Customer: West Austin Youth Association
Problem: They were unable to update their old web site, which meant they spent a lot of time on the phone with their members.
Solution: We created an intuitive content management system for them.
URL: http://www.waya.org

The West Austin Youth Association (WAYA) is an Austin institution. Over the decades, it has served tens of thousands of families, providing affordable access to terrific youth activities like basketball, flag football, and soccer.

One of the main tasks faced by Courtney Houston (Executive Director) and her staff of program directors and volunteers is interfacing with nearly 3000 member families. Specifically, the WAYA staff needed an easy way to keep their web site content current so that their members could answer their questions by going there.

At the same time, WAYA realized that they also needed to refresh their online identity, as it had been a long time since the last design upgrade.

We proposed to build them a content management system that would allow them to easily create unlimited web pages, upload photos and PDFs, create streaming news tickers, and post calendar events. At the same time, we worked with Yellow Fin, Inc. to refresh their online identity and give them an exciting new look.

The result is a dynamic website that WAYA staff can easily update within minutes without having to know HTML markup. (This was the genesis for the TopDog CMS).
