Evolve Bank & Trust
Founded in 1925, Evolve Bank & Trust has spent the past century at the intersection of tradition and innovation.
Visit WebsiteEvolve came to Havenoro with a clear mission: transform their digital presence to reflect the trust, innovation, and personal relationships that define the brand. While the bank’s technology and services were world-class, the existing website fell short, lacking engagement, storytelling, intuitive navigation, and strategic calls to action. The objective was twofold: Elevate the user experience through modern design and enhanced functionality. Support the bank’s next phase of growth—especially in fintech and open banking—by building a scalable, mobile-first platform that engages users and drives conversion.
Havenoro commenced with a comprehensive discovery phase, encompassing stakeholder interviews, competitor benchmarking, and UX audits. We knew this site had to do more than look good—it needed to perform, convert, and communicate trust at every touchpoint. Our approach included: Streamlining the navigation structure for ease of use across all audience types—from fintech partners to local banking customers. Rebuilding on WordPress with a focus on speed, security, and flexibility. Designing with intent—using modern visual techniques like glassmorphism and a clean, trustworthy palette aligned with Evolve’s brand guidelines. Creating scalable architecture to support multimedia, interactive tools, and future growth. Humanizing the experience with purposeful imagery that reflects Evolve’s people-first values in both their community banking and tech-driven offerings. From there, we incorporated compelling CTAs, SEO-optimized content structure, and intuitive paths that directly address each of their five core audiences: Personal & Business Banking, Mortgage, Physicians Capital, SBA Lending, and Open Banking.
The new EvolveBank & Trust website is more than a facelift—it’s a future-ready platform that serves both legacy and emerging audiences. Whether a small business owner in Arkansas or a fintech startup in Silicon Valley, every visitor now experiences a brand that’s sleek, professional, transparent, and easy to navigate. Key enhancements: Optimized user journeys for faster access to information Stronger brand storytelling through modern visuals and a clear voice Improved performance across all devices with a mobile-first design Foundation for growth with scalable design and architecture
