Abaco Insurance Agency, rebuilt from the server up.

The agency has served Abaco since 1985 and needed more than a new look. We secured its hosting, built a new website and moved forms, signatures, payments and client emails online, so clients can do business with the agency from anywhere.

The brief

More than a new website.

Abaco Insurance Agency has looked after homes, vehicles, boats and businesses in Marsh Harbour since 1985. The agency wanted a modern website, but the bigger goal was to let clients handle quotes, claims, paperwork and payments online, and to give the team systems that cut down on manual admin.

What the agency needed

  • A secure, stable home for the website
  • A modern site clients can use on any device
  • Forms clients can complete and sign online
  • A secure way to pay premiums through the agency’s bank
  • Client emails and follow-ups that send themselves
  • A quick way for clients to reach the team

We delivered all of it, starting with security.

What we did

Security first. Then everything else.

We secured the foundations before building anything new, then layered the website, systems and marketing on top, all delivered by one team.

  1. 01

    Secured the foundations

    We worked at server level to secure the agency’s existing setup, and put a strict security deployment framework in place for everything that followed.

  2. 02

    Moved to secure hosting

    The website moved to a hardened VPS, with its traffic and DNS running through Cloudflare for protection and speed.

  3. 03

    Built a new website

    A fast, mobile-first site for home, motor, marine, business and liability cover, with claims, storm damage reporting, news and a forms library.

  4. 04

    Took paperwork online

    Physical forms became digital forms with online signatures, routed through a team directory so each one reaches the right person.

  5. 05

    Built the payment portal

    Custom software takes clients from their policy details to Fidelity’s secure hosted payment page, with a receipt emailed after payment.

  6. 06

    Automated client emails

    CRM flows send confirmations and follow-ups and handle online signing, so the team spends less time chasing paperwork.

  7. 07

    Made them easy to find and reach

    SEO and GEO help Google and AI assistants understand the agency, and live chat puts clients straight through to the team.

Inside the build

The systems behind the website.

Digital forms & e-signatures

Every form, completed and signed online.

Quote requests, claims, storm and hurricane damage reports, complaints and payment authorisations all live online. Clients sign digitally, and every submission is routed to the right person through the team directory.

Payment portal

Premiums paid online, through the agency’s bank.

Custom software guides clients through confirming their policy details, then hands them to Fidelity’s secure hosted payment page to pay by card, with a receipt emailed after payment. It’s built around the agency’s own process, not a generic checkout.
