Columbia Credit Union came to Gravitate seeking more than just a fresh coat of paint. Sure, refreshing the aesthetics and creating an intuitive, responsive design were clearly priorities, but in fact, our goal was to create a secure, easy-to-navigate, feature-driven site that makes us all want to switch banks.
Laying the groundwork
Defining style

Think responsive
As mobile web browsing continues to eclipse desktop surfing, it becomes apparent that building specific apps for the major mobile platforms is an arduous undertaking. Why not build a website once and have it work seamlessly across thousands of different screen sizes? You could check your balance from your phone, calculate mortgage payments on your tablet—ok, we’ll stop. You get it.

A community focus
Columbia Credit Union values its local community and needed an organized space in which users could easily find and digest the vast amount of content continually growing every week. With that in mind, we whipped up a polished community section that intuitively guides users to blogs, news articles, important financial news, reports, and more.

The result
Updating Columbia Credit Union’s online presence meant more than providing a new color scheme. We developed an online banking platform that allows users to intuitively navigate the site, manage money online, and keep in touch with their community. We took the time to create customized, intelligently designed solutions to allow versatile, friendly usability while meeting the required, exacting security policies that banking websites mandate.
Our Thoughts
“This was one of the best projects I’ve been involved with. It was a nice challenge to work with such a large company and bring its website to the next level with modern development while integrating a responsive design. One of the challenges was meeting its security policies while keeping the usability flexible and friendly. It’s always great when people I know with Columbia Credit accounts tell me how the website really meets their needs.”
