We take this process extremely seriously, to ensure we can develop the best content for your visitor, and deliver exactly what they’re looking for when visiting a credit union’s website. Some of the steps we take in developing your website include:

Content is King

However you want to phrase this adage, it’s still the most important thing possible when it comes to building a website (in any niche). Content has to

  • Be relevant
  • Add value (for your searcher/visitor/reader)
  • Be new and fresh
  • Offer valuable insight
  • Be easy to read (language all readers can understand)

Furthermore, the content we add to your credit union website will be timely, of interest, simple, and client-focused. Think of it, does your customer want to know you offer the best rates and free checking accounts or are they interested in what your competitors offer?

When it comes to developing content for your website, it has to deliver what your audience wants to know about you, how your credit union will benefit them. Not what other competitors have or don’t have to offer. This is your moment to sell your company and to shine through. Incorporating local SEO, relevant information about credit union services, your fee structure, or relevant blog content regarding the membership (and its perks), are just some of the ways in which you can develop rich, organic content, which your niche audience is looking for.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Your website has to fall under the criteria guidelines of ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act), Title I and Title II, state, local, and federal guidelines. It can’t be discriminatory and has to adhere to strict guidelines, to ensure accessibility to individuals who are disabled. Our credit union web design team is familiar with online requirements, guidelines, and all WCAG implementations that are in place, to ensure your website adheres to the requirements for this type of website. It has to be accessible to every and anyone who is looking for financial services a credit union offers. We’ll make sure your site not only adheres to stringent guidelines but exceeds the minimum standards which are in place, to ensure the greatest contingency of possible customers can view your content.

Sensitive Information: Protection is of High Importance

When dealing with credit unions and financial institutions in general, customers are inputting sensitive information. Whether it’s account information, an SS number, DOB, credit card number, or other sensitive information, your website has to have the proper protocols and securities in place, to ensure that information is safeguarded.

It’s important to have:

  • HTTPS protocols in place
  • Security guidelines
  • Encryption systems in place to ensure customer information is secure
  • A responsive design website
  • The use of decryption to unlock information or assist customers getting back onto their account information

We take all necessary precautions and establish the best security systems in building a secure website, your customers can feel comfortable using. Not only will we take necessary precautions to protect your members, and their private information, but also all visitors, and anyone who visits the site searching for information regarding your credit union services.

High Focus Placed on What Your Customers Want

Ultimately, credit unions have to appease to their members and the services they are looking for. Think about it, you’re in business because of your members. Therefore, if they want new content regarding mortgage rates and interest or financing, this is the content you need to deliver. Our credit union web design team considers this in building your site and in managing and maintaining it. We not only help in the development phases, but also in adding new, original, engaging content, tools, and resources, which your members are looking for. Furthermore, we’ll implement new resources to help attract new members to join your credit union. The more engaging the content is and your site is, the easier it is going to be to maintain high satisfaction rates and attract a new local audience you’re trying to reach as a credit union.
