At Kuka Studios, we often see the same problem: a business is “handcuffed” to its own website.
The Transport Credit Union came to us with exactly this issue. Their old site was a tangle of custom PHP built on top of a WordPress platform. It was rigid, difficult to update, and required a developer’s intervention for even the simplest changes. In short, it was an obstacle to their growth.
The Mission: A Total Identity Overhaul
This wasn’t just a digital “reskin.” The Transport Credit Union provides vital financial services to the people who keep our country moving, and they needed an identity that reflected that strength and reliability.
- The New Identity: We designed a bold, modern logo that bridges the gap between traditional trust and modern banking. This wasn’t just for the web; it was a total brand rollout. We oversaw the transition of that identity across every touchpoint—from internal office windows and signage to physical stationery and member documents.
- Killing the Complexity: We stripped away the convoluted custom PHP and rebuilt the platform using Elementor. Why? Because we believe in giving our clients the keys to their own kingdom.
- Cost-Effective Autonomy: By moving to a more intuitive, modular design system, we’ve empowered their internal team to manage their own content. They can now update rates, post news, and manage pages without a “middleman” or a mounting bill for every minor tweak.
High Performance, Low Friction
The new Transport Credit Union site is faster, cleaner, and—most importantly—usable. We’ve replaced a technical bottleneck with a streamlined tool that works for their members and their staff.
We don’t build sites to keep clients dependent on us; we build them to perform. For The Transport Credit Union, that meant a fresh look, a unified brand, and a technical setup that actually makes sense for a busy organization in 2026.
Is your website a “custom-coded” cage? Let’s look at a more agile way to work.
