Hire a designer - the UI and UX could use some work. Here's some of the design feedback I'd give you: - You're not utilizing the whole width of the page, and the table looks pretty compressed, making it difficult to read. - Y

Sweet! I wonder if there's a way to gauge public opinion on these links - one of the apps obviously has some awful reviews on iTunes (Vapor). It'd help keep people away from apps that are doing malicious things like stealing contacts and up

I wonder if they realize how unreadable those posts are - they look like mindless ramblings. It took me a few minutes to realize it was an interview/chat.

While my credit union also fails on this, I'm not a fan of drop-down menus for navigation. The gold standard for UX/UI as far as banking is concerned is Simple. https://simple.com/

The site itself is a bit weird. Most of the content looks like it's loaded in via AJAX, and on a slower connection it's pretty jarring. Clicking on "See All" initially shows the "About Us" section of the page, which caused me to think I cli
