Website Redesign Project Scope

Red River Bank specified a website that not only conveyed their professional "banking" identity but also a warm and friendly appeal. Due to Red River Bank's wide range of customer demographics and plans for expansion, it was also determined that the new website be fully useable by the broadest audience possible, including those using dial-up connections.

Website Design Solution and Implementation

With those design criteria in mind, Collaborint created a sophisticated, yet inviting, user interface. Easy-to-use main tab and secondary/left navigation was used, consistently, throughout the website. Various navigational aides were incorporated, such as a Help section, a Site Map and a local site Search function to facilitate fast and easy information retrieval.

Primary website design and production accomplishments include advanced use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) combined with standards-based XHTML Transitional source code resulting in an attractive, fast loading, search engine friendly website which will be easily maintained and expanded.
