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. Visit yfc.net , and check out the new Denver , Hawaii , Central Ohio , Fort Wayne , and Peoria chapter sites. Continue reading

Content Management System The new site, designed and built by Headstand Media, uses Adobe CQ5 content management software to deliver an optimized experience for the hotel’s clients.

Nightstand 18 – Creating a Successful Informational Website
Kyle Williams – SEO Strategist Headstand Media resumes our Nightstand series on February 10, 2011. Kyle Williams will present on the process he follows when developing a content-driven web business. Broken down into five steps, this process covers the brainstorming phase through promotion and generating revenue. Less technical attendees can expect to leave the presentation with a process to follow when creating their own informational web business. More technical attendees will be able to take this process and immediately get started without the help of an outside consultant. A variety of topics will be touched on in this presentation including: search engine optimization, keyword analysis, WordPress development, hosting and revenue generation through advertising channels. About Kyle Williams Since 1997, Kyle has been creating content driven sites with a focus on revenue generation from advertising, and search engine traffic. What started as a hobby, selling strategy guides for a popular video game through the Amazon.com website, lead to the development and sale of Survive Outdoors, Inc., an informational portal on various wilderness survival topics. Additional informational websites Kyle has developed on his own or promoted include topics like gaming, shoes, dust mites, insects, military history and even a Flash based wedding dress creator. Traffic numbers for these projects range from hundreds to over 600,000 unique visitors a month.
