What makes AssociationCMS better?

Web, E-mail, Print, & Mobile Publishing
Put content management at the center of your communications strategy, not at the edge.  Most web CMS solutions do not support content publishing directly to other channels such as e-mail, mobile, and print, while popular solutions for email marketing, advocacy, and association management incorporate content management as an afterthought.  We believe associations, advocacy groups, and policy organizations benefit when good content management is at the center of a multichannel communications strategy.  That's why AssociationCMS Multichannel Suite allows you to seamlessly publish to web, e-mail, print, and mobile. 

Membership Focused
We understand the importance of members to successful associations and have built in dozens of features that streamline and personalize their experience on an AssociationCMS website.  AssociationCMS is designed to automate the flow of member data between the website, membership directory, Microsoft Outlook, and your association management system.  Personalized user experience, committee collaboration, and custom workflow are all designed into AssociationCMS.

Real Customization
Every association is unique, their members are different, their public audiences are not the same, and their needs change throughout the year.  We designed AssociationCMS around a decade of user centered design experience with member based organizations, policy institutions, and advocacy groups.  That experience taught us that AssociationCMS had to be designed from the ground up as a flexible solution that can be customized, not just configured.  There is nothing 'cookie cutter' about these three sites running on AssociationCMS: INGAA, Grand Challenges, Engineer Your Life.

What is Software-as-a-Service – SaaS?  Pay as you go!

SaaS is a model wherein software is hosted as a service and provided to customers via the Web.  Diamax rolls together all services and software required to maintain your  website into a competitive monthly subscription fee.

• It will cost you less to get started because you don't have to pay for an expensive license upfront.
• The total cost of ownership (TCO) of high performance SaaS software is lower than traditional client-installed software.
• You are never charged for upgrades - frequent software updates are included in the monthly subscription.
• You will experience friendly & responsive technical support from competent professionals. 
• You won't need to maintain a web server or hire a web developer.
• It will be deployed much faster than traditionally installed mid-tier CMS solutions.
• AssociationCMS is web browser based and runs on Mac and Windows.

How much does it cost to set up?

Basic set up of AssociationCMS is free - you can begin creating and migrating content within hours of enabling your AssociationCMS subscription.  Our default wireframe association website interface is included and will make it easy for you to experiment with the information architecture of your site before implementing a custom interface.

Development of your custom website interface will typically range from as little as $5,000 to $145,000 depending on the needs of your organization and your web development capabilities.  Interfaces are developed from scratch by Diamax and its partners using compliant XHTML, CSS, AJAX, .NET, and Flash.  Graphics are designed by Diamax designers, freelance designers, and partner studios.  Learn more about our custom implementation process.

How long does it take?

AssociationCMS is very intuitive so it only takes a few minutes for most people to learn how the basic content management features work.

Implementation of your custom website interface by Diamax takes only 1 to 4 months to complete.
