Websites for chapters, chambers & associations
Growing your membership shouldn’t raise your software bill.
Ametide gives your organization a website your board can actually run — members, events, dues, documents, and email in one place. One flat price, no matter how big your contact list gets.
Built and maintained for you. No setup fees hiding in the fine print.
Based on Wild Apricot's published 1-year prepay pricing, checked August 16, 2026. Ametide Managed is billed annually and includes hosting, maintenance, member email, and an hour of changes each month.
Notice the gap between 2,000 and 5,000? There is nothing in between. Grow past 2,000 contacts and your bill jumps 83% overnight — for capacity you did not ask for. Ametide is the same price at 400 contacts or 4,000.
Why boards call us
Two complaints, over and over.
We hear the same two things from every chamber director and chapter president we talk to. Ametide exists to fix exactly those.
The price climbs as you succeed
You’re not billed for members — you’re billed for contacts. That’s every name in the database: your mailing list, event attendees who never joined, and every member who lapsed in 2019. Build the newsletter list, which is exactly what a chapter should do, and the invoice goes up. Ametide charges one flat rate whether the database holds four hundred names or four thousand.
Nobody on the board can figure it out
Your treasurer is a volunteer with a full-time job. They don’t want a content management system — they want to post the minutes and open registration for the October lunch. Ametide replaces the maze with short forms: fill in the fields, press publish, done.
What’s included
Everything a chapter runs on, in one login.
Your board sees one dashboard. Membership, registrations, payments, email, and traffic — without logging into four different systems to assemble the picture.
Member accounts
Members log in, renew, and update their own details. Member and non-member pricing applied automatically at checkout.
Event registration
Free or paid, with two price tiers and capacity limits. Registrations land in your dashboard, not a spreadsheet.
Dues & payments
Card payments through Stripe, straight to your chapter’s account. No middleman holding your money.
Member email
Newsletters and announcements sent from your own domain, properly authenticated so they land in inboxes instead of spam.
Document library
Minutes, bylaws, and forms — public or members-only with one toggle. The thing your secretary actually needs.
Board & sponsors
Board roster and sponsor wall that update in seconds when officers rotate or a new sponsor signs.
Works on a phone
Members register and look each other up from their phones. There is no separate mobile site to maintain.
Treasurer’s export
Revenue by category — dues, events, sponsorships — as a clean export for QuickBooks and the board packet.
You own it
Your domain, your content, your member list. Leave whenever you like and take the whole site with you.
FOR CHAPTERS OF NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Stop reconciling that roster by hand.
If your national office sends membership data as a giant export — every person who ever joined, in one file — somebody on your board is comparing it to your member list row by row. That someone is usually doing it on a Sunday.
UPLOAD
Drop in the export exactly as national sends it. We map the columns once and remember them.
REVIEW
Ametide shows you what changed — joined, renewed, lapsed, new employer — as a list you approve. Nothing happens silently.
DONE
Your roster updates. Chapter-only members are left untouched. Next month takes five minutes.
Pricing
Published, flat, and the same at any size.
You’ll never get a renewal quote that went up because you did your job well.

Who’s behind it
We run a chapter too.
Ametide is built by Purple Wave Creative, a Ferndale, Michigan studio that also serves as chapter executive for a professional risk management association. We plan their events, send their email, chase their sponsors, and yes — reconcile their roster.
That’s the whole reason this exists. We got tired of paying a lot of money for software that made a volunteer board’s life harder, and we knew enough to build the alternative.
When you call, you get the person who built your site. Not a queue.
Take a look before you decide.
We’ll walk your board through a real chapter site — including the admin side, so you can see how simple it is to run. Twenty minutes, no pitch deck.
