The brief.
S3 Mortgages is a mortgage brokerage based in Surrey, in the Fraser Valley, serving clients across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Its customers include first-time buyers, families moving up, homeowners refinancing, people building a home and investors buying commercial property.
A mortgage is one of the largest financial decisions most people ever make, and many visitors arrive unsure of what they qualify for. S3 Mortgages needed a website that feels calm and trustworthy, explains its range of mortgages without jargon and makes it clear that one team can help, whether someone is buying a first home, refinancing or financing a commercial property.
Visitors need to feel they are in experienced hands before they share anything personal. They want to see what the brokerage offers, read what past clients say, put faces to the team and get a rough idea of their monthly payment. Then they need one simple next step, which is a short appointment with a lending specialist at a time that suits them.
The project aimed to make the website the brokerage's front desk. Booking had to be available from every page, and the phone number and email had to be visible at all times. Helpful material such as the podcast and the calculator had to give people a reason to visit before they are ready to apply, and a reason to come back afterwards.
What we built.
A calm, clear design
Clean layouts, generous spacing and plain headings let visitors take in a complicated subject one piece at a time. The lenders the brokerage works with and its years of experience appear early to build confidence.
Booking on every page
A Schedule Now button in the main menu and Book An Appointment buttons throughout each page open a calendar where visitors pick a 30-minute slot. Nobody has to wait for office hours to get started.
Four mortgages, explained
Residential, commercial, construction and private mortgages each get a short description and four key points. Refinancing and other loan options are covered too, so visitors can see where they fit.
A payment calculator
Visitors enter a purchase price, down payment, interest rate and amortization period, then choose monthly, every two weeks or weekly payments. It gives them a realistic starting point before they speak to a broker.
Reviews and real people
Google reviews from past clients appear on the homepage and the services page, with a button that invites clients to leave one of their own. The about page introduces the founder and the full team of brokers.
A podcast and a social feed
A podcast page shares video episodes and short clips about the Canadian mortgage and real estate market, with links to watch and listen in full. The contact page shows the latest Instagram posts, which keeps the site feeling current.

- A section of common questions on the services page answers what brokers are asked most often.
- The contact page lists office hours, a toll-free number and the Surrey office address beside a short message form.
- Near the top of the homepage, the site presents the brokerage's more than 10 years of experience and the more than 1,000 families it says it has helped.
