Frequently Asked Questions

Here are just a few FAQs about our services. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

The cost of building a website in the UK in 2024 varies widely depending on the type of website, its complexity, and the level of customisation required. For a basic website, such as a simple business site with a few pages (Home, About, Contact, Services), costs can be quite affordable. MediaThrive has basic website starter packages available from as little as £299.

This depends on the size and complexity of the project. A smaller starter website can typically be ready within 2 to 3 days. Larger, more complex projects can take several weeks. Give us a call today to discuss your requirements and we can give you a realistic timeframe.

In addition to the initial setup costs, there are ongoing expenses to consider. Domain names typically cost between £10 and £30 per year, and our managed WordPress hosting starts at £100 per year for basic services. Maintenance and updates can add another £500 to £2,000 per year, depending on the complexity and frequency of updates required. Additionally, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and marketing services, which are crucial for driving traffic to your site, can range from £300 to £2,000 or more per month, depending on the scope of services you need. These prices are general estimates and can vary significantly based on specific project requirements.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the practice of enhancing a website so that it ranks higher in search engine results, such as Google. When people search for information online, they typically click on one of the top results, so having your website appear on the first page is crucial. SEO involves various techniques to make your site more attractive to search engines, including using relevant keywords, creating high-quality content, and ensuring the site is user-friendly and fast.

The importance of SEO lies in its ability to increase your website’s visibility. The higher your site ranks, the more likely people are to visit it, which can lead to more customers and sales. However, SEO is not a one-time effort. Search engines constantly update their algorithms to provide the best results to users. This means that your website needs regular updates and adjustments to maintain and improve its ranking. Staying up-to-date with these changes and continuously optimising your site is essential to ensure it remains competitive and visible.

MediaThrive can offer SEO addons to your existing website package that include initial optimisation and ongoing support.

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. For your business, AI can be a game-changer in several ways. For instance, AI virtual assistants can handle routine tasks like scheduling appointments or managing emails, freeing up your time for more strategic work. Similarly, AI-driven chatbots can provide instant customer support on your website, answering common questions and resolving issues around the clock, which can greatly enhance customer satisfaction.

Additionally, AI can streamline and automate various business processes, such as data analysis and inventory management. This can lead to increased efficiency and reduced operational costs, as AI systems can quickly process large amounts of data and make informed decisions or predictions. By leveraging AI technologies, your business can improve productivity, offer better customer service, and stay ahead in a competitive market.

At MediaThrive we offer a full range of the latest AI services that can save you time and money regardless of your business size.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer as it depends on factors like industry competitiveness, budget, investment, and domain age. Generally, it can take between 3 and 6 months to start seeing results. We prioritise transparency and believe that rushing the process doesn’t give it a fair chance to work. Website Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) isn’t a quick fix, but rather a part of your ongoing business growth strategy. Although results might come quickly at times, the real benefits require time and effort. At Media Thrive, we don’t lock you into contracts or set a minimum term for your SEO service. We make sure you understand the process before we start working for you.

We will work with anyone from a sole trader to a medium-sized business with several employees. Whether you’re after a simple starter website or a fully functioning e-commerce store with product pages and shopping cart functionality, MediaThrive can help.

Yes, no problem If your current website uses the WordPress platform. If not, we can migrate your website from Wix or similar platforms.

Social media marketing is the use of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn to promote your business and engage with your audience. It involves creating and sharing content such as posts, images, and videos that attract and interact with potential customers. The goal is to build a community around your brand, increase awareness, and ultimately drive more traffic to your website or physical store.

The importance of social media marketing for your business cannot be overstated. It provides a direct way to connect with your customers and get immediate feedback. By having an active presence on social media, you can increase your brand’s visibility, reach a larger audience, and generate more leads. It also allows you to target specific demographics, ensuring your marketing efforts are directed towards the people most likely to be interested in your products or services. Additionally, engaging content can encourage shares and recommendations, amplifying your reach even further. In today’s digital age, a strong social media presence is essential for staying competitive and growing your business.

Email marketing is a way of promoting your business by sending emails directly to potential and existing customers. These emails can include promotions, updates, newsletters, or personalised offers, all designed to keep your audience informed and engaged with your brand. It’s a powerful tool because it allows you to communicate directly with people who have shown interest in your business, making it easier to build relationships and encourage repeat business.

The importance of email marketing lies in its ability to reach customers in a personalised way. Unlike social media posts, which are seen by a broad audience, emails land directly in someone’s inbox, making them more likely to be noticed. With well-crafted email campaigns, you can keep your business top of mind, drive sales, and even gather valuable feedback from your customers. It’s a cost-effective way to maintain regular contact with your audience and turn leads into loyal customers.
