We are pleased to welcome South Central Arkansas Electric Cooperative with the launch of their newly redesigned website. The website redesign was performed by our professional designers at InterCoastal Net Designs.
With the website redesign members of South Central Arkansas Electric Cooperative are able to view and pay their electric bills online using the convenient E-Bill Payment Center. There’s also plenty of energy saving and electrical safety tips on the site as well as an area of recipes. The Member Services section allows you to open new accounts, manage existing ones, update information currently on file, and put in a Service Maintenance or Disconnect Request.

A Pre-Pay Electric program is now available to qualified members of South Central Arkansas Electric Cooperative. The Cooperative will monitor a member’s consumption, generating a phone call or text message when the member is almost “out” of electricity. Pre-Pay Electric members can make payments by telephone through our automated phone system, online through our website, or in person at our Arkadelphia office.
The most beneficial aspect to the member, as well as the cooperative, is reduced consumption. Studies show that members who pre-pay for electric service use 10-12% less energy than those on traditional billing because they are more aware of how much power they are consuming. In turn, demand is reduced for the electric utility distribution system.

The new site built for Greybeard Rentals includes the integration of a Vacation Rental Booking Engine that streamlines their reservation process. There are plenty of new photos of their rentals added to the site and you’ll find the navigation to be more user friendly as well.
As one of our newest search engine optimization (SEO) clients, Greybeard Rentals will have regular and thorough optimization performed on their web site on a monthly basis by ICND, which in turn results in higher ranking among search results for relative keywords and phrases in their industry.
To celebrate the inauguration of their new website, Greybeard Rentals are offering the Christmas Lights Getaway Package, a chance to explore Asheville from now until Dec. 31st. while staying in one of their selected rental cabins. Included in the package is a 2-day daytime pass to the Biltmore Estate with an additional candlelight tour during the evening.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the newly designed website Jenny Isgett For City Council designed by our professionals at InterCoastal Net Designs. Attorney Jenny Isgett has formally launched her campaign for the District 3 seat in Columbia, South Carolina.

Jenny was born in the Colleton County town of Cottageville and moved to Columbia in 1995 to attend the University of South Carolina. She announced her campaign — Jenny Isgett For City Council — in late October.
The district encompasses Shandon, Wheeler Hill, the University of South Carolina and Five Points and other areas. But its boundaries are about to be enlarged because of redistricting prompted by the 2010 Census. The U.S. Justice Department has yet to give approval of changes in two of the city’s four single-member districts.
Jenny, a Shandon, SC resident who is seeking her first public office, is active in her city’s historic preservation and arts community as well as urban development issues. She holds a B.S. in criminal justice, a law degree from Campbell University and teaches real estate law at Midlands Technical College.
