Your customers
How people actually choose a mortgage broker.
Mortgage customers come with a life event and a deadline: a first home, a remortgage because a fixed rate is ending, a move, a buy-to-let, or a complicated situation such as self-employment, a recent credit problem or a later-life borrower. Many are anxious, and many have already been declined or confused by a lender’s website. They search for "mortgage adviser" plus a town, or for their specific situation - "mortgage for self-employed", "first-time buyer mortgage adviser". Estate agents and solicitors refer heavily, so a large share of visitors are checking that the name they were given is credible. Before they call, they want to know whether you are whole of market or work from a panel, whether you charge a fee and when, and whether they can talk in the evening or by video.
When demand peaks. The housing market tends to be busiest in spring and early autumn. Remortgage demand follows when large batches of fixed-rate deals end, and base rate decisions produce bursts of enquiries.
The problem
What most mortgage brokers websites get wrong.
Mortgage broker websites sit under the FCA’s rules on financial promotions, which require communications to be fair, clear and not misleading, and they are usually signed off by the firm’s compliance function or, for appointed representatives, by the network. That combination tends to produce sites that are so cautious they say nothing, or so generic they are indistinguishable from a thousand network templates. The useful middle is specific and honest: who you help, how the process works, how and when you are paid, your FCA status, and the risk warnings firms display (commonly "Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage"). The site should not quote rates or promise approvals, and any comparison or calculator needs care. Being plain about situations - self-employed, contractors, credit issues - is what makes a small brokerage findable.

Concept build
What a mortgage broker website could look like.
Penrose is designed like a finance app's launch page rather than a practice brochure. A light, ledger-grey hero with a faint grid carries one line in light Urbanist: 'Monthly fees, published', with the last word in Newsreader italic. Below it, a rounded window holds a Blender coin (silver rim, navy enamel, a raised pound sign), and six small dashboard cards float loosely round it: the fixed £95 fee with twelve identical monthly bars, £0.00 hourly billing, filings ticked off, the next deadline, the switching handover with the client manager's photo, and HMRC authorisation received.

Questions
Mortgage Brokers: what people ask us
Does my mortgage broker website count as a financial promotion?
Yes, a mortgage broker’s website is generally treated as a financial promotion under FCA rules, so it must be fair, clear and not misleading. That affects how you describe rates, fees and outcomes, and which risk warnings you display. We build the site to be easy to review, but your compliance function or network is responsible for approving the content.
I am an appointed representative. Does my network need to approve my website?
Most networks require appointed representatives to have website content approved before it goes live, and to approve later changes too. Check your network’s own process and allow time for it in the launch plan. We can supply the content in a format that makes review straightforward.
What can we legally claim on a healthcare or legal website?
Less than most people assume. Advertising rules restrict claims about outcomes, and professional regulators add their own requirements on price transparency and registration details. We build to those constraints rather than around them, and we will tell you if something you want to say is likely to cause a problem.
How do I look established without exaggerating?
Name your people, show your qualifications and registrations, be specific about who you work with, and publish something that demonstrates you know what you are talking about. Vague claims about excellence read as filler; specifics read as competence.
