Website Design For Financial Advisors: Strategy #3 – Lead With Clear Calls to Action (CTAs)
Every visitor to your website is a potential client, but without a clear next step, most will leave without contacting you. Strategy #3 is all about mastering call-to-action (CTA) design—the secret ingredient that turns casual website visitors into booked appointments.
In the financial services industry, CTAs are especially powerful because many potential clients are hesitant or uncertain about taking the first step. Your CTAs must be more than just buttons—they need to feel like a low-risk, high-value opportunity to engage with you.
Make the Action Feel Effortless and Valuable
Instead of using generic buttons like “Contact Us” or “Submit,” reframe your CTAs to highlight the benefit of clicking. Examples include:
These CTAs emphasize what’s in it for the user. They're action-driven, personalized, and signal that you're offering value right away. In a field where trust is crucial, this subtle shift makes a big difference.
Place CTAs Strategically Throughout the Website
Too many advisors only include a CTA at the bottom of the page or on a contact form. But website visitors don’t always scroll that far. Instead, place your CTAs:
This ensures users always have a next step—no matter where they are in their buyer’s journey. They may not be ready to hire you, but they might schedule a discovery call or download your free guide.
Use Contrast and White Space to Make CTAs Pop
Even the best CTA text won’t convert if it blends in with the background. Make your buttons stand out with bold colors that contrast your site’s theme, and surround them with white space to draw attention.
If your site uses blue and gray tones, try a deep orange or vibrant green for your CTA buttons. And make sure they’re mobile-friendly—your CTA should be easy to tap, read, and click on any device.
Offer Multiple Entry Points: Not Just “Book Now”
Not everyone is ready to commit on their first visit. That’s why smart CTAs offer different levels of engagement, such as:
By giving visitors several low-commitment ways to interact with you, you keep them in your orbit until they’re ready for a full consultation.
Test, Track, and Optimize CTA Performance
Even small tweaks can lead to massive gains. Use website analytics to monitor which CTAs get the most clicks and conversions. A/B test different button text, colors, or placements. For example:
This data-driven approach ensures your website is always evolving and improving—just like your financial strategies.
Your CTAs are your silent sales team—guiding visitors toward action, even when you're off the clock. If you want a website that does more than just look good—one that actually drives leads—you need expert CTA design built in from the start.

Place CTAs Strategically Throughout the Website

- In the middle of your “About” page
- On all blog posts and case studies
This ensures users always have a next step—no matter where they are in their buyer’s journey. They may not be ready to hire you, but they might schedule a discovery call or download your free guide.
