Draft plan for Alder & Finch Estate Planning
A website that books consultations, with an intake that does the paperwork first
New clients book online, answer the family and asset questions at home, and arrive at the first meeting ready to plan. Every matter sits on one private board the partners share.

What changes for you
New clients play phone tag to book a consult
They book online in under a minute, on a partner's real calendar
The first meeting is spent gathering basics
The questionnaire is done beforehand, so the meeting is about the plan
Matters live in inboxes and sticky notes
Every matter sits on one board, with what's next and who has it
Pick a direction
Early homepage mockups, desktop and phone. Flip between them and react to each. The favorite gets refined on a private preview link; you can also mix and match.
Quiet confidence
Cream paper, deep evergreen and a classic serif under an arched window. Calm and trustworthy, the way a family's estate plan should feel. Reads well for older clients.
How it works, on a phone
The moments that matter most, drawn the way your customers and team will see them.

Anything on the current site that has to carry over?
Ideas for later
Not part of this plan and not priced. Just tell us which sound useful, and we'll revisit them once things are running.

Signing-day reminders
Reminders and a checklist before signing, then a funding checklist after

All set?
