Goldenwest Receives Diamond Award For Responsive-Design Website

OGDEN, UT: April 14, 2017 – Goldenwest Credit Union was recently honored with a Diamond Award, which recognizes outstanding marketing and business development achievements in the credit union industry.

The award was presented by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing & Business Development Council, a national network comprised of over 1,200 credit union marketing and business development professionals. Awards are given in each of 30 categories ranging from advertising to community events and beyond.

Goldenwest won the category for website design for credit union’s holding greater than $1 billion in assets. Last year, Goldenwest launched a completely redesigned website featuring a fresh new look, improved functionality and enhanced content. The new website was built on responsive design, which automatically optimizes the graphics, navigation and content for viewing and use on mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. In addition, site architecture and content was strategically configured to enhance search engine optimization.

“It was extremely important to our members to have a responsive design website as one-in-three views are from smart phones or tablets,” stated Diana Windley, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Goldenwest. “The new website combined with our free app, allows our members to completely and securely manage their finances with mobile devices.”

“The credit union industry has no shortage of marketing and business development talent, but, as the name of the prize suggests, these professionals shine the brightest,” said Amber Scott, Chair of the CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council’s Diamond Awards Committee and VP Marketing & Communications at 1st MidAmerica CU.

Award winners were recognized at the Council’s 24th Annual Conference held March 29-April 1 in San Antonio, Texas.
