CVEC Fiber & Powerful Create New Website Design & Online Experience for Rural Oklahoma
SEMINOLE, OK — CVEC Fiber is expanding more than its broadband network across rural Oklahoma. The fiber provider, created and owned by Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative (CVEC), partnered with Powerful to develop an independent website designed around clear navigation, online service options, and a distinct identity for its growing subscriber base.
CVEC Fiber was established to address the need for fast, reliable broadband throughout the communities CVEC has served since 1939. Guided by the cooperative mission to “Improve Life, Serve Community,” CVEC Fiber’s network is expected to encompass approximately 4,100 miles of fiber and serve more than 18,000 rural Oklahoma homes, businesses, schools, and government entities.
The website gives CVEC Fiber its own online presence while maintaining a clear connection to the cooperative behind it. Electric and Fiber tabs at the top of the site allow visitors to move between CVEC and CVEC Fiber, while each organization maintains separate websites, navigation, and content tailored to its services.
Powerful applied its Alder promotional blueprint to create a modern visual identity inspired by CVEC Fiber’s existing brand. Deep blue backgrounds, bright accents, angled design elements, and community-focused photography carry throughout the site.
“It was such a fun process incorporating the unique colors and design elements from CVEC Fiber’s logo throughout the rest of their site to make it memorable,” said Stacey Horton, Powerful project manager and designer for the project. “My favorite had to have been the yellow-orange gradient which allows sections of content to stand out against the dark blue and white backgrounds.”
The brand-inspired design extends beyond the homepage to interior content, including CVEC Fiber’s visualized Outage Center. There, the yellow-orange gradient and supporting icons help distinguish information and guide visitors through important outage resources.
“This especially shines through on their Outage Center visualized page with the gradient primarily being used for icons, which aid in content comprehension,” Horton said. “Overall, this new design allows the CVEC Fiber brand to shine through while providing a clean, crisp site experience that is easy to navigate.”
The same focus on clarity shapes the homepage, where visitors can quickly check availability, pay a bill, find technical support, or explore residential, business, and phone services.
Powerful’s Rate Plans web app gives prospective subscribers another self-service option by organizing residential packages into consistent cards. Speeds, pricing, equipment details, and Broadband Facts information appear together, allowing visitors to compare plans and continue to sign-up information from the same page.
The site also features subscriber reviews and an opportunity for current subscribers to share their own experiences. Together, these resources extend CVEC Fiber’s commitment to “Improve Life, Serve Community” into the online experience, giving subscribers clear paths to information, service, and support. As CVEC Fiber continues expanding across rural Oklahoma, the website provides a distinct foundation for the next chapter of that mission.
