For over 15 years, Life Insurance Canada has been a trusted advisor for Canadians seeking reliable life insurance coverage. As one of Canada’s leading brokers, their platform provides a wealth of resources, expert advice, and online quoting tools. Recognizing the need to modernize their digital presence, Life Insurance Canada partnered with Xfive to redesign their website and introduce a seamless insurance calculator.

The result? A user-friendly website that simplifies the application process for clients and enhances efficiency on the administrative side.

A Modern Approach to Life Insurance in Canada

Life Insurance Canada was one of the first platforms in the country to offer online quoting. However, as user expectations evolved, their website required a redesign to stay competitive. The primary goals were:

  • Enhancing the user experience (UX) by simplifying the quoting process.
  • Optimizing Information Architecture (IA) to make insurance options clear and accessible.
  • Integrating powerful tools like COMPULIFE, DocuSign, Infusionsoft, and G Suite to automate and streamline operations.

Building a Better Insurance Platform from the Ground Up

At Xfive, we believe successful websites start with strong foundations. For Life Insurance Canada, we developed a comprehensive plan to meet their needs:

1. Wireframes and Information Architecture

Our journey began with wireframes that outlined the website’s structure and content flow. By prioritizing Information Architecture (IA), we identified key areas for improvement. This process helped ensure users could easily navigate the site and find the information they needed without confusion.

2. Custom WordPress Development

Using the insights from the IA phase, our team built a custom WordPress website. Life Insurance Canada provided us with their design vision, but they also trusted us to refine it for greater clarity and usability.

3. Advanced Integrations for Efficiency

To streamline the quoting and application process, we integrated several powerful tools:

  • COMPULIFE: A robust quoting engine for life insurance.
  • DocuSign: To facilitate secure and convenient e-signatures.
  • Infusionsoft: For seamless customer relationship management (CRM).
  • G Suite: For enhanced collaboration and document management.

These integrations automated many backend processes, saving time and reducing manual effort for the Life Insurance Canada team.

Creating an Intuitive Insurance Calculator

A key feature of the redesigned website is the insurance calculator, a tool that allows users to receive personalized quotes in minutes. Our team focused on ensuring the calculator was:

  • Responsive: Fully functional across all devices, including mobile and tablets.
  • Intuitive: Designed with clear prompts and an easy-to-follow process.
  • Accurate: Leveraging the COMPULIFE integration to deliver precise results.

The calculator simplifies the complex process of obtaining life insurance quotes, making it accessible for users of all backgrounds.

Delivering a Clear and User-Friendly Experience

The redesigned website balances functionality with modern aesthetics. Our focus was on creating a platform that:

1. Highlights the Benefits of Life Insurance

Through clean, high-contrast visuals and straightforward messaging, the website emphasizes the importance of life insurance. Users can quickly understand the value of coverage and explore their options without feeling overwhelmed.

2. Simplifies Navigation

Clear menus and content hierarchies ensure users can find what they’re looking for with minimal effort. Whether they want to learn about policy types or use the insurance calculator, the path is simple and intuitive.

3. Enhances Accessibility

The responsive design ensures the website performs flawlessly across all devices. High-contrast text and visuals make the platform accessible to a diverse range of users, including those with visual impairments.

4. Speeds Up the Application Process

With the integrated quoting tool and DocuSign functionality, users can complete their insurance applications faster than ever before. This streamlined experience benefits both customers and the Life Insurance Canada team.

The collaboration between Life Insurance Canada and Xfive resulted in a modern, intuitive website that exceeds user expectations. The client praised the platform’s:

  • Efficiency: Administrative tasks are now automated, saving time and resources.
