Overview

About

Founded in 1905, Dickson Electric System (DES) has been the backbone of utility services in Dickson and its surrounding areas. Rooted in a deep commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction, DES stands as more than just a utility provider; they are an integral part of the community, staffed by a team that embodies the roles of neighbors, friends, and dedicated professionals. In a strategic move to elevate their service offerings and online presence, DES partnered with Powerful for a comprehensive redesign of their website.

Increasing Awareness

The new website places a strong emphasis on increasing awareness of DES’s Ignite Broadband. Powerful’s strategy centered on a customer-centric design, aimed at both attracting potential customers and retaining existing ones. The Ignite Broadband homepage features engaging content through a visually appealing layout. Customer testimonials were strategically placed to create a compelling narrative, showcasing real-life experiences and building trust among potential and existing customers. Additionally, the inclusion of an easily accessible FAQ section anticipates and addresses common queries, enhancing visitor support and streamlining the customer journey.

Improving Customer & Admin Experiences

A standout feature of the redesigned website is the integration of Crowdfiber, an innovative tool that significantly improves the customer experience. This integration allows visitors to effortlessly check the availability of Ignite Broadband services in their area, empowering them with instant information. With the help of this online tool, it reduced the volume of service inquiries handled via phone-calls, thereby streamlining the administrative process. This Crowdfiber integration exemplifies Powerful’s commitment to creating solutions that are thoughtful, responsive, and beneficial to both the customers and the organization.

Challenges

Powerful was challenged to showcase DES as both a provider of safe, affordable energy and as a cornerstone of the community-- a team of dedicated professionals who are also neighbors, friends, and partners in progress. The website needed to resonate with the community’s spirit, reflecting DES's unique understanding of local needs and its commitment to serving with a personal touch.

Solutions

To meet this challenge, Powerful incorporated an illustrated footer in the website, which became a pivotal element in bridging DES's identity with its community-driven mission. This custom footer features recognizable landmarks and landscapes from Dickson, resonating with the local community and reinforcing DES's role as a familiar and integral part of the area. This creative element effectively conveys the message that DES is more than just utility provider; it is a cornerstone of the community.

Results

The custom illustrated footer significantly enhances the connection between DES and the Dickson community. It serves as a constant visual reminder of DES’s dedication and close ties to the area, fostering a deeper sense of trust and belonging among the website's visitors.

I am proud of the seamless integration of the new Ignite Broadband department header into the new Dickson Electric website redesign. Having both sites easily accessible, not only enhances the visitor experience but also effectively communicates the their diverse range of services. This project is a testament to our team's dedication to delivering comprehensive and polished websites that not only meet the client's objectives but also elevates their digital presence beyond expectations.
