Hello Seniors!
You have finally reached the final chapter of your training and it's time to start looking towards graduation and taking the leap to NYC, LA, or wherever you hope to land. An integral part of starting your career is ensuring you have a strong digital presence that can be a calling card for Agents and Casting Directors as they get to know you in these early days.
Chisholm Designs wants to make sure that you make the best possible impression as you start your journey.
Having gone through the Showcase process and those frenetic first months in the city myself, I have long made it a goal to help other artists ease through the this transitionary phase. This new offering hopes to achieve just that.
Senior Sites: $1700$475
A website is a dynamic organism. It will grow and change as you do. The website you have upon graduation will not be the website you have/need 12 months down the road. You will have grown and your career will need something that accurately matches its trajectory.
It is about having a site that fits you in the present.
This new offering from Chisholm Designs aims to create an affordable, customized, site for the beginning of your journey that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but still offers effective, responsive design.
There are a number of build-it-yourself website platforms out there today, some with which you can find varying success while using. They make it easy to build a site from a template, but you have no freedom in ensuring how that site looks across devices. You become locked into that template and there is usually very little freedom to adapt or customize it. We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice having an effective, responsive site just to have a more cost effective option.
The Chisholm Designs Senior Sites offer:
Custom built site that is seamlessly structured to look its best on any device or browser
5-Part single scroll site that contains all of the most important information sought by Agents and Casting Directors (Landing Splash, Bio, Media, News, Contact)
2 rounds of Edits prior to launch
Post- Launch Updates included through the end of 2025.
The goal is to give you a powerful digital footprint to begin your journey. After that, you choose where to go next.
Choose your own adventure
Okay. You graduated. You showcased. You moved to the city(whichever city it may be.) You are auditioning, preforming and signed with the agency of your dreams. All in the first 6 months post-graduation. You are a rock star. You feel like you are establishing yourself, and feel like you may have outgrown your showcase-era website.
What Now?
We have created a few paths forward for you to choose from, each to fit a variety of different needs.
1 - Keep Going
Continue with the current site -- you feel like it still is serving you well. It may be time to update some photos, but the structure is still the same.
We move you to an annual update fee like all our other clients. $150/year covers all updates and maintenance and updates for that calendar year. You booked a job? Email us the details and we will get them on the site. New Photos? Send them and we'll add them to the media Gallery. Whatever edits you need, just send our way and they will be up within 48 hours.
Cost:
Updates: $150/year $100/year
2 - Let's Grow
We build out your site into a more customized, expanded version. You want something that is different than the normal website formula? Let's do it! You have some other aspects of yourself you want to highlight? (A side hustle, or skill sets outside the norm?) Let's build a site together that is a full representation of who you are as an artist.

3 - Take The Wheel
We believe in giving artists agency in every aspect of their career. That includes their website. If you want to implement updates and make changes yourself, we are happy to guide you through it. This can be applicable to Either of the options above. We will transition admin control of the site to you and provide a walkthrough of the design basics of Webflow (The platform we build on.) Then give you the keys and let you do your thing. should you ever need help, we will be available to our Senior Site clients for a discounted hourly rate ($60/hr.)
*I completely understand if these numbers are scary. We spent a long time figuring out a way to bring you custom websites for a fraction of the normal cost. Our client websites begin at a base rate of $2000+, with a yearly maintenance fee of $200.
Let's Get to work!
All of your hard work has paid off and you are ready to take the next step. Chisholm Designs will craft a personalized website to highlight who you are today, and grow it into who you become tomorrow.
