Case Study

Southwest Power Pool

Award winning website

https://www.spp.org/

As one of the biggest power pools in the United States, Southwest Power Pool (SPP) has the job of maintaining power grids in 14 states — no simple task. Their new responsive website, designed with Umbraco, helps SPP’s staff and partners keep the lights on and stay informed. See how Aristotle built it:

What we gained from it

We used Umbraco as a foundation for the custom development of event, document, and live grid data modules. With Umbraco’s flexibility, we were able to optimize all images and content for fast download speed, resulting in a 1,500-kb homepage and 2.6-second perceived performance at launch.

This meets the highest standards of web performance across the industry and makes the website an even more effective tool for SPP’s operations.

How it works

The new SPP.org is a case study in responsive web design that combines great aesthetics and interactive technical features without sacrificing speed. In recognition of this, several months after launch, SPP garnered the “Best Energy Website” Award in the 2016 IAC Awards Competition.
