The forex industry often suffers from a reputation for complex jargon, uninviting design, and a lack of personal touch – like any numbers industry it can be a bit dry.
For startup Rayt FX, breaking away from these conventions was essential – the directors wanted to reflect their expertise and experience, but also their personalities; personable, friendly, approachable.
General Manager at Graphic Detail, Ross Blakely, says the agency worked closely with directors Jay Shankar and Harry Arora to create both a name, a brand and a website presence that was not only professional and functional, but genuinely welcoming, persuasive, and reflective of their brand values.
“Harry and Jay needed a website that projected trustworthiness, transparency, and approachability while appealing to businesses of all sizes,” says Ross.
The goal was to reflect senior leadership expertise and deliver a friendly tone that steered clear of the dense jargon that often alienates users in their industry.
“When people visit our site, we want them to feel invited, informed, and assured that we’re a trustworthy partner—not just another service provider,” says Jay. “We’re here to help businesses of any size with the same care and attention.”
A key element of the project was ensuring that the website’s content was clear, approachable, and reflective of Rayt FX’s brand values.
Graphic Detail engaged Colin Kennedy from Iron Road Communications as the copywriter to communicate the company’s friendliness and expert advice while making sure the copy was simple and easy to understand. This approach made the website accessible to a wide audience, regardless of their familiarity with the forex industry.
“The language used to describe us and our features is one of the things we’re most pleased with,” says Jay. “It’s clear, effective, and gets straight to the point while still feeling approachable.”
This focus on straightforward, transparent messaging complemented Graphic Detail’s design, creating a cohesive experience that balances professionalism with a welcoming tone.
Graphic Detail ensured the site’s layout and navigation worked seamlessly with the content, reinforcing the core values of trust and accessibility. The clean design made it easy for visitors to find key information, while the copy highlighted Rayt FX’s unique position as a business committed to supporting companies of all sizes.
“The combination of the layout and the language has already brought us results,” Jay adds. “We couldn’t have asked for more.”
The final product has been a success, with positive feedback from both stakeholders and customers.
The website effectively communicates Rayt FX’s value proposition, positioning them as a reliable partner in the forex space. “It’s efficient, effective, and approachable,” says Jay.
“We’ve even had clients ask about the people behind the website because of how impressed they were.”
