SallieMae.com Redesign

Project type

Redesign

Date

July 2010

The old site still described a student loan company, not a financial services provider launching new products, and its aging platform couldn't support modern marketing or personalization.

I started with strategy workshops to align stakeholders on how legacy loans and new products should fit together. Then I led a cross-functional, enterprise-wide team that delivered the redesign and the move to a modern CMS together, in six months.

What changed: a new brand style and page layouts for a student-focused financial institution, a new information architecture that presents loans alongside new products, personalization tools, and better on-page SEO.

The result: online conversions up 20%, organic traffic up 20%, and online revenue up 10%.
