Nomination Title: The New and Improved PioneerMilitaryLoans.com

When was this site or blog first published? 1999 originally; re-done in 2012 (the subject of this entry)

Briefly describe this site's objectives and how it has met those objectives (up to 125 words):

PioneerMilitaryLoans.com helps military service members obtain unsecured personal loans. In 2012 it was completely redesigned to improve functionality and update the appearance. The result not only looks fantastic, it also features:

-- Responsive design: The site knows what type of device a visitor is using (computer, tablet, smartphone) and automatically sends the visitor to the corresponding version of the site

-- Secure Socket Layer encryption: For the *entire* site

-- IP geo-location: Provides users within 100 miles of one of our offices an auto-updated module that features the closest office’s address, a map to it, and relevant links

These features are impressive by themselves, but when compared to our old site (see included images of the old layout) the new PioneerMilitaryLoans.com is truly an achievement.
