Web design for UK businesses that sell.
We build high-conversion websites on WordPress and WooCommerce for commercial and industrial businesses — mobile-first, fast, and structured around how your buyers actually decide.
SynthX Media is a WordPress web design agency for small businesses across the UK. Our small business website design is a fixed-scope build, quoted and agreed in writing before work starts, from £650 once-off or £109 a month (prices exclude VAT). Packages are priced by the number of pages and whether you sell online, and most sites go live within two to four weeks. Every site is built mobile-first on WordPress and WooCommerce, with on-page SEO included, so it loads fast and can be found by people searching for what you sell.

Why do most business websites fail to bring in enquiries?
Most websites fail commercially for three reasons: they load too slowly, they were designed for desktop and adapted to mobile afterwards, and search visibility was treated as something to add later. None of these show up in a screenshot, which is why a site can look expensive and still generate nothing.
They load too slowly
Bloated themes and stacked plugins push load times past the point where visitors wait. On a mobile connection, a few seconds is the difference between an enquiry and a back button.
Mobile came second
Most of your traffic is on a phone, yet most sites are designed on a desktop and squeezed down afterwards. The screen carrying the majority of your buyers gets the compromised version.
SEO was bolted on late
Structure, headings and page weight decide how well a site can ever rank. Retrofitting that onto a finished build costs more than doing it at the start, and rarely works as well.
What do I need to get a website started?
Less than you might think. We send you an outline of what each page should cover, so you are never staring at a blank page.
- Your logo, if you have one, and a rough idea of the pages you need.
- Your text and any photos worth using. Real material from your business works better than stock images.
- Prompt feedback. Content arriving late is the most common reason a build takes longer than it should.
How do we build websites that convert?
We build custom sites on WordPress and WooCommerce, designing for mobile first and writing clean, lightweight markup so the site is fast and ready to rank the day it launches. Every build is scoped and priced before work starts, then delivered in stages with review points.
Conversion-first
Shaped around where buyers hesitate and what they need to see before acting — not around what photographs well.
Mobile-first
Designed on the small screen first and scaled up, so the majority of your traffic gets the considered version.
Clean, light code
No bloated themes or plugin sprawl. Disciplined page weight keeps the site fast and cheap to maintain.
SEO from the start
Proper structure, headings and metadata built in, so the site can rank rather than needing rescuing later.
How long does a website take to build?
Most sites go live within two to four weeks. Smaller builds move faster; larger ones take longer because there's more to get right. The biggest variable is how quickly content and sign-offs come back — the more prepared you are, the sooner you launch.
Understand the goal
A 30-minute session on your goals, your buyers and your current setup. By the end we both know whether we're the right fit.
Map it before building
Pages, structure and the path a buyer takes to enquiry. You get a written scope at a fixed price before design starts.
Delivered in stages
Design and development with review points along the way, so you can course-correct while it's still cheap to do so.
Yours to keep
We test, migrate and launch, then hand over full ownership and access. Ongoing support is available if you want it.
What does a website cost?
Every website is quoted at a fixed scope before work begins, so the price you agree to is the price you pay, with no hourly billing and no add-ons appearing at the end. Cost depends on how many pages you need and whether you are selling online. Package details are on the pricing page.
Web design questions we get asked most.
Most sites go live within two to four weeks. Smaller builds move faster, while larger ones take longer because there is more to get right. The biggest variable is how quickly we receive your content and sign-offs.
Yes, completely. Once your build is paid up, the site and everything in it belongs to you. No lock-in, no holding your domain hostage, and no monthly fee just to keep your own website online.
Every site ships with SEO-ready foundations: clean structure, fast load times and mobile-first design. That gets you visible. To actively climb the rankings and pull in leads, our SEO service takes it further.
Redesigns and migrations are a large part of what we do. We audit what you have, keep what works, and rebuild the rest on a faster, cleaner foundation — without losing the ground you have already earned in search.
We stay available after launch for updates, security and support, and can advise on hosting. Ask us for details when you request a quote.
WordPress for business websites and WooCommerce for online stores. Both are widely supported, straightforward for your team to update, and avoid tying you to a proprietary platform you cannot leave.
Yes. Projects run remotely with scheduled review calls, so it does not matter where in the UK your business is based.
