Discover the Holiday Gift that Keeps on Giving: Website Tools from Touchstone Energy 

The holiday season is approaching, but at Touchstone Energy, we believe in the spirit of giving all year long.  

That's why we've been hard at work expanding your Touchstone Energy membership benefits throughout the whole year. From website development to customizable support tiers, we've added new tools and services designed to help your co-op thrive and better serve your members.  

Let's take a closer look at some of the incredible website perks available to you. 

Exclusive Benefits of Having a CWB or SHiNE Website:  

We've revamped Co-op Web Builder (CWB) and are excited to introduce you to SHiNE! This powerful new website platform will make it a breeze to build and manage your co-op's website. No more tech headaches! 

• Content Support: Imagine having a team of experts dedicated to keeping your website looking great and performing at its best. That's what our content support experience offers. From creating engaging content to optimizing your site for search engines (and everything in between), we'll help you make the most of your online presence. Plus, we work seamlessly with both CWB and SHiNE platforms. No need to switch to SHiNE first.  
   
• Fresh, Customizable Designs: SHiNE offers a collection of brand-new, pre-designed templates specifically crafted for electric cooperatives, statewide associations, and G&Ts. These templates are stunning and fully customizable, allowing you to easily tailor them to your unique cooperative's brand identity. 
   
• Interactive Calculators: Need a calculator to help your members understand their energy usage or costs? We've got you covered! We offer a variety of calculators that we've built based on feedback from co-ops just like yours. You can choose from one of our existing options, like our Time of Use Rate Calculator, Energy Demand Calculator, or Rate Increase Calculator. Or, if you need something more specific, we can build a custom calculator tailored to your co-op's needs. 
   
• Capital Credits Search: Want to make it easy for your members to search for unclaimed capital credits or check their capital credit status? We can create a searchable database where they can simply enter their name and see their balance. We can even customize the look and feel to match your co-op's branding. 
   
• Peak Alert Meter: This feature lets you easily communicate with your members when your co-op is experiencing high demand. You can add it anywhere on your website, but most usually choose their header so it’s easy to see.  
   
• Embedded Social Feeds: Want to make it easy for your members to see what you're sharing on social media? We can embed your social feeds right onto your website! That way, they don't have to leave your site to check for updates. It's especially helpful during chaotic times, like widespread outages, when you want to keep everyone informed. 
   
• Secondary Sites: We can help you build secondary sites tailored to your specific needs. For example, you could create websites for affiliated businesses, internal communications, or special initiatives like Youth Tour or economic development. The possibilities are endless! 

Don’t wait to enhance your co-op's online presence.
