ClearView Credit Union homepage redesign showing clean financial dashboard with account overview
WCAG 2.1 AACore Web VitalsConversion Optimization
Credit Union · Homepage Redesign

A credit union homepage that stopped feeling like 2014.

ClearView had 84,000 members and a website that drove them to branches instead of keeping them online. We rebuilt their digital front door — WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, load time under 1.8s, conversion rate up 34% in 90 days.

Meridian trading dashboard with real-time charts, order book, and portfolio analytics
FINRA CompliantReal-time DataInvestor-ready
Fintech Startup · Trading Dashboard

The trading dashboard that closed a $12M Series A.

Meridian's MVP needed to pass investor due diligence and FINRA review simultaneously. We designed a trading dashboard that felt institutional on day one — complex data made legible, compliance woven into the visual grammar.

Unlocked from the Playbook

Three things your financial site
is probably getting wrong.

Get the Full Playbook
01Performance & Trust
From the Playbook

Load time is a trust signal, not a performance metric.

In financial UX testing, users rate institutions with sub-2s load times 31% more trustworthy than identical interfaces at 3.5s. The page weight is the brand weight.

02Compliance by Design
From the Playbook

Compliance copy belongs in the visual grammar, not the footnotes.

WCAG conformance and regulatory disclosures don't have to live in 9px gray text. The highest-converting financial pages treat compliance as a credibility feature, surfacing it with hierarchy and intent.

03Dual Audience Architecture
From the Playbook

The "investor view" and the "member view" need the same homepage.

Credit unions and regional banks serve two audiences simultaneously: the retail member and the institutional observer running due diligence. The best financial homepages speak to both without a separate IR page.

The full playbook covers 47 principles across accessibility, conversion architecture, and compliance UX.

"Our CMO saw the new homepage and asked if we'd rebranded. We hadn't. That's what a precision redesign does — it makes the institution feel like it leveled up overnight."
