Vieth Consulting was started in 2000 by Chris Vieth with the goal of providing cost-effective, website design services for businesses and organizations.

Chris' experience in website design and online systems development for associations was born out of direct experience with local associations in Lansing, Michigan. Starting out with an event calendar that could be updated by an organization's officers, Chris then added a Member Database that would automatically update an email list-serv, allowing officers to easily send out broadcast emails. After that, features were continually added- more sophisticated reporting tools, allowing the users to print out mailing labels and roster lists, online new member sign-up, membership renewal processing, surveys, online discussion groups, website member's only area, event registration, event invitations.

It quickly became apparent that different organizations, large and small, could take advantage of the features of these systems. All of them were wrapped together under the title of Member Management System. It's now shared by a growing list of organizations who have access to it on a subscription basis, priced in a tiered structure so that it's easily affordable by all organizations regardless of size.

Chris' hometown is Panora, IA. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1993 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. Chris has been working as a software developer for 10 years and has been doing website design since 1998. Chris currently lives and works in the Lansing area with his wife Laura.
