Website Development Process

Broker Studio builds website for Mortgage Brokers whether they're starting out, been in business for a few years or are veterans of the industry. We'll work with you to understand which kinds of clients you want to target, what other growth strategies you have in place and what your goals are to make sure your website fits perfectly into your plans for the future. We've developed our own website hosting platform to ensure your website is fast, has great performance, is secure and designed specifically to convert visitors into clients.

Our record for building a Mortgage Broker website is currently less than 24 hours but usually between 3 and 5 days. We only take on a few Mortgage Broker clients at a time to make sure we're focussed on delivering the perfect website for you.

We recommend you have at least one page for each service / loan type you offer to make sure visitors can match their needs with what you offer. The typical Mortgage Broker Website built by Broker Studio has 15-20 pages ensuring that there is enough content on the various service areas you offer as well as pages to keep your aggregator happy, like your Privacy Policy and Disclaimers.

Of Course! We've helped Mortgage Brokers across Australia upgrade their existing website, either through starting fresh on the fast Broker Studio platform or rebuilding on their existing server. We've helped clients upgrade from their AFG SMART website, Connective 'My Website', slow WordPress templates and many other unsuitable website packages.

Website Speed is one of the most overlooked factors in why some Mortgage Broker websites generate more clients than others. Slow websites generally driver users away and search engines like Google generally prioritise fast websites over websites with better quality content that are slow. Broker Studio has a proprietary website hosting platform that is designed to be the quickest for Mortgage Brokers in Australia, allowing you to grow more quickly and convert visitors to clients.

Search Engine Optimisation is one of the key inclusions with a Broker Studio website that's often sold for thousands of dollars extra by unscrupulous vendors seeking to make an extra buck from Mortgage Brokers. We focus on both Technical SEO and On-Page SEO to help you get your website shown to the most amount of visitors possible. We can also offer additional support with Search Engine Optimisation depending on where your business and website is at.

We can help you transfer your existing website to Broker Studio depending on how your existing site is built and what content you'd like to keep. We often start to work with clients to transfer their website when it becomes clear that their existing website is slow, has poor content and is outdated. It's often cheaper in the long term to build a new site while taking as much content from the existing site as possible. We can work with you to understand what the most economical way forward is for your Mortgage Broker Website.

Absolutely. We've spent years working on content for Mortgage Broker Websites, focussing on helping Mortgage Brokers get found and look great. We have a process we've refined over the years to focus on the right keywords clients are searching for, along with clear and valuable information for consumers to make sure they choose you as their Mortgage Broker.

Broker Studio Mortgage Broker Websites start from $1,499 ex GST for a simple, starter website that will help you convert visitors into clients. These sites can be easily upgraded to our more established plans that contain more pages and focus more on growth than maintaining a basic online presence. We can work with most budgets to find a suitable strategy for your online presence.

Maybe, maybe not. It's important to consider how your website fits in to your current online presence and growth strategy. Some Mortgage Brokers we work with already have a decent amount of web traffic but struggle to convert it into clients. For these Mortgage Brokers, a few changes to their site can quickly help them grow. For other Mortgage Brokers that have slow websites with poor content, we generally recommend starting fresh with a new website.

We generally recommend turning off your old website once you've built a new website. This is to make sure not to confuse not only clients but also search engines like Google, not knowing which website is current and which information is correct.

Responsive Design refers to Website Development that takes into account the different devices that visitors might use to access your Mortgage Broker Website. With more and more website traffic coming from Mobile, it's critical that your website looks great on all devices to increase the chances of website visitors converting into clients. Websites that are not responsive generally struggle to convert and can have a negative impact on your credibility and reputation.

Broker Studio ensures that all of our websites are responsive making sure your visitors can see your great website regardless of the device they access from. Your website's CTA strategy will be carefully designed around being mobile first and ensuring clients can easily, book, call or understand more about your services.

Of course. Once we've finished building your new website and you're happy with all the details, we'll help you connect your existing domain name to your new Mortgage Broker website. We do this through updating your Domain Name System (DNS) settings and can also help you redirect additional domain names you might have to your new Mortgage Broker website.

We love building landing pages for our Mortgage Broker clients. Having great landing pages on the back of marketing activity is critical to converting your ad spend into new clients. We can work with you to understand the best CTA strategy for your Landing Pages depending on your ad platform, strategy and bidding tactics to make sure you convert your ad spend into new clients.

Broker Studio has built a proprietary Content Management System (CMS) that is designed just for Finance and Mortgage Brokers. Once your website is complete, you'll have access to the Broker Studio Design Portal which allows you to make changes to your website if they're required.

Sure! If growing online through content is part of your strategy, we can help you setup a blog as part of your website. We can also integrate with some of the industry blog experts including 99content to automatically update your blog each week without you having to lift a finger.

We've integrated property reports on websites for Mortgage Brokers across Australia, helping them capture the details of prospective clients. You may need an additional subscription to provide the property report but we can talk through the best way to provide property reports to clients during your website build.
