Overview

Meet Farmers Electric & Rural Connect

Farmers Electric Cooperative Corporation (Farmers Electric) and its broadband division, Farmers Rural Connect (Rural Connect), serve their communities with a dual mission: delivering reliable electricity and high-speed internet. With a focus on modernizing their image and improving their online services, Farmers Electric partnered with Powerful to refresh their website. Their goals were clear: to present themselves as forward-thinking, create an intuitive design with easy navigation, and ensure their content stays up to date for members and staff alike.

Bridging Services with Intuitive Navigation

Farmers Electric and Rural Connect aimed to make navigating between their electric and fiber services as easy as possible for their members. With two distinct service offerings, their members needed to locate information without confusion or endless clicking. To meet this goal, Powerful introduced the Department Header package—a feature designed to visually distinguish the two divisions while maintaining a unified look under the same website umbrella.

The Department Header creates a seamless experience for members. With clear, bold navigation at the top of the page, members can effortlessly toggle between electric and fiber services without confusion. Whether they need to pay an electric bill, explore high-speed internet packages, or check outage updates, everything is just a click away.

Empowering Members Through Streamlined Access

The Department Header package doesn’t just simplify navigation– it also builds trust. By clearly distinguishing electric and fiber services, members no longer face a mishmash of content or design elements. Instead, they experience a cohesive platform that reflects Farmers Electric’s commitment to professionalism and innovation.

Beyond ease of use, the platform also empowers members by creating a sense of ownership in their interactions. The site’s polished design and thoughtful structure reflect Farmers Electric’s understanding of its members’ time and priorities. By delivering a digital experience that anticipates their needs and provides straightforward solutions, this level of care demonstrates a commitment to making members’ lives easier through intuitive, reliable tools.

Simplifying Web Management

Behind the scenes, the Department Header package also brings significant benefits to the Farmers Electric team. Managing separate web presences for electric and fiber services could have been a logistical headache, but Powerful’s solution allows staff to oversee both from a single backend. This integration streamlines content updates, saving staff time and reducing the risk of errors.

The shared administration access means that staff can upload new content, update service announcements, or make design changes for both divisions without needing to log into separate systems. For example, if a staff member needs to add a new fiber plan or post an electric outage update, they can do so efficiently from one central location. This convenience ensures that the website stays up-to-date and relevant for members while keeping the workload manageable for staff.

Through the integration of Powerful’s Department Header package, Farmers Electric Cooperative Corporation and Rural Connect now offer a modern, intuitive website that serves both their members and staff efficiently. Members can easily navigate between electric and fiber services, while staff enjoy the simplicity of managing content across both divisions from one backend.
