Powerful & Bandera Electric Cooperative Reveal Modernized Website
BANDERA, TX – Powerful is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned website for Bandera Electric Cooperative (BEC). This collaboration highlights Powerful’s expertise in creating visitor-friendly, engaging online experiences tailored to the unique needs of utility cooperatives.
The new website features a dynamic department header, which allows visitors to seamlessly switch between BEC’s electric and fiber services. This intuitive navigation system ensures that visitors can effortlessly find the information they need, significantly enhancing the overall functionality of the site.
“Our goal was to design a website that simplifies the visitor experience while reflecting BEC’s dedication to innovation and customer service,” said Caleigh Pickard, Senior Project Manager at Powerful. “The department header is a key feature that provides easy access to both electric and fiber services with just one click.”
The website’s premium design aligns with BEC’s mission to “Light the Grid to Empower Our Members” and its vision of “Reimagining Rural America.” The modern, clean layout and visitor-friendly interface offer an unparalleled browsing experience. Visitors can easily access important information, stay updated on the latest news, and explore BEC’s wide range of services.
To support BEC’s governance needs, Powerful also integrated a secure, password-protected section for board members. This feature allows authorized personnel to access confidential documents and information securely, ensuring efficient and effective operations.
“The new design and features are tailored to meet the needs of BEC’s members and administration, providing them with a reliable and engaging online experience,” Pickard added.
A critical aspect of the redesign is its emphasis on improving rural connectivity. Since 2017, BEC has been expanding its services to include fiber, ensuring high-speed connectivity for its rural communities. The new website supports this mission by making it easier for members to learn about and access these vital services.
To further assist members in selecting the best fiber plans, the redesigned website features a Service Plan Quiz for BEC Fiber customers. Utilizing advanced conditional logic, this interactive tool helps customers determine the best fiber plan for their needs.
The launch of BEC’s new website marks a significant milestone in the partnership between BEC and Powerful, highlighting their shared commitment to leveraging advanced technology to better serve members.
