Hawaii National Bank Launches New Website by T8 Webware

Community Bank Enhances Online Capabilities to Bolster Wider Audience

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T8 Webware, a provider of Web development, management and hosting services for the financial industry, today announced the launch of Hawaii National Bank’s new website. The bank engaged T8 Webware to update the design of its website, improve navigation, streamline the content management process and provide up-to-date, pertinent information.

“The company’s specialized knowledge of developing bank websites, and its knowledge of banks’ compliance challenges when going about content updates, has improved our workflow process. FREEDOM8 creates a running log of every alteration made to our site, which should make auditing straightforward.”

The bank selected T8 Webware for the many benefits achieved through its content management system, FREEDOM8, which has a user interface reflective of a word processor format to enable an ease of use and workflow. FREEDOM8 includes pre-defined fonts for titles and text to ensure consistency, and it easily organizes images available for uploading. Users can also create drafts and schedule start/end times for publishing content, making the rotation of ads or special rates much more efficient.

“T8 Webware’s advanced technology gives us the ability to present an accurate image and more unified marketing effort,” said Nikolaus Daubert, web content administrator at Hawaii National Bank. “Now we can offer information that is relevant and timely. More importantly, our online initiatives can support cross sales and expand our traditional methods of promotion.”

T8 Webware’s experience building websites for financial institutions was also appealing to Hawaii National Bank. Daubert explained, “The company’s specialized knowledge of developing bank websites, and its knowledge of banks’ compliance challenges when going about content updates, has improved our workflow process. FREEDOM8 creates a running log of every alteration made to our site, which should make auditing straightforward.”

In addition to keeping product and service information current, Hawaii National Bank wanted to give customers a more functional site that they would want to visit on a regular basis. T8 Webware provided an array of features to meet that need, including up-to-date news, stock prices, local weather and even a surf report in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format.

“Hawaii National Bank has flourished for more than half a century by providing superior personalized service,” said Wade Arnold, CEO, T8 Webware. “We set out to enable the bank to use its strongest marketing tool, the website, to expand upon its character and longstanding commitment to the community.”
