Case Study
Nest or Invest
The Client
Nest or Invest, a Melbourne-based buyer’s agency, is headed by Ritesh Tandon. Their mission is to provide a personalised, comprehensive, and stress-free home-buying experience for every client.
The Challenge
Nest or Invest approached us with a common but significant issue: their existing website was built on a templated system provided by a mortgage broking lead generation service. This system was not only generic but also heavily relied on proprietary content powered by the service’s backend. This created a number of challenges:
- Vendor Lock-In: The website was tied to a specific hosting provider and system, meaning that moving away from them would cause the site to break.
- Limited Customisation: The templated system was designed primarily for mortgage brokers, not for buyer’s agencies, which led to a disconnect between their actual services and how they were represented online.
- High Monthly Fees: The ongoing fees for this service were significant, adding unnecessary costs without delivering the flexibility Nest or Invest needed.
Despite being based on WordPress, the website’s reliance on the proprietary system meant that any change or migration would result in major technical hurdles. The client needed a solution that would not only address these technical challenges but also align their online presence with their unique offering as a buyer’s agency.
The Opportunity
This challenge presented us with an exciting opportunity: to redesign the website in a way that aligned better with Nest or Invest’s goals and the specific needs of their clients. We proposed a custom-built, bespoke solution that would:
- Align the site’s design with the buyer’s agency’s brand and positioning.
- Improve the user experience, focusing on conversions and trust-building.
- Remove vendor lock-in, providing Nest or Invest with more control over their website and hosting.
The Solution
In just a matter of weeks, we successfully delivered a completely redesigned website that was both visually appealing and functionally robust. The key elements of the solution included:
- Bespoke Design: We moved away from the cookie-cutter template system, designing a unique, custom-built website that perfectly matched the needs of a buyer’s agency. This ensured that potential clients could easily understand the services offered and engage with the content.
- Founder Positioning: Ritesh Tandon, the founder of Nest or Invest, is an expert in his field. We made sure he was placed front and center on the website, positioning him as an authority in the buyer’s agency space. This was crucial for building trust with prospective clients who are looking for reliable, expert guidance in the property market.
- Optimised for Conversions: The website was designed with clear calls-to-action (CTAs) and a streamlined user journey to maximise conversion rates. We placed emphasis on lead generation through well-placed contact forms, guiding visitors toward booking consultations.
- Social Proof: Nest or Invest boasts a 5-star rating on Google Reviews, which is a powerful testament to the quality of their service. We showcased these reviews prominently on the homepage, providing social proof that helped build credibility and trust among new visitors.
- Seamless Hosting & Maintenance: To ensure ongoing site performance and reliability, we provided Nest or Invest with our hosting and WordPress care plan. This included regular updates, backups, and security checks, ensuring that the website remained in top shape.
- No Vendor Lock-In: One of the most important aspects of the redesign was to eliminate vendor lock-in. The new website is fully independent of any third-party proprietary systems, giving Nest or Invest complete control over their website and hosting. Despite offering a flexible, month-to-month hosting plan, they have chosen to continue working with us due to the quality of our services.
The Results
The website redesign was a success, achieving the following outcomes:
- Improved User Experience: The new site is user-friendly, well-organised, and focused on converting visitors into clients.
- Increased Conversions: The optimised structure and strategic placement of CTAs helped increase conversion rates, driving more consultations and engagements from prospective home buyers.
- Brand Authority: By showcasing Ritesh Tandon as the face of the business and positioning Nest or Invest as a leading authority in the buyer’s agency space, the website has helped build credibility and trust.
- Reduced Overhead: With the shift away from the old templated system, Nest or Invest now enjoys lower costs and greater flexibility in managing their website and hosting.
Most importantly, Nest or Invest was able to break free from the restrictive system they had been using, positioning themselves for future growth with a modern, flexible, and scalable website solution.
