Santa Cruz Community Credit Union

The Lighstream Group

The Credit Union set out to revamp its website beginning in February 2021. An RFP was created, and several vendors were interviewed, and we selected The Lightstream Group to assist in developing a new and improved website.

Objective
The following were the objectives for the creation of the new website:
1. Create a dynamic site that we can add to as time progresses and ensure it is mobile-friendly.
2. Create a site that fully encapsulates the mission and vision of SCCCU.
3. Create a site that can be easily translated into Spanish.
4. Create a site that is easy to navigate and access critical information.
5. Clearly and adequately share the inclusive products and services we offer to those who are unbanked or underserved in our community.
6. Create a site with a back end that is easy to manage and use for the future.

Target Audience:
SCCCU has been serving Santa Cruz and North Monterey Counties since 1977. Inspired by our mission and vision, we’re certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), low-income credit union, and Juntos Avanzamos credit union, which means our purpose is to provide inclusive, affordable, and accessible financial services that make a difference in our members and our community. We currently serve approximately 14,000 members.
