Fortis Merchant Banking Public Portal *** News appropriately put forward: subtle and prominent at the same time. * It is not clear that the animation is clickable (leads to ‘About us’ section). ** Other highlights, using attractive video. Very likely pulls many visitors deeper into the website. ** Mentioning related websites here (on the homepage, but below the fold) seems appropriate; lost visitors are immediately helped back on their way. ** Feature highlight is relevant, but seems to be dumped on the homepage in a hurry. *** Directing visitors to their right websites is heavily promoted, which is perfect. * Symbols might not be familiar enough and do more damage than good. ** Link is a lot less useful if it’s not a real login shortcut for returning users.
