For Forex Brokers: Landing Page or Corporate Website? Tips from UTIP

Short answer: Landing page is a good solution for companies that seek to quickly get started with forex business being on a tight budget. A corporate website is mainly suitable for large forex brokerage businesses.

Landing page costs 2 or 3 times cheaper than the website development. However, traders trust a large premium-designed brokerage profile to a much greater degree.

My name is Alexander Shvorak, and I've been dealing with the website development in the UTIP Technologies Ltd. over 5 years. In the present article, I will elaborate on lucrative website ideas to be chosen for forex broker.

Plus points Landing pages contain the most important information for traders:

— a list of symbols ("what will I trade?”);
— analytics ("what events should I keep up with to trade?”);
— contacts ("I can't open an account, who will help me?”);
— broker's documents ("you can trust a broker with a license!”).

Landing page serves as a mini-supermarket where the information about brokerage company and tools made to facilitate trading activities, are available to the trader. Keeping the content on each mini-section short and precise provides valuable insights to the client.

One page presents information about the broker, trading conditions and the platform itself by making it easier to achieve forex business goals via landing. As an example, to register trading account and scrape contact details of potential customers.

This is how the list of account types in the landing page looks like, i.e. a minimalist design, the website visitor clicks "Open an account" and goes to the Trader's Room to register and open an account:

Forex landing page development costs from $1500 to $3500 and takes from a few days to a month.

Shortcomings of Landing page:

1. The landing page is limited by the content volume. It contains detailed information about the brokerage firm and its trading opportunities.
2. The landing page is of a limited functionality and is mainly created for the sole purpose: account registration or collection of contacts. Therefore, it gives away the bit of information about trading, i.e. about company news, a tutorial blog or section for traders.
3. Due to content limitations the landing page is quite difficult to promote in search engines.

Plus points A multi-page website helps to form a broker's brand on the Net. On the one hand, the corporate website development is money-and-time-consuming. On the other hand, it attracts more attention of tradersbecause of cutting-edge functionality and more detailed information about the brokerage company.

The website provides a full content, so that the broker acquires the opportunity to set a high-quality infographic: for example, sharing the company's achievements in the Forex market. All in all, it fortifies the brand credibility.

Visual appeal of the large websites ensures the stability and reliability from the online users’ end. They rely on the companies with a full-fledged website.

The multi-page forex website contains advanced trading analytics that makes the website visitors confide in the brokerage expertise, and distinguish it from usual trading resource.

The corporate website can serve as a launching ground for placing the following sections: market news, analyst forecasts, the current market state and tutorials.

Summary

The choice between a corporate website and a landing page depends on the specific aims and budget that the brokerage company have. Large websites are always created for a long run.
