Websites designed around your business needs

Not every business needs the same website. We start by getting to know yours. Who are your customers, and what do you want them to do when they find you? Then we design everything around that. To give you an idea of cost, here’s where most projects start.

Starter website

from £1,900

For new and small businesses that need a professional site of up to five pages that brings in enquiries. Includes mobile layouts, baseline SEO and launch.

Business website

from £2,350

For growing businesses and charities that want more pages and a blog or news section they can update themselves. Includes training so you’re confident making changes.

Online shop

from £4,100

For businesses that want to sell online, with secure checkout, card payments, shipping and VAT set up. Includes your first 25 products, added for you.

Larger projects

priced individually

For organisations that need a bigger site, such as several content sections, a members area, a second language or integrations with other systems. Scoped with you in detail before we quote.

Some of our favourite web design projects

One week it’s a private chef near Framlingham, the next it’s a research team at the University of Oxford. That variety is the best part of the job, and every site we make is shaped around the people who’ll use it.

Why work with Newleaf Creative

Designed around what your website needs to do

Form follows function. Before we think about colours or layouts, we work out what your website needs to achieve and who it’s for, then design around that.

25 years of design experience

Founder Paul Brown has been designing for 25 years, working on projects for Siemens, BMW and Nationwide Building Society as well as small businesses and charities across Suffolk. That experience goes into every site we build.

Fast, secure and easy to update

We build in Webflow, so there are no plugins to update and nothing to break. You can change your own text and images, and we’ll show you how.

Found on Google and in AI answers

SEO is built in from the start. Your site gets a clear structure, fast pages and content written to answer the questions your customers are asking.

Straightforward pricing

Every quote is itemised, so you can see exactly where your money goes. You only pay for what you need.

Local, personal and yours to keep

You deal directly with the designer, here in Suffolk. Once your site is live, it moves to your own account. It’s yours, and you’re never tied to us.

Paul at Newleaf Creative designed and produced an amazing website for our company. We just provided him with some basic information and photos, and from that Paul somehow put it all together.

The stages of web design

01.

Plan

We talk through your business, your customers and what your website needs to do. Then we agree the pages, features and an itemised quote.

02.

Design

We design how your site will look and work. You see it, ask for changes, and approve it before anything is built.

03.

Build

We build your site in Webflow, with mobile layouts, fast pages and SEO built in, then test it thoroughly on phones, tablets and computers.

04.

Launch and support

We put your site live, show you how to update it, and transfer it to your own account. We’re still on hand afterwards if you need us.

Web design FAQs

What makes a website effective for my business?

An effective website makes it easy for the right people to find you, understand what you offer and get in touch. That means a clear message, simple navigation, fast pages that work well on phones, and content that answers the questions your customers are asking. Good design matters, but only when it helps people do what they came to do.

How much does website design cost in Suffolk?

A small business website with Newleaf Creative starts from £1,900 for up to five pages. Most sites with more pages or a blog come in at £2,400 to £3,100, and online shops start at around £4,100. We price by the hour, at £50, so every quote is itemised. Try our website cost calculator for an instant estimate.

Can I update my website myself?

Yes. Every site we build is in Webflow, which lets you edit text and images directly on the page. If you have a blog, news or projects section, you can add new posts yourself too. We’ll show you how before launch, so you’re confident making changes.

How long does it take to design a website?

A Starter website usually takes two to four weeks from go-ahead to launch. Larger sites and online shops take around six to ten weeks. The biggest factor is often how quickly the words and images are ready, so having them prepared early keeps things moving.

What’s the difference between SEO and AEO, and do you do both?

SEO (search engine optimisation) helps your site rank in Google’s results. AEO (answer engine optimisation) helps tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews and voice assistants find and quote your content as an answer. Every site we build has a clear structure, fast pages, local detail and content written to answer real questions. We can also add schema markup, behind-the-scenes code that tells search engines and AI tools exactly what your business does.

Do you work with clients outside Suffolk?

Yes. Most of our clients are in Suffolk and East Anglia, but we work with organisations across the UK, including a research centre at the University of Oxford. Calls, design reviews and training all work well online, so distance is never a problem.

What ongoing support do you offer?

Our support plan gives you two hours of our time each month for £100, for updates, changes and the odd emergency. Unused hours roll over for a month. Or, if you’d rather, you can just ask as and when, at our hourly rate.
