In short
A SynthX Media website is a fixed-scope build, quoted and agreed in writing before work starts. Packages run from R3,000 once-off (one page) to R13,500 once-off (up to ten pages), or from R549 a month, 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.

The problem
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.
Getting started
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.
Our approach
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.
The process
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.

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.
02
Scope
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.
03
Build
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.
04
Launch
Yours to keep
We test, migrate and launch, then hand over full ownership and access. Managed hosting and care are available if you want them.
Proof
What results has a rebuild actually produced?
Two recent rebuilds: an online store grew net sales 314% to R482,934, and a retailer's organic traffic rose 184%, with a single quarter beating its entire previous year. Figures come from client Google Analytics and WooCommerce reporting, not projections.

Pricing
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 — 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. Full package details and monthly options are on the pricing page.
Questions, answered
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 do. Managed hosting and care covers updates, security, daily backups and uptime monitoring, so you are never left patching plugins or chasing downtime.
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. We are based in Gauteng and work with commercial and industrial businesses across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. Projects run remotely with scheduled review calls.
