What Bejamas does for insurance & financial services
Bejamas is a senior European web team that migrates insurers, brokers, lenders, and payments companies off legacy CMSs onto one modern headless platform — engineered so marketing publishes without developers and compliance signs off inside the workflow, not around it. The work spans the estate audit, the replatform itself, the integrations with quote engines and CRMs, and the operation of the platform after launch.
What makes financial services web estates different
Most agencies treat a financial services website like any other marketing site with extra lawyers. The estates are actually different in kind:
- The website is a trust document. Rates, terms, disclosures, and regulatory wording must be correct on every page, in every market — which is why publishing bottlenecks form: when every change routes through developer tickets, teams stop making changes, and stale compliance content is its own risk.
- Sign-off is part of the workflow. Content moves draft → compliance review → approval → publish. A CMS that can’t model that pushes governance into email threads and screenshots.
- The funnel is wired to core systems. Quote engines, pricing APIs, application flows, CRM — the marketing site is the front door to systems that have their own release cycles and their own security reviews.
- Performance is an acquisition line. Insurance and lending keywords are among the most expensive paid clicks anywhere; a slow landing page raises the cost of every one of them. Speed is margin, not vanity.
- Procurement is real. Vendor assessment, data residency, GDPR, and security questionnaires arrive before the first sprint. A partner who hasn’t been through them will lose the project in legal, not in design.
What we build
- Legacy CMS exits. Off Sitecore, legacy WordPress, or a tangle of product-site CMSs onto one headless platform — with the URL inventory, one-to-one redirect map, and parity QA that keep organic rankings and quote traffic through the cutover.
- Compliant publishing workflows. Roles, review gates, audit trails, and scheduled publishing configured in the CMS, so marketing ships daily and compliance reviews content rather than code.
- Integration with the systems of record. Quote funnels, calculators, CRM, analytics, and consent management connected through APIs — the site moves at marketing speed while core systems keep their own cadence.
- Performance as an engineering budget. Core Web Vitals targets enforced in CI, because in this sector page speed is paid-media efficiency.
The proof is in the work: Bennetts came off Sitecore with three sites consolidated onto one platform and mobile performance up 44%. Camino Financial replatformed onto Next.js and Storyblok — builds 24x faster and marketers publishing without developers. VFX Financial got visual editing and complex financial content made clear; Newfront had its website decoupled from internal apps in a month.
Testimonial
Fantastic project and working experience with Bejamas. The scope was extensive, as you would expect with a multi-site build and launch, and the team took it all in their stride. Communication was excellent; feedback and options for optimisation was forthcoming, all with a high degree of skill and creativity Very highly recommended and we look forward to working Bejamas again on future projects.
How it starts
Every engagement opens with an audit: the estate map, the migration-risk register, and a current-vs-target total-cost-of-ownership model — the evidence a steering group and procurement can approve. From there the migration runs in phases, so the first product site proves the approach before the rest of the estate moves.

Common questions
Can Bejamas migrate an insurance company’s website off a legacy CMS like Sitecore?
Yes — this is documented work. Bejamas moved Bennetts, a UK motorcycle insurance provider, off a legacy Sitecore CMS: three sites consolidated onto one platform built on Next.js and DatoCMS, managed by their team from a single place, with mobile performance up 44%. Every migration ships with a full URL inventory, one-to-one redirects, and parity QA so rankings and quote-funnel traffic survive the cutover.
How do marketing teams publish in a regulated environment without developers?
Bejamas configures the headless CMS around the sector’s real workflow: draft, legal or compliance review, approval, and scheduled publish — with roles and audit trails, so governance lives in the CMS rather than in email threads. Marketers assemble pages from an approved component library; compliance reviews content, not code.
Can the website integrate with quote engines, CRMs, and core financial systems?
Yes. Bejamas builds the marketing platform as a fast front end that talks to the systems of record through APIs — quote and pricing engines, CRM, analytics, and consent tooling — rather than replacing them. The website changes at marketing speed while the core systems keep their own release cycles.
How does Bejamas handle security review and procurement for financial services clients?
Security questionnaires, data-residency requirements, GDPR, and procurement review are treated as part of the engagement, not an obstacle to it. Bejamas is a European team accustomed to working through vendor assessment, and the platform recommendations account for hosting location and compliance requirements from the audit onward.
