Prime Meridian Bank: A Trust-First Website for a Community Bank.

Overview

This bank website design project was for Prime Meridian Bank, an FDIC-insured community bank in Tallahassee, Florida. The bank serves small businesses, families and home buyers. Its brand line is "Try My Bank".

Craxinno designed and built a new WordPress website for the bank. It gives each customer a clear path to accounts, savings and home loans. It also keeps the bank's warm, local voice: "Here for you. Here for your business."

The challenge

Prime Meridian Bank competes with national banks on service, not size. Its website had to feel as polished and secure as a big bank's. It also had to show the local people behind the bank. And as a regulated bank, every page had to carry details like FDIC membership and NMLS numbers.

The goals were simple:

• Build trust fast. Show FDIC, NMLS and coverage details up front.
• Split the journey. Give business owners, personal customers and home buyers their own paths.
• Win switchers. Make it easy to move from a bigger bank.
• Cut support calls. Put self-service tools one click away.
• Let staff edit. Update rates and products without a developer.

What we built

Our UI/UX design and web development teams delivered the full site. We built it on WordPress and Elementor Pro.

• A brand-aligned visual system in green and gold.
• 5 responsive pages: Home, Business Banking, Personal Solutions, Home Mortgage and a reusable product template.
• A site-wide header with an FDIC banner, Login button and "Get Started" call to action.
• Listings for 15+ checking, savings, money market, CD and loan products.
• A 3D-style carousel for digital banking, mortgage lending and fraud prevention.
• Banker profiles and a "Meet your lenders" section.
• A self-service footer with calculators, the mobile app, check reorders and an FDIC coverage estimator.
• A downloadable financial statement form for mortgage applicants.
• Accessibility support and page caching for speed.

Key pages

Each page has one clear job. Here is how the site is laid out.

• Home. The "Try My Bank" hero, split cards for business and mortgage, a service carousel, the community section and the branch invite.
• Business Banking. The "Made for Owners" page. It lists checking tiers, savings, money market accounts, CDs, a line of credit and SBA loans.
• Personal Solutions. Everyday accounts, from e-Prime Personal Checking to personal and minor savings.
• Home Mortgage. Home loans, refinancing and construction loans. It also has a downloadable financial statement form.
• Checking / Savings. A reusable product template. Staff can copy it to add a new account in minutes.

All pages share one header and footer. That keeps the menu, the FDIC notice and the support links the same everywhere.

Design approach

We built the look around the bank's own colours: a deep green (#00542B) and a bright gold (#FAC419). Soft green duotone banners carry the big brand lines. Rounded cards, pill buttons and bold headlines keep it modern.

Warm photos of business owners, families and homes keep it personal. Split green and gold cards send visitors straight to Business Banking or Home Mortgage. The copy stays plain and local: "Make yourself at home" and "Love your place in the neighborhood".

The result

Prime Meridian Bank now has a site that looks as trusted as a national bank's. It still feels like the bank down the street. Trust signals greet every visitor. Each audience has a one-click path. Self-service tools are always close by.

With Elementor Pro and a reusable product template, bank staff can now add accounts and update pages on their own. Planning a bank or fintech site of your own? Talk to our team.
