A design agency can’t afford a dated website.

Finace makes campaigns, explainers and digital journeys for 70+ financial brands. Their own website hadn’t changed in ten years, and prospects noticed. We rebuilt it from ideation to live in 10 days.

Since the last redesign
(01) The problem

Great work. A website that said otherwise.

Finace’s portfolio was current: NFO launches, investor explainers, distributor kits for India’s biggest AMCs. Their website was not. It hadn’t been updated in ten years.

For a design agency, the website is the first piece of work a client sees. A dated one makes prospects doubt everything else before a deck is ever opened. Clients weren’t trusting the work, because an agency can’t have a badly designed website.

Goal 01

Earn trust in the first scroll. Look like the work Finace actually ships today.

Goal 02

Explain the difference. Finance-first communication, not a generic marketing agency.

Goal 03

Prove it. Services, process, 70+ brands and real client voices.

Goal 04

Make starting easy. A brief that takes taps, not a blank contact form.

(02) Research & user journey

Designed around what the visitor is thinking.

We started with basic research, then mapped the six stages a marketing head at an AMC goes through before briefing an agency. Every section of the new site exists to answer one of them.

“Our finance story is complicated. Maybe our communication is the problem.”What the visitor should be thinking at this stage
Sections that answer it
  • Hero
  • Why communication matters
  • The complexity of finance

The hero names the problem in one line, while a live conveyor of factsheets, NFO kits and explainers turns into campaigns.

(03) The new finace.co

Built to look like the work they ship.

Mobile

Every section rebuilt for the phone, not shrunk onto it.

Plenty of prospects first open the link on a phone. The conveyor, service deck and brief builder all work with a thumb.
