Transform Your Online Presence with MediaThrive’s Website Design Service

At MediaThrive, we bring your business to life online with a professionally designed website tailored to your needs. Although we specialise in serving our local communities in Plymouth, Saltash, Devon, and Cornwall, we welcome customers from across the UK. Whether you’re a small start-up seeking an affordable entry into the digital world or an established company aiming for a sophisticated online presence, we have the perfect solution.

Our services range from simple 5-page starter packages, ideal for those just beginning their journey, to fully-fledged e-commerce websites with product descriptions and a seamless shopping cart experience. Each starter package includes one year of website hosting and a domain name, providing everything you need to get up and running.

For businesses looking for something truly unique, our bespoke website design service offers a customised look and finish that sets you apart from the competition. We’ll work closely with you to ensure your website reflects your brand’s identity and values. Additionally, we offer branding and logo designs to help your business stand out.

Beyond website design, we provide a range of services to complement your business, including Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Social Media Management, Content Creation, and AI Automation.

Starter websites designed to launch your business

Our all-in-one website packages are aimed at businesses that don’t want hidden costs and don’t need extensive brand customisation. These websites use industry-specific generic templates. For example, if you are a plumber, we will use a suitable theme for your trade. The higher the price you pay, the more features are included. For our bespoke website design service, please see below.

What do you get for the price?

You will get a fresh, modern-looking website built using the globally renowned WordPress platform and an appropriate industry-specific template and theme.

This is shared hosting, which means your website will be on a server with other websites. It is highly unlikely you’ll need a dedicated server unless you’re expecting over 50k website visitors a month. The first year of hosting is included in the package. If you wish to continue with your website after this period, additional hosting is charged at £120 per annum.

The price includes a .co.uk domain name, but please remember you may not be able to get an exact match for your company name and will need to be flexible. The domain will need to be renewed after 12 months at a cost of £25 per annum.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that encrypts data exchanged between a user’s web browser and a website. This encryption ensures that sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card details, and personal data, is protected from being intercepted by hackers. Websites with SSL certificates display “https://” in the URL and often show a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating that the connection is secure. SSL certificates are essential for building trust with users and are also a key factor in search engine rankings.

Home page, Services page, Contact page, About page and Privacy policy.

GDPR compliance is essential for UK websites to protect user privacy and avoid legal penalties. Website owners must obtain clear consent for data collection, provide a transparent privacy policy, allow users to access, correct, or delete their data, and implement strong security measures. Your started website will include a GDPR-compliant privacy policy and cookie notice.

We will require as much information about your business as possible, including your business name, address, email, social media pages, and phone number. Any customer testimonials, experience, etc., would also be very helpful. You will have the option of providing us with images of your business, such as you at work or your premises. If you are unable to provide images, we will use industry-specific stock photos.

The price includes email support but you will ultimately be responsible for the upkeep of the website. You will be made the primary admin of the site and be responsible for keeping it and any plugins updated. We can offer a basic support package that covers all of the above for an additional £120 per year.

Bespoke website design solutions to elevate your brand

Custom-built websites for businesses

At MediaThrive, we understand the importance of having a website that truly reflects your business’s unique identity and goals. Our bespoke website design service offers a fully customised solution tailored to meet your business’s specific needs.

Our team works closely with you to create a website that not only looks stunning but also functions seamlessly, ensuring an exceptional user experience that drives engagement and growth.

We can factor in full social media integration, allowing you to connect with your audience effortlessly across multiple platforms. We will setup your Google My Business account, helping your business stand out in local searches and attract more customers.

From simple, elegant designs to intricate, multi-functional websites, MediaThrive delivers a comprehensive digital presence that positions your business for success in the modern marketplace.

E-commerce websites

MediaThrive also specialises in building e-commerce websites that give you full control over your online business. Unlike selling on platforms like Amazon, Etsy, or eBay, where you face high fees and limited branding opportunities, your own e-commerce store allows you to create a unique shopping experience that reflects your brand’s identity.

With platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify, we design and develop fully customised online stores tailored to your specific needs. These stores enable you to showcase your products, manage inventory, and process payments seamlessly.

Choosing a professionally designed e-commerce store over a DIY solution ensures that your website not only looks polished and trustworthy but also functions flawlessly. At MediaThrive, we understand the complexities involved in creating an online store that is both visually appealing and highly functional.
