Where it started

The starting point

The form was the main contact route for home loan consultations, yet the business had no clear fallback if a submission failed.

The problem

Day to day with home loan consultations, when the form broke, the site went silent in both directions: visitors could not find another route, and staff had no test to notice the failure.

What we built

A published backup method, explanatory errors and chase-up advice now surround the form. Regular checks submit genuine test inquiries covering purchase or refinance goal, property state and callback time and verify arrival.

  • Alternative contact method
  • Useful failure message
  • Form delivery check
  • Staff escalation contact

Timeline

20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.

  1. Day 0

    Content approved

    The client signs off the wording and material. The working days start here.

  2. In between

    Build and staff review

    We build; the client's own staff review the pages and the inquiry path before anything goes live.

  3. Day 20

    Handover

    The work is live and handed over, within 20 working days of content approval.

What changed

For home loan consultations, failure is now inconvenient rather than fatal. Visitors have a second route, staff have a test, and no one is claiming perfection.

In the client's words

“The home loan consultations fallback is published on the page where it belongs, and the delivery check is ours to run. Prepared beats lucky.”

Why is the business not named?

On purpose. The client is described as a portfolio landlord mortgage broker in Akron, Ohio with 13 staff, which is enough to judge whether the situation is close to yours. The quote is published with permission and attributed to Felix Ormsby, client liaison, but we do not publish the business name, its logo or its web address.

Did this project involve rates, approvals or lending advice?

No. The work was about how the website handles inquiries and content. We are not a lender, mortgage broker, loan originator or financial adviser, and nothing on a site we build quotes a rate, states eligibility or implies an approval. The wording on every page, including the route to a conversation with a licensed loan officer, is reviewed and approved by the client.
