The Full Membership is intended for artists or businesses who want a website but don't want to create, maintain and advertise a whole website. We have a cost-effective solution that does not display pop-ups or advertising from our site, other than a button for visitors to return to the Artists In Canada home page. Our button is not displayed on business sites.

Full Memberships are available for 1 or 2 year terms, with some differences between Artist Full Memberships and Business Full Memberships. In the following text, information specific to a membership type ( Artist or Business ) or to a term ( 1 or 2 years ) will be indicated as such.

Information for Artists

Artists can use our custom program to create preformatted pages based on the information the artist types into forms from our Members Area. Creating a great looking web site is as easy as filling in the blanks and hitting the 'submit' button.

Information for Businesses

We can build custom websites that work with our program, allowing clients to keep their pages current without update charges.

Artist Sites

Artists can use our custom program to create several preformatted pages as follows:

- The homepage has a menu for navigation to the other pages, a short introduction for site visitors and a table of thumbnails the visitor may view. The introductory text is optional, so this page could be created entirely by the program.

- The C/V page contains information about the artist. The C/V can be in text format that the artist types in, or a scanned image that is uploaded. If the C/V is typed in, there are a commands to allow the artist to format fonts. For example, the artist can select the font size, boldness, display italics or add an underline.

- Individual image pages. The artist uploads thumbnails and full-sized images to our database by selecting files from their harddrive using our program. When the images have been uploaded, the artist adds the information for the image; title, size, price, etc. Images that are part of a series can be grouped together. From this information, the program is able to create individual pages for each image and include the thumbnails in the table of thumbnails on the artist's home page.

Business Sites

The same program used by artists can be used by businesses to create and maintain their pages. Custom pages can be mixed with the program generated pages. For example, a gallery could have a listing of artists with a thumbnail for each, and then have entire artist sites linked to each thumbnail. Similarly, businesses can use the C/V program to format text documents, such as newsletters, and store them on their site.

Note: the colours on the page have been kept simple for this sample and can easily be customised.

Artists In Canada does not host dot com websites at this time, but we do set up directories for full members on our server. This provides a unique internet address so they can advertise their site on search engines, business cards, their resume or other correspondence. It also allows visitors to go directly to their webpages without going through the Artists In Canada search engine.
