Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA)

PERA needed an experienced web agency to develop, design, implement, and provide technical services to improve their web presence. They chose Nighthawk because of our in-depth knowledge in website planning, WordPress CMS, user experience (UX) research, architecture, design, and implementation.

The Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association’s (PERA) mission is to administer and promote sustainable retirement plans and provide services that their members value. They serve over 475,000 current and former public employees from over 2,000 local units of government throughout the state of Minnesota. They also provide monthly benefits to over 100,000 retirees and other benefit recipients.

The Need

PERA needed big design updates to their already existing website to establish a digital presence. They wanted a vendor that had in-depth knowledge in website planning, WordPress CMS, main menu configuration, content support + management, new page layouts, accessibility standards, and hosting solutions.

The Solution

To effectively communicate with their key audiences, the redesigned website had to have an effective information architecture, user-friendly interface, relevant content, and of course reflect a custom design. The website complied with existing federal and Minnesota State website accessibility laws/rules/guidelines.
