Carey was referred to CyberCletch by his web host after his old site was hacked. During discovery, we identified the key challenges: an outdated design, slow performance, and a lack of security protocols. Our recommendation was a complete redesign with a focus on speed, security, and trust-building design elements. Carey chose to work with us because of our expertise in both web security and design.
Financial Advisor Website Redesign Before & After
Before:
The original website was outdated, slow, and vulnerable. A locally hosted video slowed down the home page, fonts were small and difficult to read, and the blog lacked engaging visuals. Most critically, the site had been hacked, raising concerns about security and client trust.
After:
We redesigned the site with speed, security, and trust at the core. Improvements included:
- Replacing the video with static imagery to improve load times.
- Adding larger, more readable fonts and a cleaner newsletter interface.
- Setting up a blog archive with bright, compelling images to encourage clicks.
- Redesigning bio pages to make employees approachable and easy to contact.
- Adding client reviews to build credibility.
- Designing a new professional logo that Carey could use long-term, even if he sold the business in the future.
The result was a faster, safer, and more professional site that better represented his business.

Case Summary
Overview:
Website security is a top concern for financial advisors. Even when not collecting sensitive financial data, a breach can damage reputation and client trust. That’s why non-corporate advisor websites—which often host newsletters and blogs to differentiate advisors from peers—must still be secure and professional.
