Attitude to Risk Questionnaire
1st November 2021
Is this something that could save you valuable time? We know how busy our financial advisers are
We are excited to be working on an attitude to risk questionnaire (15 questions in total). A client asked for it to help his clients understand their attitude to risk. It saves him doing it manally and having to calculate the score!
There was no charge for this service, since we feel it's a development that can benefit our other directly authorised clients.
Our New Mortgage Website Designs
16th August 2019
Check out our New Mortgage Website Designs!
Mortgage Advisers have always been informed that we are able to adapt any of our IFA Website Designs and we even have our own Mortgage and Stamp Duty Calculators, but we thought it was high time we crafted something just for them.
It's an exciting step in our journey to showcase some stunning designs for Morgage Advisers, we hope you agree.
Our Mortgage websites cost £385 with a monthly fee of £30, what's more there are no charges for the first 2 months.
Our IFA Websites are Great Value!
20th May 2019
We're quite unique in that we deliver a cost effective yet professional website offering a degree of individuality. It isn't out of a box, yet the price is reflective of a templated site
That's right, the price of a templated website, the focus on you, your services and how you want to be marketed. Kind of in between a templated site and a customised site. It just makes thing that little more personal and engaging.
Secure Certificates (SSL) and GDPR
4th July 2018
With GDPR (Data Protection 2018) Secure certificates (SSL) are needed if you're using an online enquiry form.
Security has always been a priority for Google and we know that it is starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal. But it doesn't stop there, if your website is using an online form, then it needs to have an SSL certificate.
Are you making the most of your newsletters?
26th January 2018
Advisers need to communicate regularly with their clients. An annual meeting allows too much time for a client to investigate other options and not enough opportunities for you to build on a relationship.
We can help you do that with our free quarterly branded newsletters, we'll even help you with the email wording
Are you getting the most from your financial website?
12th October 2017
It is somewhat unusual in today's online world to come across an IFA without a website.
However not all sites are the same. We certainly work incredibly hard to give our clients value for money, including marketing material on a regular basis together with advice for getting ahead.

2nd April 2017
With the online world of websites it's hard for prospective clients to connect with you. That's why personal photos and testimonials are so important. They help to build trust.
The web is an anonymous place, but everyone wants to attach a face to a name. Why not add staff photos, underneath each photo a detailed bio. Often a client isn't just purchasing a product or service, they're investing in you.

Branding for IFAs
Branding is about giving your business an identity. It is a concept that extends far beyond the marketing of “brand name”. A company's brand represents their market identity: who they are, what they do and what kind of quality they provide.

It's not like reading a book. Clients scan for content, they're wanting to pick up quickly.
It's why headings and sub headings (as well as images) are so important to get your message across quickly.

15th April 2015
We reported earlier this year (See article) Google's announcement of using mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal from April 21, 2015.
April 21 is less than a week away and because of the potential impact Google's change could have, the date is now being referenced as “Mobilegeddon”. Google may have announced the update early, but it hasn't been forthcoming until more recently with details.

Read MoreClicking vs Scrolling for IFAs?
31st March 2015
There are advantages and disadvantages to both website scrolling and clicking. For instance in the case of scrolling it could seem that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Scrolling can be faster than clicking for website users. With modern devices including touch pads that use a 'swiping' action and scrolling mouse does mean that users can scroll through longer pages of content with ease.

Brochures for IFAsHow IFAs can build a loyal audience on the web
6th February 2015
Pay attention to quality over quantity and use tracking metrics that matter : visitors, referrals, bounce rate, exit page, conversion rate, top 10 pages ...
Click through does not always mean high engagement, break your content down into chunks and make use of infographics and images. It will have a far bigger impact on your audience.
Use less generic “baits” like: best, top, biggest. Make more use of personal engagement, emotion, views, news....

IFA Systems
10th March 2014
Our journey started with IFA Systems, they were innovative in being the first to offer IFAs a templated solution in 1999.
In May 2012 IFA Web Pro was formed after the acquisition from PracticeWEB didn't go as planned. We were excited to be able to retain key personnel from IFA Systems who were very much part of their website development team.
This has meant that IFA Web Pro have been able to carry on leading the IFA website market by making further innovations. We started where IFA Systems left off; now offering a more customised approach to the website templated solution.
