Helping people navigate financial decisions with confidence.

Services

Clarity first.
Confidence built in.

Fogwill & Jones needed a website that reflected how they actually work – personal, approachable, and built around people, not services. The existing site delivered information, but not clarity. It was time to simplify, humanise, and create a digital experience that guides users with confidence.

From information-rich to insight-led.

The existing website contained valuable content – but struggled to turn that into action.

Users faced:

  • Complex navigation and too many pages
  • Financial language that felt technical and distant
  • Limited guidance on what services were right for them
  • Low visibility of key services (with only 37% of users scrolling far enough to see them)

 

What did this mean? A disconnect between expertise and experience.

The new site needed to:

  • Simplify journeys and reduce friction
  • Make services easy to understand and relevant
  • Build trust quickly through clarity and tone
  • Shift from “financial services” to “people-first advice”

 

Everything needed to feel intentional.

User-centred. Life-stage led. Experience first.

We approached the redesign through a behavioural lens – understanding not just what users need, but how they think and decide.

Using UX audit insights and journey mapping, we identified two core audiences:

01.
Working professionals looking to build wealth
02.
Pre-retirees seeking clarity and reassurance

Each group arrives with different motivations – but the same need:
confidence in what to do next.

From there, we built a strategy around:

  • Life-stage navigation – helping users quickly identify where they fit
  • Clear, jargon-free messaging – reducing cognitive load
  • Visible pathways to action – making the next step obvious
  • Trust-building cues – credibility, transparency, and human connection

 

The goal wasn’t just usability.
It was reassurance.

01.

A streamlined website architecture

We refocused and restructured the site, creating a clearer, more intuitive navigation system – enabling users to find what they need faster and with less effort.
02.

Life-stage led user journeys

Content and navigation built around real-life triggers – from “starting to invest” to “planning retirement” – helping users self-identify and engage.
03.

Clear, human-centred copy

We shifted the tone from technical to approachable – replacing financial jargon with plain English and focusing on outcomes, not just services.
04.

Improved visual hierarchy & UX

Key services and calls-to-action brought above the fold, ensuring users immediately understand what Fogwill & Jones offer and how to take the next step.

05.

Enhanced interaction & conversion design

Simplified forms, clearer CTAs, and more personalised touchpoints — reducing friction and increasing engagement.

Clarity drives action.

Within weeks of launch, Fogwill & Jones saw a measurable increase in qualified leads – a clear signal that the experience is not only attracting attention, but converting it.

This uplift reflects more than performance; it demonstrates a user journey that now works with, rather than against, how people make decisions. By simplifying pathways, surfacing the right information at the right time, and removing unnecessary friction, users are able to move forward with greater ease and confidence.

The result is a digital experience that builds trust earlier, supports better decisions, and turns intent into meaningful action.

What we did.

  • UX audit & journey mapping
  • Website architecture & sitemap design
  • User-centred web design
  • Copywriting & tone of voice development
  • Conversion-focused UX improvements

Why it worked.

Because it aligned with how people actually make decisions.

Financial decisions are rarely just logical – they’re emotional, often uncertain, and deeply personal.

By reducing complexity and increasing clarity, the new experience builds trust earlier, removes barriers to action and helps users feel understood – not overwhelmed

Clear journeys.
Relevant content.
Confidence at every step.

Change is difficult. We make it possible.
