Credit union web design that members trust and examiners respect

How much does a credit union website design cost?

Most credit union website projects land in the mid five figures, scoped by page templates, rate and calculator complexity, online banking integration points, and content volume. We quote a fixed price after a scoping call — no open-ended discovery retainers. Ongoing care plans with SOC 2 Type II hosting, monitoring, and compliance upkeep start at $79.99/month, so the total cost of ownership stays predictable after launch.

Will our website be ADA compliant?

Yes — accessibility is designed in, not bolted on. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard referenced in ADA website lawsuits, which have targeted credit unions specifically for years. That covers color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader semantics, accessible forms and rate tables, and an accessibility statement. Care plans include ongoing scans, because compliance is a state you maintain, not a certificate you frame.

Do you integrate with our online banking platform?

Yes. We serve credit unions directly and through CUSOs, and build secure SSO entry points, login handoffs, rate tables, and calculators in front of platforms across the Jack Henry, Symitar/Banno, and Velera/PSCU ecosystems. Your marketing site stays cleanly separated from the banking platform — the architecture examiners want — while members experience one continuous brand.

Why WordPress instead of a proprietary credit union CMS?

Ownership and evidence. With WordPress, your credit union owns the code, content, and hosting relationship outright — no per-page licensing, no vendor lock-in, no black-box SaaS contract to explain to examiners. For NCUA and FFIEC purposes you can produce the actual server, logs, and access reviews. Hardened correctly on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure, WordPress meets the same security bar as proprietary platforms while costing meaningfully less over a five-year horizon.

Can you redesign our site without disrupting members?

Yes. Redesigns run on a staging environment while your current site stays live and monitored. Launch is a scheduled, reversible cutover — DNS and redirects planned in advance, rate tables verified, online banking links tested, and rollback ready. We manage production sites for financial institutions daily, so member-facing downtime is treated as a compliance event, not an acceptable side effect.
