Your two options

A landing page, or a full multi page website

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.

NLG holds the keys to this one: you send the change, NLG makes it. You still own it, and it still leaves with you.

Book a time and talk it through

The NLG build

What every NLG website comes with

  • Designed for your business

    Written for your clients and your market, and licence-compliant from the first line. Not a generic template with your name dropped into it.

  • Live in 7 to 10 days

    From your branding guide to a published site in under a fortnight, without a project manager or a round of revisions to chase.

  • A clear next step on every page

    Written and ordered so a visitor always knows what to do next, with your phone number a tap away on a phone.

  • Your branding

    Applied from your NLG branding guide, so the site matches your brochures and your social assets.

  • Enquiries and bookings, straight to you

    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.

  • Built to be found

    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.

Why brokers hand this over

Four reasons brokers do not build it themselves

  1. The compliance is not a template

    What a credit licence requires on a website is specific, and it changes. NLG writes it for a living.

  2. It is done in under a fortnight

    Seven to ten days from your branding guide to a published site. An agency quote on the same work starts at four weeks.

  3. You do not maintain it

    Changes go through NLG. There is no hosting account to remember and no plugin to update at eleven at night.

  4. It costs a fraction of the alternative

    The engineering is shared across the network, so you pay for the writing and the design decisions rather than for a build from nothing.

Part of a full multi page website

A profile page for each broker

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.

Questions brokers ask before choosing

Do I have to have a website?

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.

I am already with NLG. Can I get a website now?

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.

I already have a website. Can NLG just work on that?

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.

Who builds it, and who changes it later?

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.

Who pays for hosting?

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.

Can I edit it myself?

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.

Can I have a blog?

A blog is optional on the four page full website. The landing page does not include one.

Can clients download documents from my site?

Client downloads are supported on the full website. The landing page does not include them.

Do I supply my own domain?

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.

Do I own it?

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.

What if I want something bigger than a four page site?

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.

What does it cost me after the build?

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.

One conversation

Not sure which one fits?

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.
