Project Summary

The YMCA of Greater Rochester hired Five Jars to revamp its membership-focused website, migrate hosting, and provide ongoing maintenance and support. Five Jars migrated a custom WordPress site to a new hosting platform, launched a virtual YMCA subdomain, and continues to provide updates. The engagement improved the organization's digital presence and helped sustain member-facing digital resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the client praising transparent project management and reliable delivery.

Key Challenges

  • Shift to becoming a digital resource for members due to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Need to publish more online content and rely heavily on the website and digital media
  • Requirement for a consistent and solid online presence

Project Deliverables

  • Website hosting migration and management
  • Custom WordPress site maintenance and support
  • Virtual YMCA subdomain website
  • Ongoing updates and technical support

Project Solution

Five Jars assumed hosting and management of the client's custom WordPress site, migrated the site to a new hosting platform, resolved longstanding technical issues, and spun up a virtual YMCA website as a subdomain. They continue to provide support and updates and coordinate via a designated relationship manager, working with the client's CEO and a developer lead (COO) to manage financials and technical delivery.

Project Outcome

  • Virtual YMCA subdomain generated visits that would not have existed without Five Jars
  • Built a new digital resource for members, improving affiliates' access during COVID-19
  • Transparent project management via Basecamp improved communication and coordination
  • Vendor delivered reliably and enabled ongoing site maintenance and updates
