Kiamichi Electric Cooperative Leads the Way with First Halsey Blueprint Website from Powerful
WILBURTON, OK — Kiamichi Electric Cooperative (KEC) is leading the charge in cooperative communications with the launch of their newly redesigned website—the first-ever to use Powerful’s new Halsey promotional-based blueprint.
From modern design to member-first functionality, the website reflects KEC’s ongoing commitment to stay forward-thinking and approachable, while making information easier to access. The layout features large, visual content areas that direct visitors to key actions like paying a bill, applying for service, or exploring the KEC mobile app.
“With the first-ever website launching with the new Halsey promotional-based blueprint, Kiamichi Electric Cooperative set themselves up for success to meet their goal of being modern and forward-thinking,” said Annie Watson, Project Manager at Powerful. “The homepage was intentionally designed to put relevant and up-to-date information in front of the membership, while harvesting the power of the promotional spaces. It was a pleasure working with their team, and I can’t wait to see how the website continues to serve the team, co-op and membership.”
The Halsey blueprint features customizable promotional sections with large visuals, brief text, and buttons that encourage interaction—making it easy for KEC to spotlight timely content throughout the year. From seasonal scholarships to service updates, the new layout helps the co-op stay connected with its diverse member base.
A standout feature on the site is the Capital Credit Lookup tool, which allows members to quickly search for unclaimed capital credits. Instead of digging through long PDFs or calling the office, members can now simply enter their name and get an instant result.
“I love the simplicity and overall look of the website,” said Michelle Warmuth, KEC Manager of Public Relations. “From the easy navigation to added features like the Capital Credit Lookup tool, we finally feel like we are staying up with the time and making it easier for our members to get information they need.”
As a member-owned utility, KEC remains committed to innovation that serves its community. Their new website does just that—bridging tradition and technology to make information more accessible, communication more efficient, and service more personal.
