Powerful Partnership Lights Up C&L Electric Cooperative’s New Website
STAR CITY, AR– When your mission is to keep the lights on, you need a website that shines just as brightly. That’s why C&L Electric Cooperative Corporation (C&L Electric) teamed up with Powerful to reimagine its online presence. With a focus on intuitive navigation, modern design, and accessible tools, the new website is set to empower the rural Arkansas communities C&L Electric has served since 1937.
The redesign combines aesthetics with functionality, balancing C&L Electric’s cooperative values with its deep connection to the communities it serves. Caleigh Pickard, Project Manager at Powerful and Arkansan, shared her excitement about the project. “This redesign embodies what C&L Electric stands for—reliability, community, and innovation. It’s been especially meaningful to work on a project that directly benefits local members.”
The new site introduces a range of improvements to meet members’ needs, including a streamlined application for the C&L Electric Lineman Scholarship. Designed to simplify the process for aspiring high-voltage line workers, the custom online form allows applicants to upload required documents and submit their applications seamlessly—even from a mobile device. The easy-to-use interface ensures more students can engage with the opportunity, while administrative tools make managing the program more efficient for C&L Electric’s team.
Paying bills, another key priority for members, has also been simplified. A prominent homepage section highlights payment options with direct, visually engaging pathways to services like online bill pay, automatic payments, and pay-by-text. This intuitive design ensures members can easily adopt digital tools, increasing convenience for both the cooperative and its members.
Every aspect of the site’s design, from its cohesive color palette to its seamless layout, reflects C&L Electric’s goal of providing members with a welcoming member experience. By blending timeless cooperative values with modern design, the website serves as both a practical tool and a digital embodiment of C&L Electric’s mission.
