New mixed-use development



PROBLEM
The mortgage broker flow demanded everything upfront — a long application, documents, and no sense of whether approval was even likely. Users dropped off before reaching the product's core value.



DECISIONS
  • Shortened the entry to goal and key parameters
  • Deferred documents until they became relevant 
  • Surfaced a preliminary result early 
  • Made application status and next steps always visible

OUTCOME
+19% engagement, −14% bounce — more users completed the flow and reached a decision.


INSIGHT
In a high-stakes financial flow, every question asked too early costs trust — and conversion.
