A competitive analysis revealed what consistencies exist amongst other large financial companies and how they prioritize their design strategies. Messaging, content, and organization were all considered as well as the use of UI patterns.
After researching competitors, a survey was conducted with Userzoom to discover what users expect from a financial company homepage, including messaging, point of view, characteristics, and information architecture.
Consistency, industry knowledge, professionalism, accolade highlights, and product and service information were deemed the most important aspects for a financial company's homepage in order to develop trust and assurance.
After the survey, two designs were created and put to the test to see which one closely matches with the user expectations. The new homepage evaluation revealed one clear winner which applied all of the research conducted in a visually pleasing manner using the current design system with added features and augmentations specific to the homepage, which resulted in an increase in engagement by 12%.
