Websites for alumni associations, built and maintained.
Avistra suits an independent alumni association because its site has two jobs: show every graduate nearby that the group is active, and give members one place to join, renew and sign up for the next event. We build it on your own domain, with member sign-in, event sign-ups and dues in the same site, on one monthly plan, from $149 a month.
A site that outlasts the board that built it.
Officers turn over. The site, the member list and the scholarship fund's story stay with the group.
Handed over, not lost
The site belongs to the association, not a past president's personal account. When officers change, tell us who is taking over and we change who can sign in.
Events with sign-ups
Watch parties, the gala, the golf tournament or the reunion, each with its own sign-up form and a calendar view. A paid event takes a card online or is marked paid at the event.
Join and renew in one place
Membership levels, what each includes, and one application the board can approve, with reminders before a membership runs out.
A members area
Members sign in with a code sent to their email for the documents, the members-only events and a directory of the people who choose to be in it.
Scholarships people find
Who can apply, the deadline, past recipients and how a donor can help, set up so a graduate searching for the group finds it.
Arrives well when shared
Each event page carries its own title, description and sharing picture, so a link posted to the class group opens on the photograph, not a blank box.
Everything a well-made site needs.
Your site stays fast, secure and current without your attention. When something needs changing, you tell us and we handle it quickly.
Two plans. Everything included.
Design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits on one monthly plan. Care covers what most need; Grow adds the membership and event modules, booking and intake forms, and room for a larger site. Compare the plans.
A fully custom-coded site, hosted, secured and edited for you. Everything most businesses need, and nothing to manage.

- Hosting, SSL, security, backups
- Unlimited content edits (how it works)
- SEO built in
- Linked to your Google listing, if you have one
Everything in Care, plus more pages, the membership and event modules, and the forms that bring in work.
- Everything in Care
- More than five pages
- Membership and event modules
- Booking, quote and intake forms
The longer you commit, the less you pay.
Every plan starts with a 12-month commitment and the setup paid today. Commit for 18 months or more and the setup is folded into the monthly instead, with nothing due today, and discounted up to 15% at 36 months. After the term, the price returns to the plan.
12-month commitment, then month to month.
Hosting, security, backups and content edits are part of the monthly plan. Anything outside it is quoted before it costs you anything.
Above ten pages, or where the site needs more extensive work, the one-time setup goes up. It is quoted before anything starts. Never a higher monthly.
The site is plain, durable code. If you ever leave, it goes with you.
What alumni associations and chapters usually ask.
Our university gives chapters a page. Why run our own site?
Groups come to us when they are their own nonprofit, raise their own scholarship money, collect their own dues or run events of their own. The site follows your university's branding and trademark guidelines, and links back to the alumni association wherever it helps.
We run on Wild Apricot and a payment link today. Can you take it over?
Usually. Export the member list as a spreadsheet and it comes across through Add people, which shows you what it found before anyone is added. Pages, events and past news are rebuilt on your existing domain. Saved cards stay with the old payment system, so members pay through the new join page at their next renewal, into your own Stripe account.
How do updates work when the board changes every year?
Unlimited content edits are included. Whoever the board names signs in with a code sent to their email and changes dates, names and news on the page. Anything bigger they send to us, usually live the same day. The member list, the events and their sign-ups stay with the site and download as a spreadsheet. Here is how an edit is sent.
What does it cost?
Care is $79 a month with a one-time $200 setup: the custom design, hosting, security, backups and unlimited content edits. Grow is $149 a month with a $500 setup and adds the membership and event modules, intake forms and room for a larger site. Both plans carry a 12-month minimum, and a longer term folds the setup into the monthly.
