The old website was not responsive and had a dated look, with a fixed sidebar, generic banner graphics, poor typography, and a lack of a unified design language.
Before the redesign, the website listed financial products without guidance. This made lead generation expensive and ineffective.
We analyzed the content and made a matrix of different products and users’ needs, identifying financial planning products most suitable for each life event.
The four customer personas were created based on user research and market data from the client, helping us map their journey to booking a call with a financial planner.
User research showed that people had a much easier time identifying with life events than abstract financial products, leading to a higher likelihood of booking an appointment.
We designed a set of wireframes and user flows showing the ideal path for each customer persona, including a personalization strategy and return path for re-targeting on social media.
The major win was mapping all financial products to life events, making it considerably easier for people to make the right choices.
The new responsive layout looks great on all devices and offers an easy way to locate a financial planner on every page.
