Client Testimonials
You can’t go wrong with the Powerful team! They are fantastic to work with and so good at what they do. Our site redevelopment was completed on schedule and within budget and the end result is better than we could have hoped for. They are responsive to our needs and can work with staff from all parts of our organization to ensure we get done what we need to get done. Their project management and design teams are fantastic, and their support is responsive and friendly to work with. We trained several of our staff on the use of the site, and it’s easy for us to pop in and make adjustments as needed. I honestly wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.

Team Comments
The Hood River team came to us with a clearly defined vision of brining to life a website that makes it easy for their member-owners to navigate to the tasks that matter most to them quickly and easily, while simultaneously merging their broadband internet subsidiary into their main cooperative organization.
This came with a rebranding effort and a slight name change. Working subtle nods of their heritage and classic “pear and apple” logo into the watermark of the footer added a local feel that complimented their beautifully crafted footer illustration and their new design.
Intentional efforts were made to tear down walls of words and reimagine content on interior popular interior pages created a warm and engaging experience for their site visitors.
