Congratulations to Muskegon Federal Credit Union on the launch of their brand new website!
When we sat down with Muskegon Federal Credit Union initially to talk about the design and build of their new site, they noted that they wanted something easy to navigate, mobile responsive, easy to edit and would allow for them to showcase their services and promotions.
The new site features a clean design that uses SVG images and font icons for clearer graphics on high-resolution displays. In addition, the site includes a sticky navigation, which gives users full access to the menu even when scrolling on pages with heavy content, as well as ease of finding their routing number, phone number and the ability to contact or apply for a loan, as these items display on every page. The front page features online banking login, a full-width banner to showcase their latest promotions as well as a News & Information section, which focuses on the credit union’s most popular services.
Head on over to their new site to check it out!
On April 22nd WordPress.org officially announced that they will be ending support for Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10, beginning with WP 4.8. This is due to Microsoft discontinuing support for these browsers back in January 2016. The lack of updates define these browsers as security risks, and are considered to be “holding back WordPress development” according to Matt Mullenweg, founder and CEO of WordPress’ parent company Automattic.
Global Internet Explorer usage has been declining for years, and now sits at just 4.18% of all internet users. Combined, only 0.91% of users are utilizing IE 8, 9, or 10.

If your internet speed seems to be dragging behind lately, try some of these correctional techniques to revitalize your connectivity.
Perform local updates
Slow speeds can be caused by a lack of updated tools.
Cables and such
Old Ethernet cables can potentially slow your internet speeds to a crawl. These cables are split into categories, and are noticeably different from each other. Lifehacker has a great article explaining these differences. If possible, try switching to fiber optics. It may cost you a pretty penny, but the boost you gain from running fiber can make it worthwhile. Get in contact with your Internet Service Provider to see if this is a feasible solution for you.
Do some spring cleaning
Your computer may be caught up running background processes that suck up your bandwidth. If you are running Windows, delve into your Task Manager and kill any running processes that you know you don’t need. On A Mac, use the Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. And once again, Linux users can check using command line prompts or loaded management programs.
If these solutions don’t seem to do enough, you may want to consider switching ISPs, or making some technical investments. Or just ask your neighbor for the WiFi password with false promises of only using it one time.
