One web designer from first sketch to launch
You deal with the person building your website, not an account manager relaying messages. A small Norfolk studio means decisions get made on the call, revisions happen within hours and nothing is lost between departments. It is how we keep small business web design quick, clear and affordable.
What separates a website that works from one that just exists
Anyone can make a website look nice. We've spent twenty years learning what makes small business websites actually produce customers, and we build every one of these in as standard.
Designed around your customer's next step
Every page has one clear action: call, quote, book, buy. Layout, copy and buttons are arranged to make that step obvious, so visitors don't wander off wondering what to do.
Fast on the phones your customers use
Most local searches happen on a mobile, often on patchy signal. We build for sub-two-second loads and one-handed use, which Google rewards and your customers feel.
SEO in the foundations, not bolted on
Structure, headings, speed, schema and local signals are designed in from the first wireframe. A beautiful site nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer.
Easy for you to update yourself
Change prices, add photos, post news, without calling a developer. We build on WordPress with clean, simple editing, and train you before launch.
Your brand, not a recycled template
Two businesses that look the same can't both stand out. Your site is designed around your logo, colours and story, distinct from every competitor in your market.
Measured after launch, not abandoned
Launch is the start. We watch what visitors do, refine what underperforms, and report in plain English, because a website should keep earning its keep.
From your first website to a fully bespoke build
Different businesses start from different places. Pick the door that fits and we'll meet you there.

An action that follows the visitor
Your phone number and main call to action stay reachable on every screen, especially on mobile.
A headline that sells, not welcomes
"Welcome to our website" wins no customers. We lead with the thing you do and why it's worth choosing.
Proof where doubts happen
Reviews, credentials and guarantees placed at the exact moments visitors hesitate.
A footer that catches the scrollers
People who read to the bottom are your warmest visitors. They get a final, obvious way to act.
A website that engages, converts and gets found
You have about ten seconds to tell a visitor what they’ll get out of your website and your company. After that, and often before, they leave. Everything we design is built around surviving those ten seconds and turning the visitors who stay into enquiries.
When you want stunning web design combined with modern build techniques and marketing that works, you’ve come to the right place. We take the time to understand your company, strengths, audience and competitors, so the site truly represents your brand and converts visitors into customers rather than just looking good in a portfolio.
Drive organic traffic. SEO and site structure are designed in from the first wireframe, by the same team that runs search campaigns.
Offer a superior user experience. Fast, mobile-first layouts with clear paths to the next step, tested on the phones your customers actually use.
Convert website visitors. Calls to action, proof and messaging placed where doubts happen, so the site earns its keep from launch.
Marketing-first agency. Because we market websites for a living, we are better equipped than most design shops to build one that is geared to marketing from day one.
Web design and development services for small businesses
From a first brochure site to a fully custom platform, one team handles design, build, content and the marketing that follows.
Bespoke web design
No templated solutions. You review graphic design mockups in Figma before any code is written, so we are on the same page and adjustments happen before the build, not after it. See our affordable range for framework-based builds.
eCommerce website design
Eye-catching, easy-to-maintain and secure online stores with everything you need to manage products, pricing, customers and invoicing, every component working together for a complete experience. More on ecommerce websites.
WordPress web design
Custom WordPress sites that are visually strong and easy for you to update without technical expertise, from a simple blog to a fully featured store, with ongoing maintenance and support available.
Web development
Custom development tailored to your business: ecommerce and paid-marketing integrations, intranets, login areas, custom interfaces and the glue between your systems. See custom development.
Business automation
Automation that takes manual tasks off your desk, from processing enquiries and calls to routing orders and paperwork, freeing time and increasing leads and conversions. See AI automation.
Redesigns and rescues
Redesigning an existing site or starting from scratch, guided by user experience testing, with content and rankings protected through the switch. Pay-monthly options via our managed websites.

Based in Norfolk, building for the UK, US and Australia
A website should do more than look pretty. It should drive leads, sales and deeper engagement with your audience, which is why our Norfolk web design services are focused on your business goals: more revenue, more customers, better margins.
As a customer-centric marketing and web design agency based in King’s Lynn, we provide design and development to small businesses across the UK, the US and Australia. If you want a knowledgeable, friendly team to work with, we’d love to chat and see if we’re a good fit. See the areas we serve.
To get started we may ask for: existing marketing or brand guidelines, image and graphics files, and details of your current tech stack.
Your content, or links to previously written content for specific pages. We help with content writing if you need it.
Six to eight weeks is the typical worst case for a bespoke site; with fast communication on both sides we often complete within or before four.
What to expect: higher targeted traffic, better on-site engagement and conversions, and increased customer retention.
Readable for every visitor, on every device
Clear contrast, sensible type sizes, keyboard-friendly navigation and forms that explain themselves are built into every design. Accessible websites are easier for older customers, people on cheap phones and screen readers alike, and search engines read them more cleanly too. It is good manners that also happens to be good marketing.
Web design questions we’re asked every week
How much does web design cost?
Bespoke design and build starts at £1,500 + VAT and is quoted fixed from your brief, tailored to your budget and the scale of the job. If you need a great site rather than a custom platform, our standard website is £499 to build, then from £50 a month with hosting and care included.
How long does a web design project take?
We typically say six to eight weeks per website, assuming we have all the information we need and communication is fast at both ends. That is the worst case; we often complete within or before the four-week mark, and affordable framework builds can go live in days.
Will I own the website you create?
Yes. Once the website is built and invoices are paid you are the sole owner of the design and the site. We can of course help with maintenance and hosting on our performance servers to get the best out of it.
What do I need to supply to get started?
Any existing marketing or brand guidelines, image and graphics files, information about your current tech stack, links to previously written content, and the content you want on specific pages. We can help with the content if required.
What results can I expect?
Choosing Rivmedia is the first step to growing your brand online. Our web design delivers higher targeted traffic, better on-site engagement and conversions, and increased customer retention, and we measure those after launch rather than walking away.
Why is web design so important?
It shapes your audience’s view of your brand in seconds. A good design keeps leads on your site and learning about your business; an unappealing or out-of-date one sends them straight to a competitor. The first impression is the whole decision for many visitors.
Do you offer SEO with your websites?
Every site is built with SEO and user experience at the forefront. Beyond that we offer monthly SEO packages to increase sales and conversions and make your brand more visible locally and nationally.
What does a web designer actually do?
Plans the layout and style of a site, chooses colours, fonts and imagery, designs intuitive interfaces and user flows, then builds them with HTML, CSS and JavaScript on top of WordPress or a custom platform. Wireframes and Figma mockups come first, so the structure is agreed before anything is coded.
Do you work with businesses outside Norfolk?
Constantly. Norfolk is home base, but we design and build for small businesses across the UK, the US and Australia, with the same direct access and reporting wherever you are.
