GREENVILLE, S.C. – A new website design firm has debuted to work with credit unions.
Called “uncommn,” it has been founded by Bo McDonald, who is known to many in credit unions for his work in CU marketing for more than a decade. Three credit unions have already had their sites redesigned by the new company.
“Unlike other website vendors, who provide cumbersome technology coupled with costly customer support, uncommn is turning the common frustration of web marketing into the ‘uncommn’,” said McDonald in a statement. “The new website design firm provides credit unions and community banks with easy to manage custom websites for thousands of dollars less than other companies, and in several weeks instead of several months – all while delivering exemplary service.”
McDonald said he could see the mounting frustration in credit unions that are “sold exorbitant, complex technology that, when it fails, the finger points back to the client. Too often these companies don’t think in terms of what their customers really need or want.”
The result, said McDonald, is awful service and complicated technology.
“Many community financial institutions feel handcuffed by their website,” McDonald said. “You made a large investment and you want to see it pay off. You’re likely to stay in an undesirable relationship when you’re fully invested or you view other companies as lower or equal alternatives to your current situation. At uncommn, we are producing cutting-edge responsive websites that are affordable, easy to manage and humanize your brand in a way that deepens your connection with members, stakeholders and prospects.”
The three credit unions that have turned to uncommn to optimize their sites and ensure they are mobile ready and easy to navigate include e “Spartan Federal Credit Union, HopeSouth Credit Union and Hawaii First Federal Credit Union, the company said.
