Investment banks have never been known to have the most well designed websites on the web. The list below was not easy to put together. Some investment banking websites, although not necessarily “pretty”, do have good user-experience and well organized content.

Recently we’ve worked on a few investment banking websites. It was great to dive into a few projects that were out of our comfort zone.

I’m very happy to announce that LocalMaven.com is now live. We have been working with them on their brand development and user-experience design for their web application and marketing website. Avex also designed the company’s logo and print materials.

Some are based on aesthetic and some on technical ability. I tend to come across a lot of websites that look amazing, but have crazy long load times. Although these websites are very eye catching and impressive, I try not to condone this practice. Just because a websites looks great, doesn’t mean a user should have to wait 10 minutes for it to load, or use a certain browser.
