Coalmarch Partners With YMCA to Develop State-Of-The-Art Web Site
Local agency wins contract to provide tech services to one of the largest YMCAs in the U.S.
Online, November 3, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Cary, NC- Coalmarch Productions®, a leading service provider for online solutions, proudly announces a partnership with the YMCA of the Triangle to design and develop a technologically advanced Web site. Utilizing Drupal technology, the Web site will feature the advantages of all the latest Web tools to significantly increase traffic, interactivity, and search engine optimization/marketing, along with all the advantages of the exploding social media universe.
"As one of the largest YMCAs in the nation, we are excited to have a Web site that will reflect our energy and appeal to people of all ages," said Doug McMillan, CEO of the YMCA of the Triangle. "We're confident that Coalmarch will bring those elements to life in our new website."
Following a thorough request for proposals (RFP) process, the YMCA chose the advanced Graphite Web Site Package exclusively offered by Coalmarch. The Graphite package includes a comprehensive base of cutting edge and proprietary website features including unlimited pages, blogging, photo galleries, and custom contact forms. Additionally the new site will include a significant amount of custom programming. Each of the Y's 15 facilities will have their own section on the new site, with updated fitness schedules and online registration for summer camps and other programs.
"Coalmarch will design, build, and host a new Web site for the YMCA of the Triangle that will look professional, will be more functional and engaging, and will be much more search engine friendly than the current Web site," said Jake St. Peter, president and co-founder of Coalmarch. "The new Web site will be designed by our award winning graphic designers, programmed and integrated by our experienced team of developers, and launched and hosted in our proven, rock solid hosting environment. YMCA staffers will be able to easily update and manage the content of the site, and we will be on hand to support the YMCA of the Triangle moving forward."
