Standard Setup Packages
WMS has four standard setup packages:

- 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.

Ready to set up with iChapter?
You've read enough. Let WMS set you up with the power of iChapter and start automating your processes so we can take a load off of your volunteers.

The Fox Valley APICS Chapter started using Web Merchant Services to host our iChapter web site in May, 2008. We began conversion of our old web web site at that time. As is typical in any conversion, we had plenty of questions for the support people (namely, Sean).
When we e-mailed questions to Sean, we always received replies the same day. If the technical issue was too complex to handle via an e-mail, Sean called one of us the same day.
At all times, Sean's advice was easy to understand and fixed our
issue. We completed our conversion within a month without any major issues.
