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.

Would an attitude to risk questionnaire be helpful, we know how buy financial advisers are

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.

2nd April 2017

financial advisers and the importance of professional photography business headshots, does your firm need professional photos?

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.

How IFAs can build a loyal audience on the web

6th February 2015

How IFAs can build a loyal audience on the Web

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....

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.
