Pioneering the Industry Since 2004
We only do credit unions
Credit unions aren't one of our specialties. They're the specialty. Since 2004, that's all we've done, and that's why we're experts at what we do.
We were founded by former credit union marketing and IT executives. Why does that matter? Because we understand your world from both sides: inside the credit union and outside as a vendor, partner, member, and technology team.
- You wear many hats: We know your time is spread so thin you barely have time to finish your coffee.
- We know the rules: We understand your compliance requirements, approval processes, and the details that matter.
- We know the vendor landscape: We know what works, what doesn't, and how to help you avoid the cookie-cutter traps.
- We speak your members' language: We translate your story into clear, useful, member-focused digital experiences.
- We believe in the movement: Our team members are credit union members, and we believe wholeheartedly in what credit unions do for their communities.
We're here to stay. Since we started in 2004, we've watched the credit union web industry grow from a handful of competitors to dozens of vendors, many copying each other and cranking out the same cookie-cutter template websites. That's not how we work. We're not a giant corporate vendor where you submit a ticket and hear back three weeks later. We're a focused team that shows up, does the work, gets it done right, and sticks around.

Why Credit Unions Choose Us
It comes down to three things:
-
We understand your world. Marketing challenges, VP expectations, compliance reviews, board approval, member feedback — we've been through it all. You don't have to explain who you are or how your business runs. We already know.
-
We're not going anywhere. We've been doing this a long time. We care deeply about every single client and we realize that our reputation is our biggest asset. Like credit unions, we operate with integrity, honesty and transparency.
-
We give your website super powers. These days your website has the potential not just to be a true virtual branch but to be the Flagship Branch that outperforms all your physical locations. We build sites that make you proud, but the only true measure of success is how the average member feels about your website.

About Avtec
Who we are
Avtec Media Group is a credit union web design company. We design and build credit union websites, host them on Secure Hosting, and give marketing teams day-to-day control through Avtec CMS. The stack also includes AppSecure for forms, accessibility tooling, SEO and AEO, analytics, and ongoing support—one vendor for the full site lifecycle.
Yes. Credit unions are our only focus. Since 2004 we have not taken on banks, fintechs, or unrelated industries. That focus shapes how we structure navigation, rates, applications, compliance messaging, and integrations your members already use.
Avtec has built credit union websites since 2004. The agency was founded by former credit union marketing and IT leaders, and the product roadmap—from Avtec CMS to member engagement apps—has stayed aligned with how credit unions actually operate.
Why choose us
Look for a credit union web design company that ships accessible, mobile-first sites, hosts them on infrastructure built for financial workloads, and lets your team publish rate changes and campaigns without developer tickets. Avtec combines Web Design, Secure Hosting, Avtec CMS, ADA Compliance tools, AppSecure, and CU Analytics so marketing and IT share one accountable partner.
Avtec Media Group is headquartered in Bend, Oregon. We work with credit unions nationwide—clients span dozens of states—and deliver the same hosting, security monitoring, and support standards regardless of distance.
Avtec is a credit union web design company, not a generic template shop: hybrid-built sites, staff-managed content in Avtec CMS, Secure Hosting with monitoring and backups, and direct access to the team that scopes and builds the work. Long client tenure and award recognition come from that combination of focus and accountability.
