Client: Think Strategic Finance
Industry: Finance | Home Loans
Project: Website Development, Email Setup & Configuration
Challenges
Think Strategic Finance, a newly established mortgage brokerage based in Sydney, needed a complete digital setup to launch their business professionally. Their primary challenges included:
End-to-End Website Setup: As a brand-new brokerage, they needed a modern, professional website from scratch, one that reflected their services and met industry standards.
Compliance Requirements: Their aggregator required strict inclusion of documents like credit guides, policy disclosures, and other regulated content.
Lead Capture and Booking Tools: They needed the site to generate leads effectively, including a Calendly integration and custom enquiry forms.
Low Maintenance, High Performance: They wanted something sleek and modern but lightweight to maintain, with no heavy retainers or complex tech stacks or subscription fees.
Brand Trust and Presentation: As a new business, they knew first impressions mattered. The site had to look polished and trustworthy from day one.
Strategy
To support a smooth and confident launch, we designed a strategy that focused on three key areas:
- A full website build tailored for finance professionals
- Compliance integration based on aggregator requirements
- Functional design and digital setup with minimal ongoing overhead
Execution
Website Design and Development:
We designed a fast, responsive website with a clean and modern aesthetic. It was built specifically for the mortgage space, with clarity, trust, and credibility in mind.
Calendly and Lead Form Integration:
Users can now easily book discovery calls and submit enquiries through a seamless booking form setup. Both the Calendly widget and CRM-connected lead form are fully integrated.
Compliance and Lending Panel Setup:
We implemented all necessary compliance pages and disclosures to satisfy aggregator requirements, including privacy policy, credit guide, dispute resolution, and more. A full lending panel was also displayed to highlight broker reach.
Email Setup and Deliverability Configuration:
We configured professional email addresses and ensured high deliverability by properly setting SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. This avoided future issues with form notifications or client communications ending up in junk folders.
Visual and Interactive Features:
We added slick animations and subtle effects to bring the site to life without compromising performance. The final product is polished, engaging, and fast-loading.
Performance-First Development:
The website was built with efficiency in mind, fast load times, SEO best practices, and no bloated tech stacks. It requires minimal upkeep and avoids recurring development costs.

The project gave Think Strategic Finance everything they needed to launch confidently and professionally. With no time wasted on tech setup or design back-and-forth, they were able to go live and start building relationships with clients right away.
