• Product Overview and Package Comparison

    A successful Web site is essential for any organization. Success depends on compelling content and a satisfying user experience – an experience that builds an audience, keeps them interested, and brings them back. Successful websites will provide the user with a visually appealing experience, while they find the information they need quickly and easily. Whether your goal is simply to promote events, or to fully represent the broad spectrum of activities throughout your cultural community, you need an online presence that is responsive to both your website’s visitors, as well as the organizations you serve. The Artsopolis Marketing Partnership (AMP) offers a solution that balances the needs of both the consumer and the cultural community.

    There are three packages to choose from. See chart below for a quick comparison of features. For features not included in Package B, individual features from Package A can be added 'a la carte.'

    Each package includes an initial set up fee. After the first 12 months, a subsequent annual service agreement is implemented. Please contact us directly for current pricing: software@artsopolis.com.

    Package A - artsopolis Complete

    Our Complete calendaring system offers a fully customizable, stand-alone user interface for the display of event and all directory listings, related search functionality, and a back-end administrative control panel that allows for the management of those listings. This allows clients to make frequent updates to their website text and graphics and develop earned revenue opportunities through placement and rotation of banner advertising. Modules included in this option are the core events calendar, organization and venue directories, individual artist directory, public art directory, classifieds directory, custom CMS pages, ad banner module, and more. (additional details)

    Package B - artsopolis Lite

    Our Lite calendaring system offers a more affordable set of features ideal for smaller communities. The design and functionality of the Lite version of our system is still fully customizable, but limited to the core events calendar, organization and venue directories, custom CMS pages, and ad banner module. The comprehensive system includes the front-end, stand-alone user interface for the display of event listings and related search options, and a back-end administrative control panel that allows for the management of those listings. (additional details)

    Package C - artsopolis SuperLite

    Our SuperLite calendaring system represents the most affordable version of our system and integrates directly into a client’s website. It is limited to the core events calendar module, excluding all other modules. Unlike our other two stand-alone options, SuperLite integrates directly into a client's website, eliminating the right column normally found on the Complete and Lite versions of the Artsopolis system. The SuperLite option stil includes an administrative control panel where you can add, edit and approve event listings to be included in your calendar.
