Community State Bank launches website with focus on mobile users, security

Posted on 08/28/2017

Community State Bank of Missouri, with branches in Bowling Green and Troy, launched a revamped and revitalized website on August 1.

“We are very excited to bring newer technology to our customers and continuity across our various online services,” said Paul Hill, EVP and Co-CEO of Community State Bank. “Security is always at the forefront of our decisions and customer convenience is very important to us as well. We want to improve the online experience and get information to customers in a quick and clean manner.”

The new website, which features a mobile friendly design, uses large imagery that captures the uniqueness of Pike and Lincoln County, replacing a look that originally debuted in 2004 for the bank.

The site includes easy access to online banking along with information on products and services, while also featuring the latest in security and accessibility.

Community State Bank worked with Hub & Spoke, a St. Louis creative agency on the project, which has been a year in the making.

“Bank’s have to ensure their websites work for all customers, no matter their internet connection or ability,” said Dak Dillon, Creative Director at Hub & Spoke. “We worked with Community State Bank to create a website that is easy to use, even on slower internet connections or when on the go.”

The world of journalism is evolving quickly, as traditional media outlets, such as newspapers and magazines, figure out how to best position themselves online.

When Heartland Hub approached us this spring, we jumped at the opportunity to help chart the course of a new online-only media outlet hoping to reinvent community coverage.

A Stylish Brand and Website Refresh for Hockman Interiors Furniture + Design

Posted on 03/20/2017

Furniture and décor are all about style, patterns, layouts and harmony. In the last few months, we’ve been working with Hockman Interiors to deliver on these values through a complete rebrand and website upgrade.

At Hub & Spoke, we’ve actually had the opportunity to work on multiple furniture store website designs, helping furniture stores and interior decorators showcase their products, as well as to provide interior design tips and insight into the latest trends in their competitive industry.

With Hockman Interiors, a small business in need of a makeover, our goal was two-fold: to update the branding and logo design to be relevant to the store’s core customer, and to create a responsive website design that would work on all devices for all customers.

The new logo, which mixes serif and sans serif fonts, centers around a strong H, using an elegant coloration of stylish black and white. The logo was designed not to distract from the furniture and decor, and its simplicity gives it the versatility to communicate the broad range of styles that Hockman Interiors can provide.

Online, we continued the minimalism of the branding through the website’s photos, layout and aesthetic.

Simple patterns and large photography break up the website’s homepage, while large typography is featured on inside pages.

The final result for Hockman? A much-needed upgrade that works for all customers looking for unique furniture, art and accessories along with a solid brand that can be carried out across the store’s print and collateral.

Are you a small business or B2C brand in need of an update? We’re here to help you online and off, with responsive website design, branding and much more.
