YMCA of the Suncoast Website

About The YMCAof the Suncoast The 10 branch locations of the YMCA of the Suncoast serve more than 52,000 members and program participants in Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties. The YMCA is the largest provider of school-age childcare in these counties and serve more than 5,500 children daily in a combination of over 40 locations with before and after school care, holiday camps and summer camps.

Challenge

The YMCA of the Suncoast is an assembly of 10 different branches. As such, the main page of the web site had to serve as an umbrella site. Each of the individual branches had to still be able to make use of the home page template, but also have the ability to share their own information. Different branches had to be able to post their own news and events but still be connected to the same brand and still be accessible from the umbrella site.

Solution

With the creation of an umbrella Web site, Bayshore Solutions helped the YMCA of the Suncoast link all of the different branch Web sites to a main homepage. Additionally, the redesigned Web site offered new features to visitors, including a branch location finder, event calendar, employment listing and news section. A multimedia gallery offers audio, video and images, all of which can be updated through a back-end, password-protected content management system.
