Meridian Financial Partners: A faster, more findable site for a growing financial services company
Website Development & Design
Falcon Consulting moved a growing financial services firm's website off a platform that needed a developer for every update, and launched the new site in eight weeks.
The problem
A slow site, and every change waiting in a queue
Meridian's website ran on a platform that needed a developer for every update. The site was slow, and every change, from a broken form to a slow page, waited on an outside developer's schedule.
The approach
A faster front end on the same foundation
- Speed. A new front end took over everything visitors see. The editing system stayed, so the team's publishing routine did not change.
- Design continuity. The design, homepage messaging, navigation and service descriptions carried over unchanged, with every page address intact.
- Optimization for conversion. A simpler contact form with an email opt-in, a footer signup, and notifications that get every lead to the team.
- Search. Metadata, structured data, a refreshed sitemap and local signals for traditional and AI search, plus an accessibility pass to WCAG 2.1 AA.
- An Insights hub. Blog, resources and video in one place, with on-site search and a path to get in touch on every page.
- Launch. Live in eight weeks.
The results
A site the team can own
The site loads fast and is built for search and AI results. Changes are now quick, easy, and don't impact site performance or depend on a developer.
