What We Were Solving

The firm managed over 200 million GBP in client assets but their website generated approximately one qualified lead per month. The existing site was a five-page WordPress brochure with generic stock photography, no call-to-action hierarchy, and a contact form buried on a separate page. The bounce rate was 78 percent and competitors were investing heavily in digital. The average client lifetime value exceeded 85K GBP making every lost lead extremely costly.

Our Strategic Approach

We built a conversion-first website where every design decision was reverse-engineered from the desired outcome: a booked portfolio review. The homepage leads with a clear authority narrative that flows into consultation requests. We built dedicated service pages with outcome-focused copy and inline booking. FCA disclaimer integration is treated as part of the trust architecture, not added as an afterthought. The result: perfect Core Web Vitals and page one rankings for three high-value local terms.

Deliverables

  • Conversion-first website with authority-building narrative
  • Dedicated service pages with inline consultation booking

  • FCA-compliant disclaimer integration as trust signals
  • Local SEO optimisation targeting high-value search terms
  • Core Web Vitals optimisation achieving perfect scores
  • Analytics with conversion funnel tracking
