Knowing your audience’s motivations and being able to target them is key. From private investors to commercial banking to personal loans, Orbit bank web designs are built to highlight your story and serve your needs.

Websites designed to meet the needs of financial institutions

And their customers.

From small credit unions to regional or national banks, providing financial services to customers involves unique regulatory and customer-service requirements.

Preparedness = improved efficiency

There are pain points and complex changes in every field. For financial institutions, these are often:

  • Changing your core provider
  • Acquisitions
  • Updating calculators, tools, and forms
  • And more

Increase your credit and improve customer experience

Your financial institution is built on trust and integrity.

Unfortunately, for many financial institutions, a banking website that is poorly designed can wipe out years of established credibility in seconds. People will click away without a second thought.

The good news is that positive first impressions and an improved user experience lead to increased engagement on the website, leading to higher conversion rates. So what creates a positive user experience?

  • Easy access to useful tools for new and existing customers.
  • A well-designed and secure login experience, mobile interface, and navigation that makes sense.
  • Quick access to the information, tools, and services your customers need.

The financial service industry is changing and becoming more customer-centric. With contemporary bank web design services, more financial institutions have an opportunity to appeal to online and tech-savvy users.

Secure bank website hosting and management

At its core, a web host should be two things: accountable and reliable.

This is especially important when you’re providing banking services. When you host with Orbit, our team is responsible for supporting your site and keeping it live.

Multiple needs, one seamless experience

If you’re in the banking industry, your website is typically responsible for fulfilling two needs:

  • Marketing. The website is a tool for lead generation, cross-selling products, and financial news. And for some banks, the virtual location is the only location of the brand.
  • Online banking. For both personal and business accounts, your customers rely on secure online tools to manage accounts and complete transactions.

Both are essential to satisfy today’s customers, but it’s not necessarily essential to combine the two into one website. It can be a pain point for marketers to have to work through the IT department to make changes and updates to the front end of the website. You need a bank website vendor that can provide beautiful web design with an easy-to-use CMS.

Orbit’s banking web designs have given many financial institutions (including Liberty Bank and Bank South) fresh new looks backed by a user-friendly CMS. This allows them to manage the content without touching the complex online banking back-end.

80% of users interact with their bank through more than one channel.

Research shows that many of these users rely on mobile banking and online websites to contact their bank. Your website should be designed for your customers.

Designs that respond to how we bank today

Banking today isn’t based on mobile or desktop or apps: it’s omnichannel.

The majority of people use multiple channels to interact with their bank. That means your site has to be responsive to every approach, offering a seamlessly coherent user experience.

That’s why Orbit has made responsive web design a standard for every project. Our approach towards banking web design delivers a consistent experience for your existing customers and new customers alike, whether they are at home researching financial products or on the go looking for the nearest ATM.

Bank website accessibility compliance is not just a trend

It is a requirement.

Website accessibility is the practice of ensuring your website is usable by as many people as possible, regardless of their circumstances.

An accessible bank website should be a top priority for your online banking website.

If a visitor can’t use your website, they won’t be your customer.
