Overview

Jaybro Group, a leading infrastructure solutions provider in Australia and New Zealand, sought to revitalise its digital presence in line with new group branding guidelines.

The first objective was to design a site that would reinforce Jaybro’s position as a leader in the Australian infrastructure sector by showcasing its extensive history, vibrant work culture, and core values. The second was to establish a scalable design system that could evolve and be reused across the multiple businesses Jaybro had acquired over the years.

The Brief

The project required translating Jaybro’s refreshed group branding into a cohesive digital experience. The goal was to position the company as the premier infrastructure and solutions provider in the Australia–New Zealand region. The website needed to serve multiple audiences: presenting Jaybro’s industry prominence to enterprise clients, providing clarity for investors, and offering an engaging, informative experience for prospective employees. At the same time I needed to ensure the design was going to be flexible enough to scale and reutlise for future projects.

The Design Process

Based on the scope, budget, and key requirements of the project this was the proccess we applied:

Discovery Phase

The discovery phase focused on gaining a deep understanding of Jaybro’s new brand identity, business objectives, and user needs. This phase included:

Ideation Phase

The ideation phase focused on refining the strategy and presenting potential solutions:

Wireframes

Low-fidelity mockups were created to:

Hi-Fidelity Designs

Once the wireframes were validated, the high-fidelity design phase included:

Figma Design System

To ensure scalability and adaptability for future builds, we implemented a structured Figma Design System. The approach was tailored to help Jaybro scale their digital presence efficiently while simplifying the design-to-development handover:

This structured approach allowed the design to be reused and adapted for future projects, creating a long-term, sustainable solution for Jaybro Group.

What I learnt

Keeping it simple in Figma - makes a huge difference

For this project, I made a concious effort to ensure the Figma file we constructed and handed over to development, was easy to work with and understand. A common practice is to have have different component types stored on multiple pages, which can work for some teams, but in my experience this approach often lead to confusion. Therefore to reduce the potential for confusion, I opted to have all components annoated and stored on one Figma page. (which is what you can see below) Taking this minimalist approach, led to a tremendous uplift in development efficiency - which ultimately saved many hours. The lesson in short was 'Less is More'.

The Impact

The Jaybro Group project wasn’t just about refreshing a website — it was about creating a digital foundation the company could build on. Our goal was to bring the new group branding to life online, while also developing a design system that would support Jaybro’s ongoing growth and acquisitions.

The result is a digital presence that reflects who Jaybro is today while setting them up for tomorrow. With a scalable design system in place — already proven with Global Synthetics — Jaybro now has a practical, future-ready framework to carry their brand consistently and efficiently across every new site they launch.
