Case study · HELOC.help

Home equity, minus the jargon.
Plain English wins.

HELOC.help is the personal brand site for Andrea Figliolini, a Florida HELOC specialist with 13+ years in the business. I built it to explain home equity like a friend would, then make the next step dead simple.

The problem

Mortgage sites love jargon. Homeowners don't.

Most lending sites read like a contract. Homeowners just want to know three things: how much can I get, what can I use it for, and how long will it take.

So the whole site is built around answering those questions in plain words, with a personal advisor's face on it instead of a faceless bank.

“If a homeowner has to Google a word on your site, the site lost. Plain English is a design decision.”

What it is, in one line: a Florida HELOC specialist's personal brand site with an equity estimator, a simple process and straight answers.

HELOC Help: The estimator
The estimator

Slide it around, see your equity.

An interactive equity estimator lets homeowners drag sliders to get a feel for their available equity. It's the first thing people want to know, so it gets prime real estate.

No forms to unlock it and no email gate. Just play with the numbers.

Navy and gold, on purpose

Deep navy says trust, a soft gold says premium, and Cormorant Garamond headlines give it a private-banking feel without the private-banking attitude.

HELOC Help: The process
The process

Four steps, no runaround.

The process is laid out in four plain steps: answer a few simple questions, talk through your options with Andrea, get a decision, then get funded. The site says it the way she would.

Ten use cases, from kitchen remodels and debt consolidation to a coastal second home, help homeowners picture what the money could do.

HELOC Help: The answers
The answers

The questions everyone asks, answered first.

A FAQ tackles credit scores, how much equity you need, how much you can borrow, HELOC versus cash-out refinance, and whether checking options affects your credit. Each answer leads with the answer.

A blog backs it up with deeper reads for people who like to do their homework.

  • Answer-first FAQ
  • HELOC vs. cash-out refi
  • Blog with deeper guides
  • NMLS info in the footer
On your phone

Check your equity from the couch.

The estimator sliders are built for thumbs, the process steps stack into a quick read, and the FAQ opens one question at a time.

It's the kind of research people do at night on their phone, so that's where it has to shine.
