The Challenge

Why Financial Advisors Need Specialized Web Design

Financial services is one of the most trust-dependent and compliance-heavy industries online. Generic website templates address neither concern.

Your Website Is Your Credibility

High-net-worth prospects evaluate financial advisors differently than any other service provider. They are entrusting someone with their family's financial future. Before they schedule a discovery meeting, they will review your website, read your team bios, evaluate your credentials, and form a trust judgment, often in under 30 seconds.

A website that looks dated, generic, or unprofessional signals that your firm does not invest in its own business. If a prospect questions whether you pay attention to details on your own website, they will question whether you will pay attention to details on their portfolio.

On the compliance side, financial advisor websites are regulated by the SEC (for RIAs) and FINRA (for broker-dealers). The SEC Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1) governs testimonials, endorsements, and performance advertising. FINRA Rule 2210 regulates communications with the public. Every page of your website must comply. Violations can result in enforcement actions, fines, and reputational damage. These are risks no advisor should take with a DIY website.

What Generic Websites Get Wrong

  • No compliance review process, so testimonials and performance claims violate SEC/FINRA rules
  • Generic stock photography that erodes trust with sophisticated prospects
  • No clear value proposition. "Comprehensive financial planning" says nothing
  • Missing ADV Part 2A disclosure, privacy policy, and required regulatory disclosures
  • No lead capture strategy, with the contact form buried on a single page
Trust & Authority

Trust-Building Design That Commands Respect

High-net-worth prospects expect sophistication. We design with a premium aesthetic: refined typography, generous white space, professional team photography, credential displays (CFP, CFA, ChFC badges), and thought leadership content positioning. Every visual element communicates competence and stability.

No clip art. No stock handshakes. No templates that look like every other advisor in your zip code. Your website should reflect the same attention to detail you bring to managing wealth.

Regulatory Compliance

SEC & FINRA Compliance Built In

Every page is designed with regulatory compliance in mind. We implement proper disclosures for testimonials and endorsements under the SEC Marketing Rule, include required disclaimers on performance information, link to your ADV Part 2A brochure, and ensure all content meets FINRA Rule 2210 standards.

Your CCO reviews and approves everything before launch. We understand the rules, but we always defer to your compliance team for final sign-off. That is their domain, and we make the process seamless for them.

Prospect Conversion

Lead Generation That Fills Your Pipeline

Financial advisor prospects do not convert on the first visit. We build multi-touch lead capture: complimentary consultation CTAs, downloadable guides (retirement planning, tax strategies), newsletter sign-ups, and webinar registration pages.

Each touchpoint is designed to move prospects through the awareness-consideration-decision funnel at their own pace. The result: a steady flow of discovery meeting requests from prospects who already trust your expertise.

Our Process

How We Design Financial Advisor Websites

A compliance-integrated process that produces websites your CCO can approve and your prospects will trust.

01

Discovery & Compliance Mapping

We review your firm's registration (RIA, broker-dealer, or dual), identify applicable SEC and FINRA advertising rules, audit your current website for compliance gaps, and interview your team to understand your ideal client profile, service model, and competitive positioning.

02

UX Strategy & Wireframing

We wireframe the complete prospect journey, from search to discovery meeting. Homepage, service pages, team bios, resources, and contact. We map CTA placement, lead capture touchpoints, and compliance disclosure locations.

03

Visual Design & Development

Premium visual design that communicates authority and trust. Built on WordPress for content ownership and ease of updates. Your CCO reviews all content, disclosures, and design elements for compliance before we move to launch preparation.

Final compliance review ensures all disclosures, disclaimers, and regulatory requirements are met. Pre-launch QA covers cross-browser testing, mobile responsiveness, page speed, accessibility, and form functionality.

FAQ

Financial Advisor Website Design Questions

During discovery, we identify whether your firm is subject to SEC rules (for RIAs), FINRA rules (for broker-dealers), or both. We design compliance into the website from the start: proper testimonial disclosures under the SEC Marketing Rule, performance advertising disclaimers, ADV Part 2A and Form CRS links in the footer, and all required regulatory language. We build a compliance review checkpoint into our process where your CCO approves all content before launch. We understand the rules, but we always defer to your compliance team for final sign-off. That is their domain.
Yes, with proper disclosures. The SEC Marketing Rule (adopted in November 2022) allows RIAs to use testimonials and endorsements, provided they include specific disclosures: whether the person is a current client, whether they were compensated, and material conflicts of interest. We design testimonial sections with the required disclosure language built in. FINRA-registered firms have additional restrictions. Your compliance team will determine what is permissible for your specific registration. We design the templates to accommodate whatever disclosure requirements apply.
Yes. We integrate with Wealthbox, Redtail, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, and HubSpot. Form submissions from your website flow directly into your CRM with automated notifications, contact creation, and task assignment. We also integrate scheduling tools (Calendly, HubSpot Meetings, Acuity) so prospects can book discovery meetings directly from your website, with the appointment details automatically syncing to your CRM and calendar.
Most financial advisor websites take 3 to 4 weeks from signed proposal to launch. The timeline includes discovery, wireframing, design, development, compliance review, and QA. Enterprise wealth management firms with custom tools may take slightly longer depending on scope.
Financial services content writing is included with every web design project. Our writers understand the balance between clear communication and compliance requirements. We write service descriptions that differentiate your firm without making prohibited claims, team bios that build trust and credibility, and blog content that demonstrates expertise while remaining compliant. All written content goes through your CCO for compliance review before publication.
Yes. Local SEO architecture is built into every financial advisor website we create. This includes FinancialService schema markup, city-specific landing pages for each office location, Google Business Profile optimization guidance, and content strategies targeting local search queries like "financial advisor in [city]" or "retirement planner near me." For ongoing organic growth, many advisors pair their website with our SEO services for content marketing, link building, and continuous search visibility improvement.
