What is Dalbar’s Website Redesign Planner? The accomplishment of launching a redesigned website can be short-lived if the site has not improved; if clients are upset that popular content or features have been removed; or if feedback insists that the previous version was superior.
With countless possibilities for development, planning for a website upgrade becomes first and foremost a task in prioritization. What are the must-haves for a website versus the nice-to-haves? What features of the existing website should remain and what should be tossed?
The Website Redesign Planner prepares financial services firms with the answers to these critical questions when embarking on a website redesign. This report is essential for any firm contemplating a website redesign.
What Method Is Used? Dalbar monitors hundreds of consumer and financial professional websites across the mutual fund, life insurance, annuity and retirement plan industry, recognizing those firms that strive to provide clients with robust online support. Using our vast knowledge of financial services websites and drawing on our experience of seeing hundreds of website redesigns, Dalbar will evaluate pre and post-redesign websites, during production or after release, and provide feedback on functionality, content, navigation, and usability to ensure the dream of launching a redesigned site does not become a nightmare.
