October 2026 Site of the Month

First Community Bank is a $3B community bank with locations across West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. As it grew, it needed a better experience for customers and a content management system with the technology and marketing sophistication to match. Working with ZAG Interactive, the bank launched a brand-new Xperience by Kentico site that works as a true digital branch. 

Destination Cleveland relies on their website to inspire travel, promote local businesses and showcase events across the region. After five-plus years on Kentico 12, the site carried complex code, inconsistent content structures and scattered admin access. thunder::tech moved it to Xperience by Kentico, keeping the public experience familiar while strengthening security, performance and content management. 

Watermark is a U.S. senior living operator, founded in 1985 as The Fountains, that sees itself as a wellness company rather than a traditional housing provider. Their visitors are often people researching care for a parent, so the site needs to effectively show their facilities to inspire a tour or a call with customer journeys that reflect the care they put into their housing. Working with E-Cubed Media Synthesis Inc., Watermark redesigned its site to run the corporate brand and every community website from Xperience by Kentico.

Bank of Clarke, formerly Bank of Clarke County, is a Virginia community bank growing beyond rural Clarke County into more affluent and urban markets. It needed to stay within Kentico's support window and reduce operational overhead without disrupting customers. Americaneagle.com upgraded the site from Kentico Xperience 13 to Xperience by Kentico, laying the foundation for future branding, information architecture and UX work.

National Heritage Academies (NHA) operates more than 100 charter schools, and each one needs its own online presence alongside the NHA brand. Their Kentico 13 site, upgraded previously from Kentico 10 Portal Engine, carried years of technical debt. Common issues included duplicated content and disorganization, with editors often re-uploading the same files across schools. BlueModus redesigned and re-platformed the site on Xperience by Kentico, building a modern, enrollment-focused experience.

E.ON is one of the three largest energy suppliers in the Czech Republic, delivering electricity and gas to about 1.5 million customers. Its website, eon.cz, draws roughly 40 million page views a month. With Kentico 13 support ending and a new brand design on the way from headquarters, Bluesoft combined both into one project: a full move to Xperience by Kentico, a migration of all content into the Content Hub and a site-wide redesign, completed in 16.5 months without major impact on customers. 

Michigan First Credit Union was on Kentico 13, and its approaching end of support set the timeline for a rebuild. Rather than just move platforms, the credit union chose to redesign too, improving the experience for members and boosting conversions from prospective and current members. Michigan First teamed up with ZAG Interactive once again to upgrade to Xperience by Kentico, drawing on a full suite of strategy, design, marketing and development services. 

APA Publishing is a division of the American Psychiatric Association, serving readers around the world with books and journals. Its site relies on complex membership-based functionality, letting users access and buy content at rates aligned with their membership status. i3 Digital migrated appi.org from Kentico Xperience 13 to Xperience by Kentico while keeping all of that core functionality intact, one of the many reasons teams choose to upgrade. 

For 70 years, ECI has provided customers with process control expertise, solutions and lifecycle services, positioning itself as a single source for innovative products and industry know-how. Working with E-Cubed Media Synthesis Inc., ECI upgraded its site to Xperience by Kentico. E-Cubed also launched new sites for Proconex and Puffer Venezuela, which are part of the same company. 

Total Quality Logistics (TQL) connects customers who have shipping needs with carriers that have the capacity and services to meet them. Its network of more than 110,000 carriers, combined with its technology and service, has been key to its growth. For TQL's IT team, staying on a supported platform was a top priority, so they worked with Wakefly to upgrade from Kentico 13 to Xperience by Kentico and move their content into the Content Hub.
