Project Description
The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) commissioned Kirvin Doak Communications and Bayen Group to redesign and modernize their College Savings Plan Program (529 Plan) website. The primary goal was to consolidate multiple disparate Nevada College Saving Plan websites into one centralized site providing an intuitive user experience for residents of the State of Nevada that will help to educate and provide all necessary information to drive participation in 529 Plans across the state.
Client Summary
- The STO oversees revenue and finances for over 3 million residents
- The target audience is future students, parents, grandparents or guardians in search of information and financial planning tools regarding higher education
Business Need
The client required a centralized, user-friendly website for the Nevada State Treasurer’s Office, combining financial solutions, scholarship information, savings plans, and loan options. The goal is to provide tools for future students and their families, helping them navigate financial planning for higher education in Nevada and promoting access to college for all residents.
Solution
Bayen Group supported KDC in the design and development of the website by meeting with the client, understanding their vision and objectives, creating mockup designs and content, and continually collaborating to bring the mission to life. They set up and configured websites running on WordPress or Drupal platforms and integrated unique features such as a ‘Book an Appointment’ option that syncs with program managers’ Outlook calendars and a ‘Request a Speaker’ feature for scheduling speakers to present at schools or other groups. Bayen Group also provides web hosting and support services for all sites within the scope of the Statement of Work.
