Streamlining and upgrading the user experience

Other site enhancements include an upgraded search function and a seamless mobile experience. To help visitors get started, the homepage features a new launch tour module, offering a step-by-step guide through the new site’s key features and functionalities.
Driving engagement and cross-selling
Lafayette Federal’s new website encourages interactivity with benefit-based guided selling tools on product pages that help guide visitors toward the best-fit product options, as well as interactive calculators that automatically pull from the website’s rates tables to help inform buying decisions. Other exciting new features include chat functionality, an upgraded branch and ATM locator, and an animated component on the “Open an Account” page that walks visitors through the Lafayette Federal difference.
Creating a partnership for continual improvement
The website is built using flexible WordPress templates that empower the Lafayette Federal marketing team to update rates, product pages, photos, blog, and other information as needed.
“We’re committed to empowering our members to take control of their finances, and our new website is just one way we’ve worked to make that a reality,” says Andrew Doepping, Lafayette Federal’s VP of Member Relations & Marketing. “From day one, working with PixelSpoke was a smooth experience. They were aligned with our vision to offer an improved, yet familiar site that remained true to our brand while boosting the online experience. We are pleased to have collectively accomplished this and more — banking with our credit union is more convenient and accessible than ever before.”
Moving forward, Lafayette Federal and PixelSpoke look forward to continuing their partnership to further evolve the website and better support the financial well-being of Lafayette Federal members.
