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 mortgage broker website at an affordable price due to the costs involved with working with designers and developers. This is why our team focus on creating websites for the financial industry – we understand the need for quality digital products within mortgage broking and have a strong focus on delivering turn key solutions.
This means not only do you get a specialist solution designed for mortgage broking, you also get it for a fraction of the cost due to the expertise and efficacy our team has built over time. As we refine our web design and development process we translate these efficacies into 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 to your business needs.
Generate new leads
Successful mortgage brokers know that a constant flow of leads are the key to increasing revenue, yet often there is an over reliance on offline lead generation and word-of-mouth. Implementing a 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
In three simple steps we can help you get up and running with a website that can connect you with new customers. First, get in touch – we’ll show you our selection of mortgage broker website design packages. Depending on your budget, you can choose what your ideal website solution is and how you want to bring your brand to life.
Next, we’ll ask for a couple things such as your logo and any marketing or brand material you may have. 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. We take all of this and start making your mortgage broker website.
The final step is the ‘go live’ phase. During 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 interest rates, customers are looking around for better deals by searching the internet and actively researching online. As they do this, your brand needs to be accessible. More people are increasing their time online during the consideration phase, making it crucial that you have a website that is ranking high for targeted key searches relevant to your business.
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 website features, tools and calculators that are specially designed for mortgage broking, we can help you generate new traffic and help you turn this traffic into quality leads to improve customer acquisition.
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 assess if your 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 in the future, 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, let us help you 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.
Examples of expenses from mortgage broker websites
Licensing fees
Website platforms can come with monthly or annual licensing fees. While the fees may be reasonable, you may be able to find similar products with less fees that offer the same value. Our mortgage broker website solution does not include ongoing licensing fees and is provided free of charge as part of your maintenance service.
Website hosting
Your website needs to have a server hosting it to be online. This can be either hosted by yourself or managed by a third party. 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 using cloud computing.
Website maintenance
Without updates your website could be vulnerable to exploits once it goes online. Updates however, can be expensive to support, which is why we provide all-inclusive software updates, support and maintenance as part of a fixed monthly fee. This way you know the total costs upfront and can budget accordingly.
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 to maintain and improve that website on an ongoing basis. This should include:
- Any fees you are paying on a monthly basis for your platform;
- The cost of making additional 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 expense 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 and hosting capacity required.
If you do not have an existing website, or are looking to get a new website made for the mortgage broking industry, then we recommend first writing down how much you expect to pay and your total budget before you begin the process of looking for a web design and development company. This will help ensure that you don’t go over budget, and that you are able to find a company that can create a cost-effective solution in line with your expectations.
