About the project

We first redesigned Allegacy’s website in 2017 and have worked on an ongoing basis with the credit union as a digital marketing partner for the past six years. The second redesign aimed to:

The new site simplifies solutions, connecting a person’s circumstance to an Allegacy product or service, and easily guiding members and potential members to what best fits their needs. This is the exceptional experience we are committed to offering – both in our branches and online.

OBJECTIVE 1

Improving and personalizing the user experience

With a streamlined and highly intuitive top navigation, Allegacy’s new website doesn’t overwhelm visitors and gets them where they need to go. All product pages include clear calls to action for visitors who are interested in getting started, offering online applications and alternate pathways for visitors who prefer to visit, call, or chat.

Some pages, like Savings and Mortgages, also include guided selling capabilities, helping visitors find the best-fit account or loan options based on the preferences they select. The homepage also includes goal-based guided selling, so that Allegacy can recommend products based on a visitor’s life stage and primary financial goal.

OBJECTIVE 2

Upgrading and modernizing the site

The new website reflects Allegacy’s evolved brand, with updated icons, fonts, and other visuals. Rather than depicting objects, the new icons focus on the people who are at the heart of everything Allegacy does. Both the site’s icons and line elements help to signify movement, which reflect Allegacy’s focus on health and financial fitness. A bold color palette lends the site a greater sense of energy, and subtle animations on call to action buttons further reinforce new branding elements.

OBJECTIVE 3

Incorporating stakeholder feedback

As part of the “Discover” phase of the redesign process, PixelSpoke spoke with key internal stakeholders and conducted user testing to get feedback about pain points and opportunities. Based on these tests and conversations, PixelSpoke developed flexible and powerful product pages optimized for conversion; built embedded rates table capabilities so that visitors can see rates in context; created buyer journey pages for auto loans, mortgages, and other key products; and fleshed out the Join page to create a more compelling case to become a member.
