Adviser Select

New website delivers searchable directory of independent financial advisers

Following the success of a previous web development project for Wealth Manager, Saltus, the client commissioned Naked Creativity to develop a website for a new business they had acquired. The new website, called Adviser Select, offered a directory of Financial Advisers across the country.

The acquisition included all existing data, but a new brand and visual representation was required for the website. Naked’s designers worked to develop the initial visual framework for the replacement site, presenting Adviser Select as a professional, trustworthy resource. The user experience of the website was a key part of the development and the team carefully considered this to design a site that was simple to navigate, user-friendly and intuitive, as well as being fully responsive to the device it was being viewed on; whether a mobile, desktop or other device.

Visually, the website looked professional and dynamic with a series of moving circles forming an animated banner. These circles moved in and out of focus, playing on the idea of a search light to find an Adviser. The use of contemporary colours and a modern typeface completed the clean image.

“Following our acquisition of Abacus Associates, Naked Creativity rebuilt the Adviser Select directory website for us. It was a painless and enjoyable process. The team has a practical, problem solving mindset and was very focused on completing the project to a high standard very quickly. It was a pleasure working with the guys and we are delighted with the outcome.”

The new website was centred around a directory of Financial Advisers. This needed to be searchable by postcode to provide a list of the closest Advisers, sorted by distance in miles and their location. Once an Adviser was chosen, the user was taken to a separate page which included a personal introduction from the Adviser and details of the services they offered, as well as a contact form.

Naked’s technical team used Wordpress as the platform for the directory, and supported the client by installing and configuring the system on a server. With security in mind, the team set the system up to resist common Wordpress admin attacks. Speed and efficiency were also optimised by the team with the use of Cloudflare to cache web content, which brought improved performance and resilience.

Having partnered with Saltus for their initial web development, followed by an ongoing retainer for support work, Naked Creativity is delighted to have delivered another successful website and looks forward to their continuing relationship with the addition of Adviser Select.
