Byond Online Publisher - Widgets

Multi-section Homepage

A product-focus approach is common for diverse banking institutions however opportunities exist to modify this normal approach and to embellish your site with a range of user-centric content presented in ways that directly communicate with viewers, engaging them in informative and entertaining ways. A multi-section homepage sliding mechanism can be implemented for you which presents custom images and navigation for each section.

Lifestyle Sections

A small business lifestyle section features case studies of actual business members sharing their philosophies on business and their experience with your organisation. The section is designed to feature business owners and business issues.

Interest Rate Module

Interest rate information is one of the key pieces of information commonly searched for on financial services websites. This Interest Rate Module showcases a small number of key product interest rates on the home page, highlighting those rates that are most attractive.  The module accommodates a range of interest rates by periodically revealing new rates with a sliding effect.

Multimedia Integration

Linking above-the-line promotions to a website can extend and reinforce campaign objectives. In order to mitigate the risks associated with embedding third- party video players/links, Brighton sanitises video files, serves the file from a dedicated server and presents them through a custom-built video player.

Multiple Promotional Messages

Multiple homepage promotional messages can be delivered thorough a range of custom-built promotional rotators. Each rotator serves between 2-6 promotional messages. The rotators feature a range of dynamic animation styles designed to attract attention.

Corporate Blogs

Corporate blogs are commonly used in the initial phase of a social media strategy.  They provide the organisation with the opportunity to:

• demonstrate transparency
• discuss matters in a personal tone
• highlight the people who work in the organisation
• engage with members

Descriptive Menu Tool

This tool enables credit unions to provide image and text based descriptions against each menu item.  It will help visitors understand exactly what information they can expect to find on each page and therefore ensure one-click navigation to the correct page.  Advertising images can also be included to highlight a relevant campaign or special offer.

Internet Banking Integration

Account Switching Wizard 

This tool allows a potential member to switch their overall banking to your organisation online. Through a series of simple forms, the new member is able to apply for a new account, request closure of their old account and swap direct debit/credits. Note:  this system is currently being re-scoped as part of an industry project being conducted with Abacus.

Forum

A standard capability function available through Byond Online Publisher is the ability to deploy a forum or forums. A forum is an online facility where users may read and post topics of common interest.  They can be useful for anyone doing business online, in terms of sharing information, reading content and actively participating in discussions.

Brighton Consulting’s mobile website has been specifically designed to operate on the small screens of modern mobile phones. It works in conjunction with a client’s main public website and ensures essential information is easily accessible.  Users are automatically diverted to the Mobile Website when accessing your URL via a mobile device.

Interest Rate Comparison Tool

The Interest Rate Comparison Tool is a simple mechanism for highlighting the competitiveness of your products throughout your website.
