Community Bulletin Board:  Rates for designing pages

No charge for the first half-hour of design (this will be the case 95% of the time ) $36/hour over a half-hour (charged in half-hour increments)  

PLEASE NOTE:

Madison City Channel's Community Bulletin Board is intended to be a free service.  However, due to the volume of press releases we receive each month, resources only allow us to allot one half-hour of design time per press release.  There may be a charge for design services in excess of this time.  Therefore, please be aware that if you submit a series of press releases, or submit a brochure requiring substantial editing, or you would like to be involved in the design process, you may be charged for our services according to the above rates.

If you think that your submission may go over the half-hour design time limit, it's a good idea to contact City Channel Programming Coordinator Jennifer Hilgendorf at 608.267.8631 to discuss your project.
