Our Expertise
Other web developers might have one or two banking clients. At Lightstream, your industry is our focus. Since 2008, we’ve helped scores of financial institutions to boost brand awareness, deepen relationships, and reach their business goals. We’re committed to delivering better results at lower costs – with dependable guidance at every step.
Guidance
We’ll be right beside you
throughout the process.
Your dedicated Project Manager will serve as your guide from day one. From kickoff to launch, we follow a simple, sequential method, and you’ll be informed and consulted at every turn. Your team will receive personalized training on your new site’s user-friendly content management system and other essential features. You even get unlimited free support for one designated superuser.
Industry Insights
We’ll apply the knowledge we’ve acquired.
The founders of Lightstream started out supporting the world’s largest financial brands. In 2008, we took everything we learned into the community banking space. Today, we serve over 60 local and regional banks and credit unions and are fully immersed in all aspects of marketing, including website development, digital advertising, and analytics.
Best Practices
We’ll build you a site for today and tomorrow.
From search engine optimization to security, your site will meet or exceed current industry standards and provide a solid foundation for future enhancements. Unlike other nonmodular website designs that limit additions, upgrades, and integrations, our solutions are designed to seamlessly support new initiatives and technologies.
WordPress
We’ll give you a hardened site.
WordPress is a powerful, flexible tool – but not all WordPress sites are created equal. We specialize in fully customized and hardened WordPress sites, which means they feature clean code, leading-edge plugins, and multilayer security features designed to protect financial institutions.
Content
We’ll help you tell your unique brand story.
A great website needs fresh, engaging, and trustworthy content. Our inhouse writers and designers are not only at the top of their craft, but they’re fluent in finance and SEO. We can clearly explain and illustrate the benefits of banking with your institution and can even furnish a comprehensive multimedia library of financial wellness content.
UI/UX
We’ll deliver a seamless user experience.
“User interface” and “user experience” shouldn’t just be marketing jargon. At Lightstream, putting the user first is our guiding principle in web development. Our solution delivers a fresh style, streamlined navigation, and clear calls to action across all platforms and devices.
WCAG
We’ll assist you in maintaining compliance.
Your website should be accessible to the largest possible number of users. We adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and ADA/Section 508 requirements. We provide free scans and documentation every six months.
Hosting
We’ll offer ongoing management and support.
Launch day is an occasion for celebration, but it’s not the end of the journey. Lightstream can provide secure, reliable hosting and additional services on an as-needed basis. If a problem arises, we’ll address it quickly. We guarantee 99.9% uptime.

We establish your project plan in the discovery phase:
- Identify your institution’s key strengths and differentiators
- Evaluate how current web content aligns with consumer needs
- Create a sitemap that optimizes intuitive flow of information
Design
Design’s prime objective is to clearly present user-centric solutions:
- Develop a mood board that encapsulates your brand’s look and feel
- Create wireframes to guide the allocation of webpage real estate
- Step out page designs to ensure visual harmony and ease of use
Develop
Once the look, tone, and feel of your site is established, it’s time to build it out:
- Provide written content and photography suggestions in waves
- Set up analytics, compliance, plugins, SEO, and security features
- Test integrations and usability through rigorous quality controls
Manage
Initial hands-on training by our team is only the beginning:
- Host your site and maintain its code, security, and plugins
- Show you how to build pages with our drag-and-drop modules
- Offer ongoing training and support on an as-needed basis

We used Lightstream’s web development team to transition our website from a proprietary CMS, to a more secure, improved option. My account executives at Lightstream helped make it a smooth and painless process. During the project we used their consulting services to springboard our progress on our website’s WCAG ADA accessibility… As a 12 year client of Lightstream, I proudly endorse the organization for their attention to detail, quality of work, industry knowledge, and speed of delivery.
