Pricing for Website

Standard features

The basic Connected Sound site is chock-full of powerful features. These are all the things that come standard with every Connected Sound site:

The Perfect Design

Choose from a rich set of designs that have been created especially for barbershop quartets and choruses.

"KickStart" Content

When we put your site up, you don't get a bunch of blank pages. You get a complete, working site. All the essential pages typical of a quartet or chorus website are already live, complete with starter content on each page, with your name and info worked into the text.

Update Your Own Content

Once your site is up, you take control. No more "waiting for the web person" to update your months-old content. Log in easily to your site any time, right from your browser. You can edit your text in seconds. You can manage pics and audio with point-and-click ease.

Members Only Section

This is a must for most choruses - an area on the site that only your members have access to. Upload learning tracks, publish notes on coaching sessions. We give you the tools to keep your ladies, and your sound, connected!

Audio Player

Every Connected Sound website comes with a stylish and easy-to-use audio player on your audio page. Your fans can hear your latest competition performance, or new songs you're working on.

Choruses get a free second audio player that only members have access to. Great to distribute "learning tracks," or to share new song ideas.

Photo Gallery

All our sites also come standard with a clean, smart looking flash photo gallery so you can share visuals as well as your sound.

Unlimited Email Accounts

Set up as many of your own email accounts as you want with your domain name. We make administration of your gang's emails point-and-click easy.

Free Domain Name

You are reading correctly. If you get a new domain name with us, there is no charge. No annual domain fees, never will be. If you already have a domain name you're happy with, we can transfer it over to our server for no charge.

Events Calendar

Let your fans know when and where your next gig will be with our user- and visitor- friendly Events Calendar. Add new gigs to your Events page with a simple interface, and make sure your fan base comes out to support your next performance!

"Join Us" Section

For choruses, a major purpose of your web presence is to attract new members. That's why we've taken special care to develop a great marketing campaign for you. An effective set of "Join Us" pages are already laid out for you to help encourage some fresh faces to come in and give it try.

Press Kit

A press kit is an excellent publicity tool! Make it easy for the media to get all the facts about your chorus or quartet. We've given you a head start with a Press Kit page reserved for promotional photos, downloadable documents and more.

Additional Web Features

As comprehensive and sweeping as the basic feature set is, we offer a number of other features that quartets and choruses find useful. All prices are one-time setup fees.

Singing Telegram Package ...............................................................................................$49

Raising money for your growing chorus every Valentines Day and Mothers Day just got really easy. With this package you get a great ad campaign page, a sign-up form, and a paypal button, all integrated and set up for you. This one pays for itself dozens of times over.

Guestbook .........................................................................................................................$14

Let your fans show their love for you, and let others see how much you're loved with this must-have gem.

Search Engine Booster ......................................................................................................$19

Now you have a great website, and you want to get it out there. We'll give your rankings on all the major, and many small ones, a major boost.

Upload My Audio ..........................................................................................................$39.99

Have a CD, but aren't sure how to make mp3's? Let us take care of it. Send a copy of your CD to our mailing address and we'll convert the tracks into mp3 files and upload the music to your audio player. Then, you can organize your tracks with ease using the audio management page that comes with your site.

Pricing for Business Cards

Great Design

A beautiful business card is an invaluable tool for quartets to get gigs, and for choruses to get gigs AND attract new members. Hand them out at parties and shows. They work like crazy.

Integrated Look

Every Connected Sound web design comes with a matching business card design, so your look is guaranteed to be integrated. We'll send you proofs before sending it off to the printer.

Quick Turnaround

Once we submit your design to the printer, your cards will be in the mail to you in 3 business days. Future prints are equally quick.

Pricing for Email Newsletter

One challenge of website management is getting visitors to come back. The email newsletter solves that by putting your brand in your visitors' inbox.

Our newsletter feature has its own interface within the management area of your website. You can write and instantly send newsletters, manage your mailing lists, and view bounce reports. Whenever you have a show or other event coming up, fire off a well-designed email to your fanbase. Send out periodic reminders to come look at changes to your site. Now you've got some marketing going on.

Great, Integrated Look

As with the Business Card, your newsletter ties in to the look of the website.

Starter Content, Easy Editing

We have typical newslettery content already loaded for your first mailing. And as with the website, we give you the tools to easily edit your newsletter.

Subscription

You get a sign-up form on your site so visitors may subscribe to your mailing list.

$5 a Month?

Yup. Constant Contact and MyEmma all charge around $30/mo. We have roughly the same technology, we just choose to give you a great deal.

Pricing for the CafePress Store

Raising money for your chorus or quartet from friends, family, and fans is a no-brainer with the CafePress store. We put your design on dozens of fun products, then load them right onto your site. With a one-time setup fee, this one pays for itself with a couple of sales. The rest is all yours.

Dozens of Products

We'll put your design on your dozens of fun products, from T-shirts, sweats, jackets, and hats, to mugs, buttons, and magnets. Great branding, a great reminder to your fans, and of course - a great fundraiser.
