Artist Directory

This module can be interconnected with the Public Art module or stand on its own as an elegant way to showcase your local cultural community. Artists have control of the content of their profiles, and customized widgets allow these artists to display on your homepage, if desired.

Module

Classifieds

Interconnected with the Organization Directory, this module allows for postings of jobs, auditions, volunteer opportunities, grant windows...you name it! Listings are categorized for end user ease of use and must have an expiry date so site administrators don't have to worry about taking down listings.

Module

Syndication

Does your community want one place they can enter events, and would like them to show up in multiple places? This can be achieved with the Syndication module. Share your content with filterable feeds for community partners to use in the form of API, JSON, XML, RSS, ICS/ICAL and our Artsopolis WordPress calendar plugin.

Add-On

Business Directory

An add-on to the Organization Directory module, the Business Directory creates a map of 'What's nearby' businesses for each event listing. The directory is also searchable, or can be suppressed from displaying in the Organization Directory search results.

Module

Advertising

This flexible and functional module is the most common way our Network monetizes their sites. It allows both standard IAB and non-standard banner sizes. Formats include GIF, JPG, PNG, and video ads. Ads can be grouped in rotations. The module also provides important tracking measures like impressions and clicks, as well as defining start and end dates for ad runs.

Tell your stories.

We chose to build our platform on the versatile WordPress framework, which means the Blog module comes free with every Artsopolis platform package. See how our Network Member, NowPlayingToronto.com, is leveraging that capability into an editorial-style online magazine.

How We Can Help You

Feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of manually entering data into our system?
Perhaps the thought of teaching yourself to use a new platform is too much to do on your own?
We can help with that, and a host of other common issues when transitioning to the Artsopolis platform.

Data Normalization

As part of the start-up development phase it is common for our clients to request content from an older database be transferred to and normalized for their new Artsopolis website. Or, they may wish to import new information they have compiled in a spreadsheet, such as organization, venue, artist, or public art information. Rather than using manual entry, our developers can take care of this process.

Brand Integration

Artsopolis is a white label platform. As part of the start-up development phase we engage in discussions and decision-making processes to help your team determine how best to implement your existing branding and design elements within our system. Additional custom CSS development can be undergone as a separate custom development project,.

Training

As part of the start-up phase of development, Artsopolis provides training for your content management team to orient them both on how to use the administrative control panel and how to navigate the front end user dashboard. One additional follow-up training, while still in the start-up phase, is available upon request at no additional charge.
