American Technology Services Launches Michigan Educational Credit Union’s New Website

January 23, 2012, Fairfax, VA - American Technology Services, Inc. (ATS®) announced today the successful completion of the website redesign project and launch of the new Michigan Educational Credit Union (MECU) website. This project required the creation of a new information architecture and visual design for the website, including the implementation of Kentico’s version 5.5r2 content management system (CMS). MECU was already using highly attentive managed hosting services provided by ATS, so this was a logical next step.
 
A few of the key elements required by MECU were: seamless integration of existing online services, new dynamic design and menu structure, and the development of a custom interest rate table.
 
Phillip Domzalski, Vice President of Information Technology at MECU said, “The overall response to the site from our members and employees has been fantastic. The functionality is exactly what we needed to maintain the site internally, and there has been overwhelming positive feedback on the design. We truly appreciate the team effort and drive of ATS to help us launch the site.”
 
“Our design and development team’s primary goals included giving MECU a web presence that presented a unified visual identity, brand, and message to go along with their existing identity. Another important goal was to provide them with a tool, like the Kentico CMS, that would allow them to quickly change their content on a regular basis,” said Alex Koludrovic, Vice President of Internet Services for ATS.
 
MECU is looking forward to the new website being a great resource for their current members, and also for finding new members. The CMS implementation and integration now allows content to be dynamically generated on the site by filling out quick forms. In addition, the site incorporates minimal hardcoding, which enables MECU to quickly manage the majority of the content throughout the site.
 
 
 
About MECU
Originally known as Wayne Out County Teachers Credit Union, Michigan Educational Credit Union (MECU) formed in 1942 when 28 teachers and educational employees pooled together $170 in assets. Today, they are nearly 50,000 members strong, with assets exceeding $600 million. MECU is a non-profit financial cooperative that is owned and operated by its members. The Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers who are elected by the Credit Union's members. Because MECU's primary goal is to help members, not to generate a profit, its members typically enjoy better rates and more affordable services than found at other financial institutions.
