When Waypoint Bank approached us to redesign its website, we saw a tremendous opportunity to modernize its online presence and create a digital experience that reflected its commitment to customer service and community values. As a trusted financial institution, Waypoint Bank needed a website that showcased its services and provided seamless usability for its customers.
Challenges
During our initial discovery phase, we identified several key challenges:
Outdated Design: The previous website had an outdated look that didn’t reflect the modern, customer-focused brand Waypoint Bank wanted to convey.
Limited Mobile Usability: As an increasing number of users access the site from mobile devices, we needed to ensure that the new site was fully responsive and mobile-friendly.
Complex Navigation: Customers reported difficulty finding key information, such as loan options, branch locations, and online banking features.
Compliance and Security: As a financial institution, the website needed to meet strict compliance standards and incorporate robust security features.

We prioritized a clean, modern design that visually conveyed trust and professionalism.
Simplified navigation ensured customers could easily access the most important information, such as account services, loan offerings, and branch details.
