Sound familiar?
These are the most common web design problems we hear from business owners.
Your website looks dated
Visitors size you up before they read a word. A site that looked modern three years ago now tells people you might be behind the times, and they judge your work by it.
Low conversion rates
Traffic arrives, then leaves without enquiring. Every visitor who lands on your site and walks away is a potential client you didn't win.
Slow, clunky performance
Every extra second of load time costs you. Visitors give up, Google ranks you lower, and the leads go to whoever loads faster.
DIY disaster
Template builders get you a website. They don't get you rankings, conversions, or a site built around how your customers actually buy.
Everything you need in one engagement
Every web design build covers the fundamentals plus the strategic work that actually moves the needle.
Custom Design
No templates, no compromises. Every design starts from a blank page and is built around your brand, your audience, and what you need the site to do.
Conversion-Focused
Every page has a job. Layout, copy and calls to action all point visitors towards the next step, whether that's a purchase, an enquiry, or a booking.
Lightning Fast
Slow sites lose people. We build for performance from day one, because speed affects your conversions and your Google rankings.
SEO-Ready
Built to be found. Clean code, sound structure, and on-page SEO handled during the build, not bolted on after launch.
Mobile-First
We design for the phone screen first, then scale up to desktop. Google indexes the mobile version of your site first, so that's where the build starts.
Easy to Manage
A CMS you can actually use. Update content, swap images, and publish pages yourself, without calling a developer.
How it works
A clear process from start to finish. You stay in the loop at every step.
Discovery
We start with your business, your goals, and the customers you want more of. Good design decisions come from understanding who you're selling to, not from guesswork.
Strategy & Wireframes
We map the user journey and wireframe every page with a clear purpose. Before anything looks good, it has to make sense.
Design
Custom visual design that fits your brand and your customers. You see full mockups and sign off before a single line of code is written.
Development
Clean, modern code built for speed. We develop on WordPress, Shopify, or frameworks like Astro, depending on what suits your business.
Review & QA
Before anything goes live, we test across devices and browsers, check page speed and Core Web Vitals, and walk every page through with you. Nothing launches until it's fast, accessible, and right.
Launch & Support
A clean launch and a proper handover, then we stick around. Support, updates, and fixes are part of the job, not an afterthought.

Custom Design
No templates, no compromises. We design every page around how your customers make decisions, so your website does more than look the part. It wins you work.
Learn moreE-commerce
An online store has one job: make buying easy. We design e-commerce experiences that present your products properly, remove the friction between browsing and buying, and give shoppers a reason to trust you with their card details.
Learn moreWordPress
A WordPress site should give you control, not anxiety. We design custom WordPress websites that look sharp, load fast, and have a back end you can actually use, without calling a developer for every small change.
Learn moreResponsive
Google ranks your site on its mobile version, and a large share of your visitors arrive on a phone. We design responsive websites that work properly on phones, tablets, and desktops, so nobody gets a squeezed-down version of the real thing.
Learn moreUI/UX
The best interfaces are invisible. We design digital products people use without thinking, where every screen makes the next step obvious and nothing gets between your users and what they came to do.
Learn moreRedesign
Your website should be your best salesperson. Most aren't. We redesign websites to load fast, keep the rankings you've earned, and turn more of your visitors into customers. It starts with a free strategy session, not a sales pitch.

Real reviews from the businesses we have built, ranked and run campaigns for.
“Our CPA dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 200-300%. Not only almost immediately, but consistent for the last few months.”
We’ve been working with Jason from Lucid Media and couldn’t recommend him more. He’s been a fast communicator, proactive, and always willing to help. Jason goes above and beyond with providing recommendations and support.
The websites he’s built and implemented for us have been excellent. He has captured our business perfectly and ensured that it is user friendly on both desktop/mobile. Fantastic service!
Jason and his team have been fantastic to work with from the initial website design and with the ongoing maintenance. They built us a really professional and well-designed site that represents our business well and it has been great having their continued support.
It is nice to know someone reliable can manage our website and make sure it stays ranking on Google. They are always responsive when we need updates or changes made, and their technical expertise gives us peace of mind.
“I’ve had around 10 websites developed over the years, and Jason is by far the best web developer I’ve ever worked with.”
I have been working with Jason for a year now and he is absolutely brilliant, honest and reliable. His client first approach has meant his work is always on time and to a high standard.
Most of all he actually gets the results he says he will.
Communication with him is always smooth and effortless. The website he created for me exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m genuinely impressed with both the design and the overall structure.
I’m looking forward to seeing what else the website can bring to me. If you’re thinking about building a website, Jason is definitely the person to go to.
“Absolutely great in delivering our e-commerce website. A great experience from start to finish, and even beyond.”
Working with Jason @ Lucid Media on our website was a great experience from start to finish. Jason brought our vision to life with creativity and professionalism; he understood what we were after, and this could be seen in the result.
The design is clean and modern, and the functionality is exactly what we needed. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and deadlines were always met. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier web design and development.
I had Lucid Media do some SEO work for us and I'm super impressed with the results. Jason also took the time to educate me deeply on the topic so I didn't feel like everything was smoke and mirrors like I have had with previous agencies.
Working with Lucid Media was an excellent experience from start to finish. They took the time to thoroughly analyse our previous website, understand our product, and align with our company goals before creating a new, professional layout and copy.
They truly went above and beyond, exceeding expectations at every step. I genuinely enjoyed the collaboration and look forward to working with them again in the future.
I had a call with Jason and was so impressed by how in-depth it was. He really listened, understood where I’m at, and gave me a clear action plan that I can actually use.
It was practical, straightforward, and made me feel confident moving forward with my ads. I couldn’t recommend working with him enough.
“We wanted to bring our idea for an app to life. He turned our ideas into reality.”
Lucid Media provides great service, quickly establishing and refining our website. They are always available to us when we need changes made.
Expert in SEO which is critical, our company now ranks at the top of Google searches, alongside our international suppliers but ahead of other agents around the world. We totally recommend Lucid as a highly competent and committed website developer and manager.
We had previously used another digital company for our website and digital marketing… things went downhill quickly, and our business suffered badly.
Within 30 minutes, we were on a Teams meeting discussing the problems we were facing. By 2am, Jason had sent us a detailed report… By 4pm, our Google Ads were back up and running.
Everything was turned around in less than 24 hours… seeing results that quickly was honestly incredible.
Jason and the team at Lucid Media have helped get our business back on solid ground… Young, full of energy, passionate, and genuinely driven to help businesses succeed.
Jason created our JunkBoss company website from start to finish. He always responded immediately, shared great ideas, and the final site looks spectacular!!
Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their website done.
“They took the time to understand our vision and business needs, translating them into a stunning, user-friendly website.”
Communication was insanely good, the work Jason provided me with was on a new level and blew me away. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you then he is your man.
From the start, Jason has taken the time to understand my business properly rather than just pushing a generic marketing setup. We’ve built out a new website, landing pages, CRM integration, Google Ads and Meta campaigns, and the attention to detail across everything has been excellent.
What stands out most is his responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly. Any time we’ve needed changes or seen something in the data, he’s on it straight away and is always looking for ways to improve performance rather than just letting campaigns run.
The key difference is that he genuinely feels invested in the success of the business, not just running ads in the background.
“He was really acting in our best interests and went beyond what we were expecting him to achieve.”
When the finance company I manage, Fee Funders, changed ownership, Lucid Media took over all aspects of our IT and technology, and the impact has been outstanding. Jason quickly learned our legacy systems, implemented critical changes during the transition, and then led the development of our new software platform and reporting systems.
Jason is exceptional across all areas of technology, both front-end and back-end. He’s practical, solutions-focused, and genuinely understands business needs as well as the technical side.
Jason has been awesome to work with over the last few months. Whenever we've had any sort of issue with our website, he is extremely prompt in resolving it. Very professional and helpful, I highly recommend.
“Jason is exceptional, excellent communications, a highly motivated individual. Such rare traits - very happy with his development work for us!”
Jason has been awesome in the work he has done for us. He is fast, very responsive and professional. Would highly recommend.
The team at Lucid Media have provided excellent service while recently coming in to help position J-Tip It to where they need to be!
We are absolutely blown away with their quick responses, smooth customer service and their initiative to stay 10-steps ahead at all times. Results are immediate and the cost is undeniably justified.
If you want to be in safe hands, choose Lucid!
“The site looks clean, professional, and easy to use. He made the whole process super simple and stress-free.”
