While COVID-19 is causing havoc all over Australia, for savvy entrepreneurs it is an opportunistic time to revisit the business’ digital strategy. If you are a mortgage broker who has relied on in-person lead generation, now is the time to consider how the right mortgage broker website design can help your business grow during these uncertain times.
Professional Websites for Mortgage Brokers at an Affordable Price
It can be difficult to obtain a professional website for an affordable price which is why we decided to optimise our websites specifically for the financial industry. This means that not only do you get a specialist solution designed for mortgage broking, you also get it for a fraction of the cost.
As we continue to refine our web design and development process we translate these efficacies to our clients resulting in greater affordability, better access to industry tools and more secure mortgage broker websites.
Today, we offer a wide range of mortgage broker website design packages which can be tailored based on your business needs, so that you can scale your solution as you grow.
Generate New Leads
Successful mortgage brokers in the industry know that leads are the key to increasing revenue, yet often there is an over reliance on offline lead generation and word-of-mouth. Implementing a good digital strategy however, can help you generate leads from other channels such as search engines and social media. These leads can complement your offline marketing efforts so that your business becomes bullet proof at all times.
When you work with our team we not only help you get the best mortgage broker website in Australia, we will also work with you to optimise your website for lead generation and conversion.
Getting Started with a Website
Getting started is as easy as 1, 2, 3. In three simple steps we help you get up and running with a website that can connect you with new customers.
First get in touch, and we’ll show you our selection of packages. Depending on your budget, you can choose what your ideal mortgage broker website design solution is.
Next, we’ll ask you for a couple things such as your logo and any previous marketing or brand material you may have created. If you don’t have anything other than a logo, don’t stress. The team are adept at working with what we have available to us.
The final step is the ‘go live’ phase. In this phase we may ask you for login details to get your website online. Most of the time our clientele prefer our team to handle everything but if you have a preference to do it yourself, we’ll give you explicit instructions on what to do.
Why Consider a New Mortgage Broker Website Design?
With the RBA slashing the official interest rate customers are now looking around for better deals by searching the internet and actively researching. As they do this, your brand needs to be top-of-mind. More people are spending more time online, making it the perfect reason why you should get your brand online and ranking high for targeted key searches to attract new customers.
We pride ourselves in creating mortgage broker websites that generate return on investment. This means that a dollar spent should be two dollars returned. Using our tools and calculators that are unique to the mortgage broking industry, we help you generate new traffic and help you turn this traffic into quality leads that can help your business prosper.
When done right, your mortgage broker website design should do your marketing for you. A good design tells your customers who you are, the services you provide and more, so that when they call through they are already a qualified lead. Let your website do the qualifying for you so that when a potential customer gets in touch, you know they already need your help.
If You Already Have an Existing Website...
You’ve made a great start! Now you need to be assessing if your current website is actually helping your business or hurting it.
With more customers expected to use mortgage brokers for their refinancing, investment and first home loan buying needs, you need to make sure that you’re presenting the best mortgage broker website design possible. This includes making sure your website has the necessary information and tools customers are looking for.
If you already have an existing website, then we can help you to undertake an audit of how it is performing. Simply get in touch and we’ll conduct a website assessment for your business free of charge.
Typical Expenses of Mortgage Broker Websites
Licensing Fees
Platforms or software can come with monthly or annual licensing fees. While the fees may be reasonable, often you can find a similar product or service with less fees that offer the same value to your business. Our mortgage broker websites for example, do not include licensing fees and is provided free of charge as part of our service.
Website Hosting
Your website needs to have a hosting server to be ‘online’. This can be either hosted by yourself or managed by a third party service. Hosting prices can vary based on the robustness, service levels and type of servers used. Our website servers are provisioned in partnership with Amazon Web Services and included as part of the monthly support fee.
Ongoing Maintenance
Once your website is online it needs to be continuously supported. Without updates, your system could be vulnerable to exploits as early as tomorrow. While required, maintenance by itself can be expensive. This is why we provide ongoing support and maintenance as part of the monthly support fee so you know the total costs upfront.
How Much Does a Mortgage Broker Website Design Cost
As a financial professional we understand that your expertise isn’t necessarily websites, and we appreciate it can be daunting to know where to start with assessing whether or not you have the best website design for mortgage brokers.
To help our clients, we always recommend to start from a place of familiarity – by looking at your expenses. If you have an existing website see if you can conduct an audit of how much it is costing you on an ongoing basis. This should include:
- Any fees you are paying on a monthly basis for your platform;
- The cost of making content changes;
- 3rd party fees for integrations, tools or calculators; and
- Any costs associated with website hosting, ongoing maintenance and/or support.
Most mortgage broker websites cost between $3,000 and $9,000. However, for mortgage brokers requesting custom features or a unique mortgage broker website design it is possible that this fee can increase in excess of $30,000. Furthermore, your monthly fees can range from $50 to $300 per month depending on the level of support required.
If you don’t have an existing website, or are looking to get a new website made especially for the mortgage broking industry, then we always recommend writing down how much you expect to pay and your total budget before you begin the process of looking for an agency. This will help ensure that you don’t go over budget, and that you are able to find a website design and development agency that can create a cost-effective solution in line with your expectations.
