Redesign for Bank Website Usability

The website for Prairie State Bank & Trust was recently redesigned to present a more professional appearance with better organization of information and services, providing a more user-friendly experience for customers of the central Illinois community bank. Custom-designed graphic buttons and a dedicated news page were created to highlight important aspects of the financial institution, and an easy administration area was built for in-house staff to manage dynamic financial rates to be displayed in various locations on the site.

Take a look at the clean layout and clear navigation of this website redesign project. Can you find all the online features you’d need from a bank here?

Just for Fun Friday: Cleverbot and Bacon Ipsum

Here are some cool things we’re playing around with this week. Take a look just for fun, and feel free to share some of your favorite online tools or destinations with us too!

Dan is fond of Cleverbot for the entertainment value. Cleverbot is a web application created back in 1988 that tries to mimic actual human conversation. It takes input from a user and selects previously entered phrases from its database of conversations to respond. Supposedly it’s like “talking with the collective community of the Internet.” Check it out and see what you think, but don’t expect any “deep” conversations.

Carnivorous staffer Eddie has a new favorite indulgence in Bacon Ipsum for meatier mockup filler text. If you’re a designer with a hankering for cuts of meat, Bacon Ipsum should satisfy your appetite. Not to discriminate against vegetarians though, there is also Veggie Ipsum on the menu.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Custom Web Applications: Webinar Library

A custom web application was recently developed and implemented for Springfield-based Prevention First, Illinois’ only nonprofit resource center specializing in the prevention of teen alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. A “Study Hall” webinar library was created as a continuing education tool for registered users to view courses, take tests and receive certificates based on performance, including a custom flash player to display course presentations. To allow Prevention First staff the capability to easily add, edit and delete course information and tests in-house, an administration area was also constructed.

This web solution successfully organizes and manages multimedia content for registered members within an organization. Do you have content that might lend itself to a similar web application?

Creative Web Solutions: Mobile Website and Mobile Tagging

Creative web solutions were utilized for client Mueller® Company of Decatur, IL to help market a water hydrant product at a tradeshow recently. First, a product-specific mobile website incorporating the Mueller identity was created, then Microsoft tagscustom-designed by Mueller were added to posters, flyers and product packaging distributed at the tradeshow. When these Microsoft tags were scanned with a free Microsoft Tag application, interested tradeshow attendees were immediately directed to the mobile website for further product information, including diagrams, marketing materials and video links. This web solution provided an innovative way to engage prospects with their smartphones while delivering additional product information using mobile technology in a cost effective manner for Mueller.

Do you have a marketing need that might benefit from a similar use of mobile tagging technology?
