Award-winning website design for Suffolk businesses
Jabu Designs is a website design agency based in Suffolk. Since 2014 we've designed and built websites for hundreds of businesses across the region — from small local trades in Bury St Edmunds , to growing brands across Ipswich, Newmarket and the wider county. Every site we deliver is bespoke, built around the goals of your business, your audience, and the way you actually work.
Our team works from two studios — our flagship office on Abbeygate Street in Bury St Edmunds. That means if you're a Suffolk business, we can meet face to face, walk through your ideas in person, and stay properly accountable from kickoff to launch.
We don't believe in templates. Every website we design starts with a blank page and your business goals.
What's included in our website design service
We provide a complete website design service from the first conversation through to launch and ongoing support. Here's what's included as standard on every project:
- Bespoke design — no off-the-shelf themes. Every layout is created from scratch around your brand and audience.
- Mobile-responsive build — tested across phone, tablet and desktop so every visitor gets a great experience.
- Content management system — usually WordPress, so you can update your own content without needing a developer.
- SEO foundations — clean code, fast page loads, semantic markup and proper schema, all built in from day one.
- Accessibility — WCAG-aligned design choices so your site works for everyone.
- Web hosting and SSL — fully managed UK hosting on fast, secure servers.
- Training and documentation — you'll know how to manage your site by the end of the project.
- Ongoing support — we don't disappear after launch. Optional maintenance plans keep things running smoothly.
Our website design process
Every project follows the same five-stage process. It's been refined over a decade of work and gives you a clear sense of where the project is at any moment.
- Discovery — we start with a conversation. What does your business do, who are your customers, and what does success look like? You'll come away with a clear scope and a fixed-price quote.
- Design — we sketch, wireframe and design the site in Figma. You'll see and approve every page before we write a single line of code.
- Build — we develop your site as a clean, fast, mobile-responsive WordPress (or bespoke) build, with a proper staging environment for you to review.
- Launch — we handle the technical move to live, set up your hosting, configure email, and run final QA. You go live with confidence.
- Support — we provide training so you can manage the site, plus ongoing maintenance and updates if you'd like us to handle that side.

Types of websites we design
Over the past decade we've delivered every type of website you can think of. Some of the most common projects we work on for Suffolk businesses include:
Brochure & small business websites
Clean, professional sites that introduce your business and convert visitors into enquiries. Typically 5 to 15 pages, with a contact form, gallery, and the essential information your customers need.
eCommerce websites
Online stores built on WooCommerce, Shopify or bespoke platforms. We've built shops for everything from kitchenware to professional services. Learn more about our eCommerce service.
Membership & community sites
Login-protected websites with paid memberships, forums, event booking and member directories. Common for clubs, training organisations, and trade associations.
Corporate & multi-language sites
Larger websites for established businesses, with multiple stakeholders, complex content structures, and often a need for translation or regional variants.
