It is truly a month-to-month lease subscription, and you are not locked into a long term contract.

  2. Each plan includes: Unlimited non-member records, Unlimited administrative-level users, Unlimited number of members with admin privileges for various modules, Unlimited email-based customer service support.

  3. Each plan includes a different number of features and benefits.

  4. The overall pricing consists of the Month-to-Month Lease Subscription, features desired, & initial web design set up package. The web design and set up costs range from $1,800 for template approach to $7,500 for custom package. Please note that with a template, you are limited in the amount of flexibility to make changes within the scope of the package; but for many organizations this is a great option to save money. The alternative is a fully custom designed website.
