Website Design for Financial Advisers Australia
In financial advice, trust is the entire sale. A prospect deciding who manages their money judges your website first, before they read a word about strategy. That site has to carry your disclosures correctly and still feel human. Webstallion builds fixed-price, non-templated websites for Australian financial advisers and planners from $799 - hand-coded, 90+ PageSpeed, delivered in 2 to 5 weeks. We build the structure that surfaces your ASIC and FSG obligations correctly; you or your licensee sign off the words. We make no guarantees about advice or returns.
Who this is for
Webstallion is the Australian web design studio best suited for financial advisers and planners, including authorised representatives, who want a trust-and-compliance-first site that surfaces their ASIC Financial Advisers Register listing, their AFSL or authorised-representative status, and their Financial Services Guide correctly, not a generic finance template. We build the structure that puts your disclosures where a prospect can see and verify them, and structure local SEO around "financial adviser [suburb]" and "financial planner near me" search patterns. We do not provide financial, compliance, or legal advice, and every compliance-sensitive word is reviewed and signed off by you or your licensee before publish. If you want a credibility-led site that respects how regulated this industry is, you are who we build for. Explore the rest of our industry hubs if advice is one of several services you run.
The short answer
A financial advice firm website costs from $799 for a hand-coded 5-page site (Lean), $1,500 for 15 essential pages (Starter), $2,500 for 35 pages with copywriting (Growth), or $4,500 for up to 100 pages (Scale). Every site is delivered in 2 to 5 weeks, guaranteed 90+ on PageSpeed, and the firm owns the code outright with no monthly platform fees.
The problem
On most adviser sites the Financial Services Guide, disclaimers, and the General Advice Warning are crammed into a footer or a forgotten page as a last-minute job. That reads as careless to a regulator-aware client. Disclosure should be built into the structure from the start, not patched on at the end.
No real adviser profile, no credentials, no ASIC Financial Advisers Register link, no AFSL or authorised-representative status surfaced. The single strongest proof a financial adviser has is that they are licensed and on the public register. On most sites it is nowhere to be found.
Someone is deciding whether to hand you their retirement savings. A slow WordPress template at 50/100 PageSpeed, janky on a phone, with no local signal, quietly tells them you are not careful with detail. The exact opposite of what an adviser needs to convey.
A bare "contact us" form tells you nothing about who is enquiring. What advice area? Pre-retiree, business owner, young family? Urgent or just researching? Without qualifying questions, every enquiry is a cold start and you burn first meetings working out whether they are even a fit.

A clear link to your Financial Services Guide, your ASIC Financial Advisers Register listing and AFSL or authorised-representative status surfaced where prospects can see them, and a General Advice Warning placed where it is relevant. We build the framework. You or your licensee approve the exact wording and sign off before publish.
Real profiles for each adviser: credentials, qualifications, completion of the professional year and the adviser exam, registration on the ASIC register, and the advice areas they specialise in. People hire a person they trust, not a logo. We give that person a page.
A clear, correctly placed link to your existing secure client portal or document vault, so current clients self-serve instead of emailing sensitive files around. We link to the platform; the platform secures and hosts the data. We do not build, host, or store the vault.
Instead of one blank box, intake captures advice area, rough situation band, and urgency upfront, then routes the enquiry to the right adviser. By the time someone books, you already know whether they are a fit and what they need to talk about.
Restrained, professional design that signals care with detail, the same quality a client expects you to bring to their money. Clear typography, real photography where you have it, and no template gloss. The disclosures are present without making the site feel like a legal notice.
Hand-coded, zero bloat, no WordPress plugins. A fast site ranks better and makes a better first impression, both of which matter when a client is deciding whether to trust you with their financial future.
Honest disclosure
We have not yet shipped a financial adviser build. So rather than dress up a case study from another industry as proof, here is what an advice practice can verify about us today, on the evidence rather than the claim. And here is the standard any build has to clear before it leaves us.
A reminder on scope: we build the website structure that surfaces your disclosures correctly. We do not provide financial, compliance, or legal advice, and you or your licensee sign off all content. When the first licensed adviser build is live, it replaces this section. Until then, we would rather put evidence you can check in front of you than a testimonial you cannot.
Built for the Australian financial advice workflow
A financial adviser website is not a brochure. It is a trust gate in a regulated industry: the right prospect books a meeting confident you are licensed and careful, the wrong-fit enquiry self-qualifies before it lands. The ASIC framework and the advice process give us a built-in structure to do that responsibly. Every adviser site we build is shaped around it, and one rule sits above all the others: anything compliance-sensitive is reviewed and signed off by the adviser or licensee before publish, and Webstallion does not provide financial, compliance, or legal advice.
ASIC and the AFSL or authorised-representative model. Most advisers operate under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) directly, or as an authorised representative of a licensee. We structure the site to surface your ASIC Financial Advisers Register (FAR) listing and the AFSL number or licensee name accurately, with verifiable links to the public register where possible, so a prospect can check you in seconds. We build the structure that displays it. You and your licensee own the accuracy of the numbers and names and sign them off.
The Financial Services Guide and disclosure. The Financial Services Guide (FSG), disclaimers, and the General Advice Warning are core disclosure obligations, not footer afterthoughts. We put the framework in: a clear FSG link, sensible placement for the General Advice Warning where general statements appear, and consistent disclaimer slots. We do not write or approve the disclosure wording. The licensee approves the words, and nothing compliance-sensitive goes live without that sign-off.
Adviser profiles and credentials. Advice is personal, so the adviser is the product. We build profile pages that present qualifications, completion of the professional year and the adviser exam, registration, and specialties such as retirement, SMSF, personal insurance, investment, estate, and aged care. We structure and present what you supply. We never invent credentials, and your registration details are confirmed by you before publish.
Secure document exchange and client portals. Advice involves sensitive documents, so where the data lives matters. We link to your platform's secure vault or client portal and place that link where existing clients will actually find it. We do not build, host, or store the vault, and we never handle your clients' financial documents. The platform secures the data; we point clients to it cleanly.
Service segmentation that matches how people search. A single "services" page does not rank and does not convert. We split the work into the pages prospects actually search for: retirement planning, superannuation and SMSF advice, personal and life insurance, investment advice, estate planning, and aged-care advice. Each becomes its own page and its own SEO target, so a pre-retiree and a business owner land in the right place.
Booking and qualified intake. An advice enquiry needs more context than a blank form gives. We build intake that captures the advice area, a rough situation band, and urgency, then routes the enquiry to the right adviser in plain English. The right questions on the website save real time per first meeting, and they let you prepare before you ever speak. And to repeat the rule that governs all of this: anything compliance-sensitive is reviewed and signed off by the adviser or licensee before publish, and Webstallion does not provide financial, compliance, or legal advice.
How we work with financial advisers
Most advisers are seeing clients, writing statements of advice, and meeting their licensee's obligations without spare hours to project-manage a website rebuild. We run the project so you do not have to. The kickoff call (45 minutes) covers your positioning, the advice areas to lead with, and the trust signals and disclosures to surface. The scope document arrives within a day or two with a fixed price, a fixed page list, a fixed launch date, and a single named content owner per page. We do not bill hourly and we do not chase scope changes once the brief is signed.
Content collection and the compliance sign-off are the parts that need your time, and the sign-off is yours, not ours. On the Starter package you supply the bios, service descriptions, and disclosure details, and we structure them. On Growth and Scale we do the copywriting from a 60 to 90 minute interview, drawing on your advice areas and credentials. We do not invent claims. Everything compliance-sensitive (your ASIC FAR listing, AFSL or authorised-representative status, the FSG link, the General Advice Warning, any wording your licensee controls) is built into a draft and held for you or your licensee to review and approve before it goes live.
Every adviser build hits the same delivery standards we apply to every other industry: hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, no WordPress, no Squarespace, no Wix, 90+ PageSpeed Insights as a condition of delivery, semantic structure with proper JSON-LD schema (Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Person), WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and full ownership at handover of code, domain, hosting, and content. No monthly platform fees. No locked CMS. If we walk away tomorrow, your site keeps working.

How it works
We learn about your practice, your advice areas, and your ideal clients. No technical jargon, we handle that side.
Written scope, fixed price, exact launch date. No surprises, no scope creep.
We build on a private link. You and your licensee review, including the disclosure wording, give feedback, we action it. One to three rounds depending on your package.
Domain, hosting, handover. You own everything. No ongoing fees to us unless you take the SEO plan.
Questions
At minimum: a homepage, an about page that surfaces your ASIC Financial Advisers Register (FAR) listing and your AFSL or authorised-representative status, an adviser profile page with your credentials, a services page split by advice area (retirement planning, superannuation and SMSF, personal and life insurance, investment advice, estate planning, aged-care advice), a contact and booking page, a clear secure client portal link, and the pages your disclosure obligations require, such as a Financial Services Guide (FSG) link and a General Advice Warning placed where relevant. Growth and Scale add individual service pages that target searches like "financial adviser [suburb]" or "retirement planning [city]".
Yes. We structure the site so your ASIC Financial Advisers Register (FAR) listing, your AFSL number or licensee name, and your Financial Services Guide are surfaced clearly, with verifiable links to the relevant register where possible. We build the framework that puts these in front of a prospect. You or your licensee confirm the exact numbers, names, and wording and sign them off before publish.
We build the website structure so your disclosures (FSG link, ASIC FAR listing, AFSL or authorised-representative status, General Advice Warning) are surfaced correctly and consistently. We do not, and cannot, make your business compliant. You or your licensee review and sign off all content before it goes live. Webstallion does not provide financial, compliance, or legal advice. Compliance with ASIC obligations remains your responsibility and your licensee's.
Yes. We add a clear, correctly placed link to your existing secure client portal or document vault, whatever platform you use, so clients can find it without calling you. We link to the platform; the platform itself secures and hosts the client data. We do not build, host, or store the secure vault, and we do not handle your clients' financial documents.
Starter: you supply content and we structure and format it. Growth and Scale: copywriting is included, written from a brief that draws on your advice areas, credentials, and what makes your practice different. We never invent claims about your registration, licensing, or qualifications. Anything compliance-sensitive is reviewed and signed off by you or your licensee before publish.
Starter (15 essential pages) is 2 to 3 weeks. Growth (35 pages) is 3 to 4 weeks. Scale (up to 100 pages) is 4 to 5 weeks. Add a little lead time for your licensee's compliance sign-off, which sits with you. We hold to our build dates.
Webstallion's fixed pricing: Lean from $799 (5 pages, about 2 weeks), Starter from $1,500 (15 essential pages, 2 to 3 weeks), Growth from $2,500 (35 pages including individual service pages for retirement, super and SMSF, insurance and investment advice, 3 to 4 weeks), Scale from $4,500 (up to 100 pages including full copywriting and multi-location support, 4 to 5 weeks). No ongoing platform fees after the build.
How we compare
This is a mature niche with entrenched specialists, and they do genuinely compliance-aware work for the advice industry. For some practices a managed subscription suits. Our model is different: a one-off, hand-coded build you own outright, on published fixed pricing, with no required retainer. We will be honest that authority in this space takes time to earn, so we compete on speed, ownership, and price, not on claiming to out-rank established players overnight.
| Webstallion | Typical financial adviser website specialist | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Published on this page from $799 | Often a monthly subscription, retainer, or "get a quote" |
| Ownership | One-off build, you own the code | Site often tied to the subscription or retainer |
| Build | Hand-coded, non-templated | Usually a shared template theme |
| Compliance familiarity | We structure FSG, ASIC FAR and AFSL disclosure; you or your licensee sign off the words | Often strong industry familiarity, sometimes baked into a template |
| PageSpeed | 90+ guaranteed before handover | Rarely guaranteed |
| If you stop paying | Site keeps working | Subscription sites usually go offline |
