Through stakeholder surveys, on-site focus groups, and discovery conversations with the call center, we carefully sought out opportunities that would save the NYCERS team valuable time while better serving members. **Since the site launch, the results have been impressive:** - Overall visits to the website have grown by 124%. - Pageviews have increased by 196%. - Mobile sessions have increased 171% since launch. Look below to learn about a few of the more impactful elements of this project. ### **Modern, Inviting, and Accessible** The homepage utilizes a modern, tiled design that immediately conveys NYCERS’ customer service mission, offers quick access to commonly requested items, folds in a subtle ambient video, and lets retirees know when that next payment is coming.

If further exploration is needed, we’ve set up SOLR search so members can find content even if it is buried in a PDF.
