(Peru, IL :: April 10, 2015) The Horizon Interactive Awards has recognized EarthmoverCredit Union as one of the top Banking and Financial Websites of 2014. For the past 13 years, Horizon Interactive Awards has become one of the most prestigious awards in the field of interactive and creative media. The 2014 competition saw over 1,200 entries from nearly all 50 States and 27 countries around world.

These websites, videos, mobile applications, advertisements, and more were evaluated by an international, volunteer panel of industry professionals with diverse backgrounds within the interactive media and advertising industries. This process helps make this one of the most comprehensive and well-rounded processes of any interactive media competition. Each panel member focuses on the best blend between creativity and functionality for each category.

Earthmover CU and LKCS worked together to create a bold new website that included several custom applications and provided visitors with an excellent user interface. Receiving the bronze award from Horizon Interactive Awards creates excitement for the future of Earthmover and LKCS.

“When I was given the green light to redesign my website, my natural choice was to talk to LKCS to see what they could do for me. I haven’t regretted that decision once”, says Janel Cabadas, Marketing Director at Earthmover. “The whole process was quick, creative, and simple. I essentially told them my vision and they ran with it and hit everything I requested without having to compromise on design. Winning a Horizon Interactive Award is icing on the cake!”

Fox Valley Credit Union has also made headlines for their new responsive website. The Financial Brand has ranked Fox Valley Credit Union’s website as the 22nd most Inspirational and Responsive Banking Website Design. LKCS and Fox Valley used bright colors and a clean navigation to improve the online and mobile experience for each member.

“We’re on a bit of a roll having been acknowledged by Horizon and The Financial Brand in the same 2-week period”, says Karl Ribas, Director of Web Services. “We’re very proud of the work that we do, and are very appreciative of both Earthmover and Fox Valley credit unions for allowing us to play a part on their respective website redesign projects.”
