Welcome dear CAA member!
Our website now supports member profile pages which will be featured in a Members Directory.
The purpose of the Members Directory and Profiles is to show to the public who our members are, and provide a platform for our members to showcase some of their work while linking to their own pages.
Animationcyprus.com ranks in the top results when searching for local animation on Google, so our members will have an equal opportunity to be found online. It is up to you to make the most out of this available space.
For a member to have a verified profile on the website, the minimum requirements for them to add are:
- 1 portfolio image,
- profile photo
- cover image it will appear in the Members Directory page and will be publicly visible.
- Short bio
In addition the profile can be include the following:
- Up to 9 portfolio images,
- 1 video link, (a post for your latest or featured project )
- List up to 4 services,

The animationcyprus.com website has been created by Yiannis Philiastides with the input of the rest of the CAA board members, on a volunteer basis, with the lowest cost possible. Any suggestions or direct help with the further development and maintenance of the website is welcome.
For any feedback or suggestions for improvements feel free to send a message to: info@animationcyprus.com
