CU Solutions Group - The Birth of a Website


Some of you might already know, but for those who don’t – we at CU Solutions Group just redesigned and launched our website. After hours upon hours of work between several of our departments, I paused to reflect on our accomplishment. Not that creating, developing and launching a website is anything unusual for our company, it’s something we do for credit unions every day, but it’s different when it’s yours.

This made me further reflect on the similarities between creating and launching a site to being a parent. (Note, I’m not discriminating between mothers and fathers …) First there’s the discussion, is this the right time for us? Do we have the time and resources to support this new endeavor? Who do we have around us to help accomplish this to the best of our abilities?

So, instead of reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and finding the best baby doctor, we put together a solid internal team of project managers, designers, writers, developers and tech help to make it all possible. Instead of purchasing the latest strollers and high chairs or fashionable baby clothes, we strove the show the best of what we could do including the most cutting edge trends and design elements, usability and SEO best practices as well as the perfect mix of all our content management system has to offer. 

Like pregnancy, the last few days are the hardest. Everyone scrambling (in a prepared, professional way of course) to get everything accomplished by the (due) launch date. And if you’re lucky, you launch without any major complications and end up with a happy, healthy website to show off to family, friends and anyone else who’ll look. 

Speaking of which, have you seen our new website? We’re very proud of it and are happy to help your credit union deliver one of its own.
