A Modern Content Management and Digital Experience Platform for Banks and Credit Unions

Our team at Smooth Fusion has been designing and building websites for more than twenty years—and for 15 of those years, we have been working with financial institutions.  

Over the years, our team has learned a lot of best practices for designing and implementing websites for banks and credit unions. The culmination of our experience is DXFusion Financial.  

Features You and Your Customers Expect 

DXFusion Financial has widgets, modules, and features already built in to the platform — features that your customers expect when visiting a bank or credit union website.

Banner Alerts and Notifications

DXFusion Financial has built-in customizable page banner alerts and notifications. Also called notification bars, these are displayed on the top of your website and provide site visitors with important information, whether that is an alert letting them know lobbies are closed, highlighting a new product offering or service, displaying promotions, or any other important information.

It is simple. You should not only love your website, but it should be easy to use, easy to update, include everything your financial institution needs to succeed, and have options for advanced marketing capabilities that help your website stand out from all the other financial institution's websites. 

The short videos below will give you a glimpse of DXFusion Financial's capabilities. 

 

Love Your Website 

We find that many marketers at financial institutions are not in love with their website. There is no reason why you shouldn't love your bank or credit union website.  And you shouldn't only love your website, but you should be proud to drive traffic to it because you know it represents your brand and serves your customers well. 

Customer Journey and Personalization 

Get advanced marketing capabilities with DXFusion Financial. Powered by a separate software-as-a-service called Progress Sitefinity Insight, which connects to your CMS to share data between the two platforms. 

Make Changes without a Developer 

Among the most common things we hear when talking to marketers is that they are frustrated by the inability to make changes to their website without waiting on IT staff or a developer.   One of the great things about the Progress Sitefinity Platform and DXFusion Financial is that marketers not only have the tools they need to make content changes but also the ability to create new pages without waiting for outside help. 

Functionality that Financial Institutions Need 

In addition to the out-of-the-box capabilities of Sitefinity, DXFusion Financial comes with a suite of modules and widgets commonly needed on financial institution websites.  These tried and tested modules provide excellent reliability and help you save budget because you don't have to reinvent features that most banks and credit unions require. 

Easy to Use 

DXFusion Financial is built on the award-winning Progress Sitefinity content management and digital experience platform and complemented by Smooth Fusion's custom modules specifically designed for financial institutions.  Progress Sitefinity ranks among the top of easy-to-use platforms. And in this video, we will show you just how easy it is.

Long-Term Value

Progress Sitefinity has a major version release every year, and Smooth Fusion will keep your DXFusion site up to date. Your investment in writing and organizing content will provide long-term ROI. Even when you are ready for a whole new look, the underlying platform and functionality will remain. That means less expense, a faster design refresh, and less retraining.

When your branding changes or you are ready to have a new look, your UI toolkit can be updated, and even all new frontend pages can be built if desired, right on the same installation in which you have already invested. But you also may find that with the increased ease of making incremental changes to your site, your site can stay fresh without a rebuild. 

You can say goodbye to starting over.

Headless Capabilities

Progress Sitefinity is a CMS with headless capabilities. That means that Sitefinity can organize and drive content for more than just your website. In this multichannel and omnichannel world, mobile apps, digital signs, and other systems can access the content that is stored and maintained in Sitefinity.

With Progress Sitefinity as the cornerstone of your digital experience platform, you will have the power to deliver exceptional and consistent digital experiences to your customers and prospects.

A Digital Experience Platform that is...

With DXFusion, costs scale as you grow your digital experience platform. You can start modestly if you desire, expand to include personalized content and additional integrations, and eventually grow to a full Sitefinity Insight implementation to streamline analysis, gain actionable insights, and enhance your marketing effectiveness. 

Wherever you start, when you are ready for more functionality, integrations, and features, you are already on the platform you need to be the core of a complete digital experience platform.  

Progress Sitefinity CMS is ranked among the top content management systems by both G2 and TrustRadius. However, a primary reason Smooth Fusion standardized on Sitefinity more than a decade ago was because, when properly implemented, sites built on Sitefinity are exceptionally easy to maintain. The UI toolkit, design blocks, modules, and integrations that DXFusion adds to Sitefinity make it even easier to maintain the content that powers your digital experience platform.

DXFusion is a website solution that meets you where you are and grows with you. Scalability is among its greatest strengths. A digital experience platform is not one size fits all. Every organization has its own requirements and DXFusion is designed for scalability. 

Progress Sitefinity is among the most scalable platforms on the market. It provides enterprise-level stability while allowing the customer to start with robust content management at affordable licensing. Sitefinity has a whole array of powerful out-of-the-box features for you to grow into, including online marketing features and the digital analysis and personalization of Sitefinity Insight. 

Cloud hosting by Microsoft Azure also offers all the power and scalability you will ever need. We can manage the cloud hosting for you, you can manage it yourself, or you can use Sitefinity Cloud, the managed hosting offering from Progress. 

While DXFusion comes with many features your website will need, Smooth Fusion’s design and technical experience with Sitefinity enable the platform to scale to include the customizations, integrations, and additional features.

The Smooth Fusion team is experienced with privacy and security. Smooth Fusion has built secure software and managed security solutions for two decades. We maintain a formal Information Security Program, a Disaster Recovery Plan, provide annual privacy training for all employees, and have processes in place for the collection and handling of data.
