How is Thrive Responding to COVID-19 Pandemic? - More Details »
We'd like to introduce you to our ySite product. A ySite is a YMCA pre-configured website developed specifically for YMCAs.
What does this mean? It's simple; we have an adaptable YMCA website design package ready to fit your specific Y branding. Many features are included, such as a first-class content management system made specifically for non-profits allowing your staff to quickly and easily manage your website without the incremental costs of a dedicated web designer. As well as a plethora of marketing tools, that we call the Membership Machine™, that you'll have available at your fingertips to increase membership & increase signups for programs.
Our team of developers created a world-class YMCA website package that can be deployed in less than a week. Our ySite solution provides your YMCA association with a feature rich, dynamic web presence and an easy-to-use interface. Thanks to ySite's enhanced interactivity, site visitors can quickly find the information they need so you can focus on expanding your brand.
Our YMCA website solutions help your organization reach its true potential through increased revenue, simplification of tasks and an update of your digital image. Our unique pairing of customized web software with world-class support and services offer numerous advantages to YMCAs wanting to take their Internet presence to the next level. Let Thrive Internet Marketing show you the ySite difference!
Thrive has become well versed through our years of experience working with YMCA's. We know your industry and how to make your website work FOR your Y.
Our ySite Products cost about HALF of what most custom YMCA websites cost to build. We continue to improve our designs and user experience to ensure that you're getting the best YMCA website available.
We have a quick-responding, dedicated support team (based in Perrysburg, Ohio) that you will come to know and trust.
We understand the YMCA Brand Strategy and by working with Thrive, we guarantee you will pass a YMCA Brand Audit. (If for some reason you don't pass, we'll fix whatever is needed at no charge.)
Because your ySite is more than just a website... You also get:
|
Feature & functionality updates. (monthly/quarterly) |
Easy to use content management system for updating your own website. |
We are security fanatics. Your website will be upgraded with core updates. |
Your website hosting and your traffic's bandwidth usage |
|

Thrive believes that your YMCA's Website should never be considered an expense. We consider your website to be a virtual salesperson that generates actionable leads that your team can convert to members.
Our goal is to help you convert an old typical YMCA website into a Membership Machine that will grow your membership revenues every month. We have a proven process that you can start using the day we launch your new ySite.
Plug your own numbers into our Lifetime Value Calculator and find out what an additional X number of members a month can do to your bottom line.
Sleep easy at night and benefit from our community of YMCA website clients. After 100+ YMCA websites, we have streamlined the process. You will get a "Cheat Sheet" of all of our meetings, our process, and everything we will cover in the typical 6-8 weeks it will take to launch your website.
Need it sooner? We can do that too!

US
Security, Security, Security. Thrive builds ySites on the Accrisoft Freedom Content Management System, which is a safe and secure system that we update regularly.
We know the YMCAs. Thrive works with over 100 branches of the YMCA, so we know your organization well, how it works, and what it needs to grow.
You'll have full control of your website's back-office. No need to contact us to make an update to your site. Just log in and edit!
THEM
Other systems/software are prone to hacking and malware. In 2017 WordPress ranked as one of the most insecure Content Management Systems online.
No other company has hosted more YMCA websites. As of January 2018, we have built and launched 100 YMCA websites, covering more than 350 branches.
Long wait time for the IT/Support staff to make site updates. If you run into a problem, the Thrive Support Team closes help tickets in less than four hours on average.
We created the Membership Machine™ as a toolset you can use to help grow your membership and turn your website into your very own 24/7 salesperson!

Membership Rates Calculator - this allows you a variety of ways to display your membership rates - by income or age. The Scholarship Calculator allows member prospects to identify themselves as possibly qualifying for special discounts.
Countdown Timer Bar -Designed to live on the Home Page, this tool allows you to display a countdown clock to a special event to increase the urgency for a site visitor to take immediate action.
yBox - We used to call these pop-up ads. It allows a custom message to "pop up" on your website at a time determined by you - usually after a visitor has visited a page or two. It is a powerful tool to encourage a call to action for a special program.
Silent Salesman - A tool that resides on the Home page designed to expand when activated by the site visitor, it can be used to support any program and its primary mission is to capture contact information for sales leads. Note the sticky nav.
yStories - A great way to get members to tell your story. Unlike advertising, consumers like to hear from the people using your facilities. This tool allows you to collect and post positive reviews from your members.
Drip Email Marketing - Tools shown in the Membership Machine are designed to capture the contact information of member prospects. Drip Email allows you to schedule a series of emails highlighting the benefits of joining your Y.

With Thrive, you are never alone. We have a dedicated support team that works full-time weekly, normal business hours, just like you. This is the business class support your YMCA deserves, but unfortunately probably doesn’t always get – we’re here to change that for you.
When times are tough, you rely on your friends and family to help get you through it. We at Thrive are your family. We can help answer questions, teach you how to use your site, and even fix minor bugs with the code or CMS.
