Frontier Bank Creates Strong Online Presence With T8 Webware

Enhanced online capabilities moves bank to attract broader, more diverse audience

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T8 Webware, a provider of Web development, management and hosting services for the financial industry, announced today the launch of Frontier Bank’s website. The Nebraska-based institution has successfully expanded its online presence, enhancing site usability and content to attract a wider base of customers as well as strategically position cross-sell opportunities online.

“Frontier Bank has done that, penetrating Omaha and Lincoln with an image to make a lasting first impression. Investing in a wholly functional website can achieve tremendous returns, raise satisfaction among existing customers and garner countless prospects, reaching a full ROI in a short period of time.”

Prior to enlisting T8 Webware, Frontier Bank was limited in what it could offer website visitors in both aesthetics and functionality. The bank, which traditionally served rural markets, was expanding to include more metropolitan areas – such as Lincoln and Omaha – and knew that repositioning its online brand was necessary to effectively serve both groups. Frontier Bank found an ideal partner in T8 Webware, as the company offers a specialized knowledge for the business needs of community financial institutions in addition to its technological expertise. Not only did the bank eliminate having to educate a non-bank focused Web provider, adding hours and resources to the process, but also created an online environment that addresses what prospects and customers want.

“A website is the public introduction to an institution’s brand,” said Dave Rogers, CEO of Frontier Bank. “Our last website did not have the additional capability we needed to serve our growing customer base, or adequately represent Frontier Bank’s evolving image. We needed a way to regularly manage our Web presence and make our site more engaging. T8 Webware aligned with our objectives from a cost, time and outcome perspective to help us accomplish those goals.“

With T8 Webware’s content management system, FREEDOM8, Frontier Bank is able to provide more relevant, current information on its website and do so more frequently. FREEDOM8 enables any authorized user to update the site, from any location at any time, while enforcing FFIEC guidelines and FDIC functional compliance, giving financial institutions the tools to improve the dynamics of their Web presence. Specifically, Frontier Bank has gained an ease to tweak product lines to reflect real-time changes and also offer accurate stock quotes, local cash grain prices and weather reports, adding value to the visitor’s experience.

“With 70 percent of consumers researching financial institutions online, an articulate brand presence on the Web allows any size bank to compete in major markets,” said Wade Arnold, CEO of T8 Webware. “Frontier Bank has done that, penetrating Omaha and Lincoln with an image to make a lasting first impression. Investing in a wholly functional website can achieve tremendous returns, raise satisfaction among existing customers and garner countless prospects, reaching a full ROI in a short period of time.”
