iChapter Setup & Configuration

Standard Setup Packages
WMS has four standard setup packages:

- APICS Society themes can be provided in either predominantly orange (standard brand) or the same theme in predominately blue (Society's look).
- Present your organization with the branded look APICS Society prefers you represent your chapter with.

APICS Society Official Template design + Simple Graphic Collage
The only difference between the standard iChapter template and iChapter with the APICS Society Official Template design is a simple collage graphic banner ~ an extra $95.00.
The collage graphic banner is created from "royalty-free" sources and tailored for your chapter's specific region to include prominent geographical features, industries, and landmarks. The simple graphic collage provides a simple and inexpensive opportunity to set the look of your off from the crowd.

Custom Site theme
The only difference between the standard iChapter template and iChapter with the APICS Society Official Template design is the look your chapter's site, and of course the cost to develop and integrate a custom theme -- typically ~ an extra $1,000+
The custom site theme enables your chapter to stand out from the crowd with a completely unique look.

Advanced Custom Site Theme
Advanced custom site themes go beyond typical custom themes with the integration of such advanced theme elements as FLASH, custom drop-down navigation elements, etc. Costs can be "significant".
While an advanced custom site theme will be more expensive to develop, it gives your chapter a "head and shoulders above the crowd interface comparable to any of the best designs you see anywhere.

Please request a quote.
I almost forgot to share my experience at the last PDM with you. I
was asked to talk about the new iChapter web site and answer
questions for the attendees. After giving a very brief overview of
the new web site we received a rousing round of applause. Everyone I
talked with was very positive about the new site and the added
functionality.
Thanks for all your help making our chapter look more professional
and providing the functionality our members deserve.
