Insurance carriers

Websites for insurance carriers.

After a storm, policyholders go straight to your site for the claims number, and agents use it every day to find forms and the right state pages. We keep the claims pages fast through those spikes, keep the agent finder and the quote flow working, and keep policy details in the systems built to hold them.

What we look after

What an insurance carrier website has to do.

Hold up when claims spike

A hailstorm or a hurricane brings policyholders to the claims page at once. We cache it, keep the claims phone number at the top, and can put Cloudflare in front for the rush.

Find a local agent

The agent finder searches your agent list by ZIP code. We keep it fed from the list or the feed your systems produce, and test it when the list changes.

Start a quote

Quotes run on your rating platform or quoting tool. We link or embed it from the product pages and check that the hand-off keeps working.

Show what is sold where

Products and forms differ by state. Each state shows the right products and forms, and changes go out on the date your filings take effect.

Give agents what they need

Agents come for forms, underwriting guides and the agent portal. We keep the document library organized and the portal link easy to find.

Keep policy details off the site

Policy numbers, claim details and medical information belong in your claims and policy systems. The website's own forms collect contact details and send people to those systems for the rest.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The claims page slowed to a crawl the morning after a hailstorm, when policyholders needed it most.
  • The agent finder still lists agents who left two years ago.
  • A product was withdrawn in one state, and the page kept offering quotes there.
  • Every page change needs sign-off from marketing, legal and the product team, and the web vendor has no staging site to show them.
A note from Ryan

The morning after a storm

With an insurer, I start by testing what the claims page does when a lot of people open it at once, the way they do after a storm. Then I search the agent finder with a few ZIP codes and look for agents who have left, since an out-of-date agent list is easy to miss from inside the company.

Will your claims page hold up after the next storm?

Send us the site and we'll look at the claims pages, the agent finder and how they handle a rush, then write back with what we'd change.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes, with the claims pages set up for it. We cache the pages policyholders open after a storm, keep them small enough to load on a weak phone signal and can put Cloudflare in front. If you see a big event coming, tell us and we'll check the server has room for the parts that can't be cached, like the agent finder and claim forms that start on the site.

Yes. Visitors pick their state, and they see the products, forms and notices for that state. When a filing changes, send us the date and the change goes out that day.

No, and we don't sign BAAs. Health details, claim information and anything else covered by privacy rules stay in the systems you use for them, and the website links there. We review each website form so none of it ends up in the site's database or backups.

Each change is built on a private staging copy first. Marketing, legal and the product owner can look at the exact page before it goes live, and once they've signed off, it launches at the time you set.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
