What financial institutions need to understand about the legal landscape around web accessibility — the enforcement trends, the liability exposure, and how interactive tools like calculators fit into the risk picture.
Why financial product pages have a bounce rate problem, why calculators solve it, and what implementation gets the results.
Calculator placement is the single variable most responsible for the difference between a tool that drives measurable engagement and one that goes largely unused. Here is how to get it right.
