Searching for a new web hosting provider, website designer, or web developer can be a daunting task for any business. However, the task can be more difficult for you, because of federal and state regulations that financial institution websites must meet. It’s critical that banks makes sure their website vendor ticks all the critical boxes before signing a contract.
Whether you’re redesigning your site or moving your bank website to a new web hosting service, you’ll want to have a clear understanding of the vendor’s process and workflow. This should include a detailed outline and schedule for deliverables. Be sure to discuss who will create and provide content and identify the key stakeholders responsible for reviewing and approving each step of the process. Good project management guarantees the website vendor can complete the job smoothly and on time.
Once your website goes live, you and the vendor should agree on expectations for communication and support. To avoid frustration when issues arise, ask the vendor about the preferred method of communication, availability, and average response time. Because bank and credit union customers rely on online access to their account information 24/7, open communication with website vendors is critical to ensure the website never goes down.
If your business goal is to increase your customer base, you’ll need a bank website that can grow with you. Your bank website designer or developer must be able to adapt your website as technology and customer needs evolve. Your web hosting service should have the resources to accommodate changing speed and space requirements. Plan for your future now so that you won’t spend more time or money on finding new website vendors later.
Customer testimonials and reviews can provide very helpful insight into what you can expect from a website vendor. Most companies post testimonials from satisfied customers on their websites. Because people post complaints or issues on a company’s social media account or Google, you can see how the vendor addresses problems. Look for customers similar to your bank or credit union to determine if the website vendor will be a good fit.
