Written around the clients you actually want, and structured so they can find you. NLG writes and builds it, and it stays yours.
Demonstration templates, live broker sites built on them, and larger custom work. Each one is a pattern rather than a one off, so look for the shape of your business.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
The pattern for a broker with one main client type. The tool that client actually needs sits in the hero rather than three sections down, and the rest of the page answers the questions that follow it. Swap the client type for whoever you write most of.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
For a broker whose clients arrive with an accountant or adviser already involved. Structure leads and rate follows. The pattern suits any book where the decision is made by more than one person.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
The pattern for a broker who is known in one place or one industry. Income that gets treated as an exception elsewhere is treated as normal here, and the broker's own name carries the page.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
A business name rather than a person, for a practice with more than one broker. Credibility comes from the lender panel and the process rather than from one person's story.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
The pattern for a broker with a defined niche. One page, ordered the way that niche asks its questions, so a client meets their own situation rather than a general introduction. Swap the niche for healthcare workers, defence, a professional body or any community you write for.
Full multi page website - quoted separately
For a practice selling to businesses rather than households. Written like a spec sheet: what gets funded, what security it takes, who funds it. The pattern suits any book where a client wants specifics before they will call.
Landing page - included with Enhanced
A landing page once it belongs to somebody: their name, their market, their photograph. The clearest look at what one of these becomes after the branding goes on.
Full multi page website - included with Premium
A business brand with a resources library behind it, for a practice that wants to publish rather than only list what it does.
Full multi page website - included with Premium
A page each for the two or three things you write most of. The ordinary shape of a full multi page website when no single client type dominates the book.
Full multi page website - included with Premium
A finance business built alongside a connected practice, so both sides read as one business rather than two.
Full multi page website - included with Premium
A finance business with a sister business alongside it, and a profile page for the broker. The pattern for anyone whose clients also come through a second business they own.
Custom build - quoted separately
NLG's own site, built in house by the same team. It is here because the work being offered is not work NLG sends out.
Custom build - quoted separately
A calculator and an online application rather than a brochure. What a larger build is for when the site has to do a job, not describe one.
Custom build - quoted separately
Guides and case studies structured so they can keep being added to rather than replaced. What a larger build looks like when the site has to keep growing.

Both are written from scratch for you and both are yours. The difference is how much room the copy gets, and what the site is able to do.
$1,750 + GST the website
Also included in an Enhanced onboarding package
NLG holds the keys to this one: you send the change, NLG makes it. You still own it, and it still leaves with you.
$3,000 + GST the website
Also included in a Premium onboarding package
Pages past the four are quoted on their own - a profile page for a second broker, for instance.
Written for your clients and your market, and licence-compliant from the first line. Not a generic template with your name dropped into it.
From your branding guide to a published site in under a fortnight, without a project manager or a round of revisions to chase.
Written and ordered so a visitor always knows what to do next, with your phone number a tap away on a phone.
Applied from your NLG branding guide, so the site matches your brochures and your social assets.
An enquiry form and a booking link that put a client in your inbox or your calendar directly. Nothing is pooled and nothing is routed anywhere else first.
Page titles, descriptions, structured data and a readable page structure, so search engines and AI assistants can tell who you are and what you write.
What a credit licence requires on a website is specific, and it changes. NLG writes it for a living.
Seven to ten days from your branding guide to a published site. An agency quote on the same work starts at four weeks.
Changes go through NLG. There is no hosting account to remember and no plugin to update at eleven at night.
The engineering is shared across the network, so you pay for the writing and the design decisions rather than for a build from nothing.
A full website can carry a page for each broker: their photo, what they write, and an enquiry form that comes straight to them.
Best for a practice with more than one broker, where a referrer wants to send someone to a person rather than a company.
Yes. NLG does not release your printed brochures until a live, compliant site is verified, because the brochures carry a QR code pointing at it.
Yes, and you pay the website cost only: $1,750 + GST for a landing page or $3,000 + GST for a full multi page website. The figures on this page are for the website itself, so an existing broker adding one later is not charged an onboarding fee again.
Most brokers in that position end up starting again, because hosting, security, page speed, structured data and the way AI assistants read a page have all moved in recent years. Work on an existing build is quoted at $170 + GST per hour, and the total is hard to know before it starts. A new build has a fixed number on it. Your domain comes across either way.
NLG builds it and NLG manages changes, on both the landing page and the full website. Minor updates are included. Larger work is quoted at $170 + GST per hour.
On the landing page, hosting is in the price. On the full website, the first year of hosting is in the price and it is $300 + GST a year after that.
On the full website, yes: you can have your own login. On the landing page, no. You send NLG the change and NLG makes it, which is part of why hosting and minor updates sit inside that price. Either way the site is yours and it leaves with you.
A blog is optional on the four page full website. The landing page does not include one.
Client downloads are supported on the full website. The landing page does not include them.
If you have one, yes, and NLG points it at the site. If you do not, book a time and NLG will talk through the options before anything is registered.
Yes. The build, the copy written for you and the domain are yours, and the site leaves with you if you leave the network. It is a normal WordPress site, so any developer can pick it up.
Anything past four pages is scoped and quoted on its own, and so is an extra page added to a four page build - a profile page for a second broker, for instance. The larger builds in the panel above are marked as custom builds.
On a landing page, nothing: hosting and minor updates are in the price. On a full multi page website, $300 + GST a year for hosting after the first year, and minor updates are included there too. Larger work on either is quoted at $170 + GST per hour. There is no monthly subscription and no contract.
Book fifteen minutes. Tell me who your clients are and what you have now, and I will tell you which build covers it and what it costs.
