At a glance
Dunbell Securities, incorporated in 2008, is a dealing member firm of The Nigerian Stock Exchange, licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a broker/dealer. Its website — one we first built in 2020 — ran on WordPress, and the firm wanted that server retired without changing a word of what clients and regulators had already read.
Inventrium rebuilt the site in Next.js in July 2026, keeping the client’s approved wording exactly as it was, and connected it to the SEC vendor platform so it pulls live stock exchange data. The new site is built and awaiting the client’s sign-off to go live.
For a regulated firm, a website rebuild is not a chance to rewrite. Every word, form and record had to arrive exactly as approved.
The challenge
- Regulated content: licensing statements, disclosures and an anti-money-laundering notice had to survive the move unchanged.
- Working forms: clients open accounts and give trading mandates through the site, and the PDF versions had to stay available.
- Records clients rely on: years of dividend history, previously shown through a plugin that had started to fail.
What we did
Captured first, then rebuilt
Every page was captured from the live WordPress install, with its files, and rebuilt from that record. The client’s text is used verbatim.
Account opening and mandates
Corporate and individual account-opening forms and a sales and purchase mandate form are online, alongside all 11 PDF forms, recovered and optimised for download.
Dividend records that load
Dividend tables for 2014 to 2020 and the NSE price list are now plain, readable pages instead of market-data widgets that had begun showing a raw plugin error to visitors.
Audited before launch
A pre-launch audit of headings, metadata, structured data and security headers ended with zero failures and zero warnings, and a published security contact was added.
Under the hood
- Copy kept word for word: each page was captured from the live WordPress site and rebuilt from that record, so nothing a regulator or client had read changed without the client’s say.
- Forms that matter in stockbroking: corporate and individual account opening, a sales and purchase mandate with a CSCS account field, and the anti-money-laundering notice the firm must show.
- Records, not widgets: seven years of dividend tables and an NSE price list rebuilt as plain pages that never break when a plugin does.
- Old links still work: legacy WordPress addresses redirect to the new pages, so bookmarks and search results keep landing in the right place.
- Security tests, closed out: the firm commissions an outside security test twice a year. We go through each report with its auditors and the testers, fix what it raises on the website and send back a written list of what changed.
- Consent done properly: a cookie notice that cites the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, in the firm’s own colours.
The results
- All 23 pages moved off an ageing WordPress server, with the client’s approved wording kept exactly as it was.
- Account-opening forms for individuals and companies and a sales and purchase mandate form, ready to go online.
- Connected to the SEC vendor platform, so the site pulls live stock exchange data.
- All 11 downloadable PDF forms recovered and kept, and made lighter to download.
- Dividend history from 2014 to 2020 rebuilt as clean, readable tables, replacing market-data widgets that had started showing a raw plugin error.
- A pre-launch audit of headings, metadata, structured data and security headers ended with zero failures and zero warnings.
- Every twice-yearly security test since 2021 worked through with the firm’s auditors, with each finding fixed and reported back.
Impact
For Dunbell’s clients: the same forms, records and disclosures they relied on, with no broken widgets.
For the firm: no WordPress server to patch, and a site we look after.
For compliance: regulated wording kept exactly as approved, and a clean audit on record.
Why it matters for Inventrium
Capital-market firms need a partner who treats their website as a regulated document. This engagement shows we can move one without changing a word, keep the forms clients depend on, and prove it clean before launch.
