Ep. 119 Website Design for Credit Unions and Banks: What Should It Cost?

Building a new website is one of the biggest investments a bank or credit union will make. But how do you know what you should actually be spending? In this episode of the Hit Record Podcast, Meredith Olmstead sits down with Duncan Craig to discuss what drives website costs, where institutions should invest, and why the cheapest option isn't always the smartest one.Key Takeaways:1.  Your website is one of your most valuable branches. For many consumers/members,  your website is their first impression of your institution. A strong website should do more than look good. It should build trust, answer questions, and make it easy for people to take the next step.2.  A great website should grow with your institution.  Launching a new website isn't the finish line. The best websites are built so they can evolve with new products, new content, and changing member expectations without needing a complete rebuild.3. The right partner is just as important as the budget. Website projects are about more than design. Working with an experienced partner who understands strategy, user experience, and long-term growth will deliver far more value than simply choosing the lowest price.
