Greater Providence Ymca Partners With Embolden In Launching New Website With Portals To Nine Branches

Pawtucket, RI, August 6, 2007 – Embolden Design has developed a new online presence for the Greater Providence YMCA Association and its nine branches throughout the state. The new Association site www.ymcagreaterprovidence.org will, for the first time, link to standardized feature-rich portals for each of the nine branches. All portals will be consistently branded with the same design and architecture.

“The Greater Providence YMCA Association has a long term commitment to being the most valued resource for people in the community seeking healthy lifestyles and wellness,” explained Karen Leslie, President/CEO, YMCA of Greater Providence. “With the new Association site, weare extending this commitment online by enriching our already highly trafficked branch sites. Members and potential members will be able to go to our home page, get a sense of who we are and then use it as a jumping off point to explore the offerings of all area branches.

She continued, “Embolden had a clear vision for tying the Association together aesthetically and technically and a vision for the future for integrating the site within our existing systems.”

Although all branches will be consistently branded, through similar layout, design and architecture, they will all feature distinct, dynamic content which will be regularly updated by administrators at each branch using Embolden’s enterprise-level content management system powered by DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com).

One of the most useful features on the main portal is a facilities grid which enables visitors to search for a specific site feature - such as an aerobics room, swimming pool, rock climbing wall or lake - across each branch. Other new features include: a downloadable membership application form; downloadable schedules for each branch; a virtual tour of each branch; and an opportunity to sign up for e-newsletters published by the Association and individual branches.

“Embolden specializes in developing custom applications for large nonprofits,” offered Ann-Marie Harrington, President of Embolden Design, “and we are really excited to be able to create an online presence for the Association that will be even more responsive to the way people process and search for information.We’re big fans of the Y and its mission and proud to be part of this project.”
