Professional Mortgage Investment

A Sydney mortgage and finance brokerage — first-home buyers, investors, refinancers, and commercial borrowers. The old WordPress site no longer reflected the quality of the advice. The brief: a fast, modern site that helps the right people find PMI, shows them what's possible before they call, and gives every kind of borrower a clear path to a conversation.

The brief

Where it was, what it needed.

Where it was

What it needed

A dated WordPress site that no longer reflected the quality of the advice
A modern, fast site built to win the right enquiries
Slow to load, especially on a phone
Loads quickly on a phone — where first-home buyers do their late-night research
Nothing to help a visitor work out what they could actually borrow
Borrowing-power and repayment calculators that turn a browse into an enquiry
One-size-fits-all — no clear path for first-home buyers, investors, or refinancers
Separate, clear paths for each kind of client PMI helps
Key pages buried or missing
Credit Guide, privacy, and complaints pages built into the navigation

What we built

A site shaped for the right enquiry, not just a prettier page.

  • 01A first-home-buyer-led homepage with separate, clearly-signposted paths for first-home buyers, investors, refinancers, and commercial borrowers
  • 02Borrowing-power and repayment calculators — a visitor can see what's possible before they pick up the phone, so the ones who call are already warm
  • 03A consultation path — enquiries and bookings land straight with the broker, not in a generic shared inbox
  • 04Mobile-first design — most first-home buyers are researching on a phone, often after hours
  • 05Static-first rendering, hosted on Vercel — every page pre-rendered, fast to load, nothing to fall over
  • 06Credit Guide, Privacy Policy, and complaints pages wired into the site structure from day one
  • 07Real, indexable content per segment, so Google understands what PMI does and who for
  • 08A calm, distinct visual identity — nothing that looks like an off-the-shelf template

Proof

Built to win the right enquiry.

Fast on the phone they're searching from.

Most first-home buyers research late, on mobile. The site loads quickly and doesn't jump around while it does.

Calculators that warm the lead before they call.

A visitor can see their borrowing power or repayments before they pick up the phone — so the ones who do call are already halfway there.

Borrowing-power + repayment calculators

A clear path for every kind of borrower.

First-home buyers, investors, refinancers, and commercial borrowers each get their own page and their own pitch — instead of one generic site trying to do all four.

A dedicated page per borrower segment

Outcomes — 90 days in

Numbers when they're real, not before.

We commit numbers to print only after the data is real — enquiries, calculator completions, and search rank for the segments PMI competes in.

This section updates around late August 2026 — 90 days after launch.

In their words

Smart Labs was referred by a client of mine and Mark has built my website in a timely manner. It wasn't just about making my site look better but also it was built to help the right people to find me and assess their borrowing capacity. Mark explained everything in plain English and took the time to understand how I work. I come away with something I am proud to present to my client.
