Mortgage Lender’s Award-Winning WordPress Site Delivers Professional, On-Brand Experience with Improved Sitemap and Third-Party Integrations
Accunet’s previous website didn’t accurately represent its brand or the growth the company had experienced in recent years. The site was difficult to manage with complex forms and a sitemap that didn’t serve users well. The Chief Technology Wizard at Accunet received a glowing referral for Northwoods from another Northwoods client. He gave his new digital BFFs a call and was quickly impressed by Northwoods’ data-driven approach, skilled technical background, and competitive bid.
The Situation
- Accunet’s clients need professional guidance on the home buying and refinancing process. What they found when visiting the previous site was an overly complicated experience that didn’t reflect the 20+ years of knowledge and expertise Accunet brought to the table.
- The website design needed a refresh, and back-end systems and third-party integrations were functioning poorly and difficult to maintain.
The Solution
- Northwoods used a data-driven, strategic approach and competitive analysis to evaluate the current site.
- The resulting digital strategy provided a roadmap focused on improving site navigation and SEO. Refinancing was brought into sharper focus due to many of Accunet’s clients requiring refinancing instead of an initial purchase.
- The team at Northwoods built and designed a polished new site on WordPress and has provided ongoing support since day one. The resulting site offers simplified back-end management, the ability to track user behavior, improved SEO, and third-party integrations.
The Outcome
- Accunet has a professional-looking, beautifully designed website that provides a great user experience and is easy to manage.
- The Web Marketing Association WebAwards—an international competition that recognizes the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the best websites on the Internet today—awarded the Accunet website a Standard of Excellence Award for Financial Services.
- The site is now on par with national competitors and reflects the wide range of clients that Accunet serves.
- Through Worry-Free WordPress support, Northwoods provides ongoing updates to Accunet’s WordPress core and plugins to maintain the website and protect it from security vulnerabilities.
