We are very happy with our Finalsite Advantage experience! I could not imagine going through a website redesign, while also running our communication and marketing office without this service. We are so happy with the result of our new website and we’re proud of the internal communication projects we were able to tackle simultaneously. Each week, we work on a new idea and initiative and our communication and marketing efforts have been totally revamped.

Tracy has been knowledgeable, supportive, proactive, and timely. She has met us where we are, rather than criticize or state 'this is what you should have been doing'. Our meetings are always productive, and she’s quick to respond to emails and questions. It feels that her office is just around the corner rather than halfway across the globe.

Tracy Tigchelaar and the entire Finalsite Advantage team have been invaluable to us. Tracy gives us the edge that our school needs to stay on strategy in all areas of communication, and in all facets of our website. She is always available to us for advice, guidance, and assistance, even in a pinch. We could not be our best Mead without her!!

The support we have received from Finalsite Advantage has been invaluable. There is no question that we have achieved a higher quality result than we were capable of producing with just our internal team. Our school got a substantial facelift - website, branding, strategic planning, and communications - that will continue to benefit us for years to come.

Finalsite Advantage: Custom Project Pricing
Like every consulting engagement, pricing depends on the scope and scale of the work.
Advantage offers you access to a new kind of partnership, providing ongoing, targeted, strategic advice and personal support to help advance your school’s mission and vision for the future. Advantage projects kick off with an intensive discovery phase of meetings with you and your stakeholders, virtually or in-person on campus. Your consultant will then create a tailored list of recommendations and critical action items for to review. Fees for the discovery phase begin at $7,000. Annual rates for the ongoing implementation support vary depending on the amount of support.
