Chambers & Membership Organizations
Smart design saves time
You’ve got a lot going on. Economic development. Advocacy. Events. Committees. Boards. Subcommittees. That one person who always replies-all.
Andiamo Creative partners with chambers of commerce and membership organizations to create clear, accessible, and sustainable design systems that streamline your workflow.
Because your time, and your sanity, is valuable.
Chambers don’t have “customers.”
You have members, boards, staff, sponsors, neighbors, tourists, each with their own set of priorities and opinions. That’s a lot to juggle. Is your website truly up to the job?
Between membership drives, event promotion, directory management, member programs and changes in leadership, chamber websites do some serious heavy lifting, all with limited staff time.
I design for that reality — not an idealized version where everyone agrees and nothing ever changes.
What I help chambers do well (and without drama)
Modern, Not Trendy
Many chambers inherit their branding, for better or worse. I help organizations decide what’s worth refining, what’s worth retiring, and when it’s time for a thoughtful rebrand, delivered with experience and a light touch.
The result is a brand system that’s professional, approachable, easy to use, and built to last through leadership changes.
No rebrands for the sake of novelty. Just smart evolution that holds up over time.
Websites That Work
A chamber website doesn’t just need to look good, it needs to work, day in and day out, for real people with real questions.
I design websites that are functional, intuitive, and clear, so members can find what they need, staff can update content without frustration, and no one is left guessing where information lives.
The goal is a site that feels obvious in the best way, and quietly does its job without getting in the way.
Accessibility Baked Right In
Accessibility isn’t a plugin or a checkbox. At its core, it’s just smart design.
I build brands, printed materials, and websites that work for real people with different abilities, devices, and comfort levels, while aligning with WCAG best practices and reducing risk along the way.
That means clearer structure, better contrast, readable content, and interfaces that don’t ask users to work harder than they need to.
Inclusive and practical. Imagine that.
A Process That Respects Your Time
Chamber staff changes over time. Good design plans for that.
I work closely with staff to create clear processes and practical systems that don’t rely on institutional memory, or one heroic employee who knows where everything lives.
That means fewer revisions, realistic timelines, and tools that new staff can actually use.
Preserved time = preserved sanity. Nothing wrong with that.
A long-term partner, not a one-and-done vendor
Chambers don’t need flash-in-the-pan design. They need work that holds up, and a partner who makes the process easier.
I believe good design work should be thoughtful, collaborative, and if at all possible, a pleasant experience. I take the work seriously, but not myself. I show up prepared, communicate clearly, and bring a little humor to the table when things get complicated (because they always do, eventually).
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Taking the time to understand how your organization actually operates
Designing systems that are documented, sustainable, and easy to live with
Planning for staff turnover, not assuming institutional memory
Working within real budgets, constraints, and internal capacity
Outside of the occasional rabbit pulled from a proverbial hat, I bring zero drama — just smart, steady work and a partnership built on trust and mutual respect.

How We Work Together
Most chambers want clarity, predictability, and fewer surprises. Same.
Rather than reinventing the wheel for every project, I offer clearly defined packages based on how chambers and membership organizations actually operate—balanced with flexibility where it matters.
No black boxes. No vague estimates. Just a thoughtful process that respects your time, your stakeholders, and your budget.
What you can expect in every engagement:
A clear, collaborative process from day one
Discovery before design (so we solve the right problems)
Accessibility built in from the start—not added later
Practical recommendations grounded in real-world use
Clean handoff and documentation so your staff isn’t dependent on me
Pricing (for planning purposes)
Every chamber is different, but budgets still matter—especially when boards are involved.
Most chamber projects fall into these general ranges:
Brand & Website Assessments: starting at $3,500
Website redesigns or rebuilds: starting at $8,500
Brand + website systems: starting at $12,000
Final pricing depends on scope, content complexity, and timeline, but these ranges help you quickly gauge fit before starting a conversation.
Clear scope. Honest pricing. Design that holds up.
If your chamber or membership organization is ready for a website and visual system that supports your mission and doesn’t become a constant source of friction, let’s talk.
Low pressure. Clear expectations. Mild wit included at no extra charge.
