SilkStart MultiChapter 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

We have seen an increase in membership renewals and retention.

Website is much easier to update, members can self serve their changes, invoicing is MUCH easier, recording payments is MUCH easier, reports are easy to create and use. Overall very happy except for the speed of the site - which means even with all these great improvements, I'm not really spending any less time.

When we launched our site back in 2009 it had all the bells and whistles. But as time went by, best practices took a new shape and Drupal snuck out the back door. The Silkstart team listened to all of our concerns, paid attention to our wish lists and threw in extra tools to make the entire site seamless. VIATEC was the first to use SilkStart's job board platform, and boy did they deliver. The Job Board was critical as it is one of our largest revenue generators, and helps attract new talent to Victoria. Job Posters can now purchase and manage their own listings, and job seekers can easily search the user-friendly platform. Transactional data is also easily captured in SilkStart. The new VIATEC.ca is not only what we were in need of, but it actually represents who we are and allows us to show off our members more efficiently. We now have an all-in-one system that is super simple and easy to maintain. As a bonus, their team quickly responds to our feedback and works with us to use their software to accomplish our association's goals. SilkStart for the win!

As the newly elected President of the Italian American Studies Association, I knew that our website required a redesign. Only three years earlier, our organization updated our website, but it had issues. I had never looked for a company that specialized in redesigning websites, so I started with Google searches. I found several companies and began interviewing each one. With each online demonstration, SilkStart became the clear leader in the responsiveness from its members to my numerous emails and features that they offered small organizations like IASA (we have approximately 500 members). Once the Executive Council voted in favor of hiring SilkStart, the one-on-one personalization that we received reinforced the confidence in our decision. The team works diligently with you and your members. In our case, the webmaster of our website and myself went through training and approved each stage of the redesign. In fact, SilkStart were willing to create certain widgets that they didn't offer as we were working together to finalize the site. The new platform works across all devices such as tablets, smart phones, and desktops. Our old website was unable to do this. Ultimately, I highly recommend Shaun and the team at SilkStart for any organization, small or big, that is looking to redesign their website.

Overall I highly recommend this software for organizations which want to promote their their members. I was very satisfied with everything they did and with how quickly they were able to set everything up because I know other products can take up to a year to be fully functional

We looked at a dozen platforms before decided on SilkStart. It was the clear leader in our investigation and we've never had a moment of regret in choosing it.

Very happy to have signed on!
