Easy process

Getting a ZippySite™ for your business or nonprofit is quick and easy.

Gather

We learn about your brand, vision, and goals for your site. We review your logo and identify any challenges. We receive rough copy and images from you (if you have any...otherwise, we'll just pull it together ourselves). Optionally, we can even come on site to shoot photos and video footage.

Design

Our professional designers build your site, keeping your goals in mind. We refine your logo if necessary (or create one if you need it). We refine the content in the context of the design and draw the pieces together into a cohesive and fully functional online presence. Your feedback guides our collaboration.

Launch

Once you approve the site, we ensure your site's SEO is up to snuff and arrange with you to secure a domain name (if you don't already have one). On your nod, we launch. Post-launch, we help you make updates if you have questions. You receive ongoing usage reports on how your site is performing.

Your ZippySite™ includes everything you need for a great online presence.

FAQ

  • Is a ZippySite™ only appropriate for a smaller entity?

    A ZippySite™ is not a sprawling website—so deeper content might be better accommodated via a traditional site. But we think a ZippySite™ is just right when it comes to most people's attention-spans. These are great for microsites, too...a standalone site that focuses on a particular topic, like a capital campaign, a special event, a new product, etc.

  • How long will my ZippySite™ take to build?

    Your site can be ready in "about a week." It takes some time to pull all the elements together and to make sure that the site is up to our high standards before you review it.

  • How many edit rounds are included?

    We'll edit until you start to edit your edits!

  • How do you do these for so little?

    First, we are an experienced group of creative professionals. Second, we optimize our efficiencies using every tool at our disposal, including in-house elements, AI-assistance, and more. But we don't cut corners on quality. We're designers, and we take pride in the craftsmanship of every site!

  • Is there a monthly expense?

    There is a $30 per month hosting and maintenance fee. This covers hosting as well as ongoing maintenance support of up to two hours per month. So if you have a question or need some help, it's covered!

  • Can we log in to view stats and edit our site?

    Absolutely! It is really easy to log in and to see site stats or make edits. Indeed, we think our platform is one of the most intuitive experiences on the market today.

  • What's Fathom?

    Fathom is a full-service design agency based in Mechanicsburg, PA. ZippySite™ is a product of Fathom. Fathom has been in business for over 25 years and is well-known for its commitment to quality. In addition to serving small businesses and nonprofits, Fathom also serves some very large national entities. We created the scope of ZippySite™ to enable us to do maximal good for a minimal budget. It is an experiment for us, but one that we can support on an unlimited basis! Learn more about Fathom here.

  • What's GivingTools?

    GivingTools integration is included with any ZippySite™ , if you would like it. This is an online giving platform we created which serves hundreds of nonprofits throughout the US. For ZippySite™ customers, we provide our Flex plan with no added cards processing markup, which is a great deal. Basically, for no added monthly expense, you get cards processing as low as 2.9% + 30¢ or ACH processing for 50¢ per gift, regardless of gift size! You can learn more about GivingTools here. Need a different giving platform? We can use that instead.


  • Can I see some samples?

    You are actually looking at a ZippySite™ right now. This site was built on our platform and is  within scope. 


    ZippySite™ is a new service for Fathom, and a new business model. We are accustomed to charging a lot more for web design and building it in Wordpress. That's one reason we are offering ZippySite™ from its own microsite...and at such a great pricepoint. 


    We'd love to make your site one of our samples! 

  • Are there any "surprise" expenses?

    If we told you, it wouldn't be a surprise! No, seriously, other than hosting and the fact that you need to snag a domain name (if you don't already have one), there are no added expenses involved. 


    Of course, if you wish, you can expand beyond the scope of your ZippySite™ (a more elaborate logo for your business, a explainer video, a video background, an ad campaign, etc.). Those additional services cost extra.

  • Is this a limited-time offer?

    As the ZippySite™ service grows, we will determine if the pricing and scope structure needs to evolve. So, no guarantees. But we do not have immediate plans to hike the price!
