Pricing
Hit the ground running! For these modest fees you get a complete online magazine, ready to accept your content IMMEDIATELY after your order is processed.
We will initialize service based on one of our standard templates. Tell us your preferred color scheme and provide your image graphics; we will adapt your organization's imagery for the site and hand over to your editor a fully configured magazine ready to receive your alumni directory data and news articles. Your site will be functional with news and roster available the next business day after your order is processed. Content can be added immediately, and appearance can be modified to create a unique site for your members.
Do you want a more customized approach, or do you wish to move an existing site to our platform? If you have existing data we may be able to pre-install it from your database or text files. We charge an hourly or daily design fee depending on the size of the project. For this you get a complete, individualized site, professionally designed in consultation between your management and our technical team. Use your own artwork or let us create an image for you. We've done custom sites valued from $1,000 to over $10,000. (Of course, you can start with a standard layout and reconfigure later.)
