Youth for Christ Launches New Website, Chapter Sites

Youth for Christ is a Christian international youth ministry organization originally founded in the late 1940′s in the United States, that now serves young people around the world. Headstand Media connected with YFC/USA in 2009 for a couple days of digital and web media strategy sessions. Out of that experience, YFC was able to obtain funding for a massive digital and web strategy overhaul in 2010.

The new site uses a content management system called Expression Engine, by EllisLab, built upon PHP, mySQL, Javascript, CSS and other open source technologies. Headstand Media began building the new YFC website in EE in July, and the site launched during the first week of December. In early 2011, YFC also launched new websites for 5 of its regional chapters in Denver, Hawaii, Central Ohio, Fort Wayne, and Peoria.

Headstand Media helped YFC implement the web overhaul through high-level web and search strategy, and did the programming/production for the final product in Expression Engine. The end result was also built to be leveraged across YFC’s many chapter sites, a number of which in early 2011 have already launched.
