FCA Compliant Website Design for Regulated Firms

If you are regulated by the FCA, your website is not just marketing. It is a financial promotion, so it has to be clear, fair and not misleading, and it has to carry the right disclosures in the right places. Most web designers can make a site look good. Very few know what an appointed representative has to say about their principal firm, where the repossession warning belongs, or why a compliance team will send back a page that promises the “best rates”. Page Forge builds FCA-compliant websites for mortgage brokers, financial advisers and insurance brokers, with every required disclosure built in and written in plain English.

We have done it for real. Clermont Mortgage Solutions, an independent mortgage broker in Essex, came to us because they needed a website that followed the FCA’s rules. The finished site covers regulatory status, risk warnings, fee and commission disclosure, equity release warnings, complaints and the Financial Ombudsman Service, and it was reviewed and approved by the principal firm’s compliance team. We work the same way for every regulated client: we build to your network’s process, word your regulatory status exactly as your principal requires, and turn compliance edits around quickly.

One honest point: no web developer can guarantee a website is FCA compliant, and you should be wary of any who claims to. The FCA does not approve or certify websites, and responsibility for your promotions stays with your firm or your principal. What we do is build every disclosure in, keep the copy balanced and supportable, and make the site simple for your compliance team to review. It also needs to work as a website: fast on a phone, easy to contact you from, and set up with structured data so Google and AI assistants can understand exactly what you do. One page is £99 to set up and £29 a month, with larger firms quoted individually.

What It Needs

What your website needs to bring in work

verified_user

Regulatory status, worded correctly

Who is authorised and regulated, your firm reference number, and a link to the FCA Register so clients can check you. If you are an appointed representative, we name your principal firm and its details exactly as they require. Your company name, number and registered office go in too, because company law expects them on a business website.

warning

The right risk warnings, in the right place

The mortgage repossession warning, buy to let wording, equity release warnings about the estate and means-tested benefits, and investment warnings that values can fall as well as rise. Each sits next to the service it relates to and again in the footer, so it is visible without burying the page in small print.

payments

Clear fees and how you are paid

Whether you charge a fee, earn commission or both, the site explains it plainly, before a client commits. Clear remuneration disclosure is a regulatory expectation, and it is also one of the first things a cautious client wants to know, so it earns trust as well as ticking a box.

gavel

Complaints, the Ombudsman and privacy

How to complain, a link to the Financial Ombudsman Service, and a proper privacy notice for the personal and financial details your enquiry form collects. These are the pages compliance teams check for first, and the ones generic templates most often leave out.

menu_book

Fair, balanced, readable copy

No guaranteed rates, no pressure, no claims you cannot back up, and risks described alongside benefits. The FCA’s Consumer Duty expects communication clients can actually understand, so we write in plain English and put each disclosure where it is relevant rather than piling it into one block.

fact_check

Built for your compliance review

We work to your network or principal firm’s approval process, make the changes their compliance team asks for, and turn edits round quickly. When the rules change, a fee changes or a new disclosure is needed, you tell us and we update the site. You never have to log in and edit regulated wording yourself.

FAQ

Common questions

What makes a website FCA compliant?

For a regulated firm, the website is a financial promotion, so it must be clear, fair and not misleading. In practice that means stating your regulatory status correctly, including your principal firm if you are an appointed representative, showing the risk warnings that apply to your services, explaining how you are paid, setting out how to complain and how to reach the Financial Ombudsman Service, and avoiding claims you cannot support. The exact list depends on what you advise on, which is why we build around your services and your compliance team’s requirements.

Can you guarantee my website will be FCA compliant?

No, and no web developer honestly can. The FCA does not approve or certify websites, and responsibility for your financial promotions stays with your firm, or your principal firm if you are an appointed representative. What we commit to is building in the disclosures your services need, writing balanced copy, and making the changes your compliance team asks for. Our Clermont Mortgage Solutions site went through its principal firm’s compliance review and was approved.

I am an appointed representative. Can you work with my principal firm?

Yes. Many advisers are appointed representatives whose promotions need principal approval, and our Clermont Mortgage Solutions site went through exactly that process. We word your regulatory status and your relationship with your principal exactly as they require, fit into their review process, and turn their requested edits round quickly, so approval does not drag on for weeks.

Which regulated firms do you build websites for?

Mortgage brokers and advisers, independent financial advisers and financial planners, protection specialists, equity release advisers and insurance brokers. The disclosures differ between them, so we build each site around what that firm actually advises on rather than using one generic template. See our pages for mortgage advisers, financial advisers and insurance brokers.

Can you fix the compliance on my existing website?

Usually the cleanest route is to rebuild it on our platform with the disclosures done properly from the start, then move your domain across. We can check your current site against the disclosures regulated firms commonly need and show you what is missing, but your compliance team always makes the final call on what your promotions must say.

How much does an FCA-compliant website cost?

A one-page site is £99 to set up and £29 a month, or £299 a year, including your domain, hosting, SSL, the writing and updates. Firms that need separate pages for each service, several advisers or a larger build are quoted individually. Compliance edits during the build are included, and later changes to a fee or a warning are covered by the content updates in your plan.
