Congratulations to the YMCA of Greater Houston, which has  unveiled www.ymcahouston.org, an upgraded and interactive Web site. The Schipul team  is proud to be associated with such a highly respected Houston institution. Can you imagine the challenge of connecting with 100,000 people served every day? That challenge is why the  Y’s  Web site plays such a major role. For example, we made sure every page features a zip code search tool to make it easy to find the closest center. The Web site also makes it easy to apply for financial aid, join the Y as a facility member, register for upcoming programs and subscribe to receive e-mail alerts. We are also helping to roll out  Y-Online, a new online registration system that will provide a faster and more user-friendly experience.

Safety Vision cams keep you safe — and new Web site tells (and shows) their story

Safety Vision's new Web design by Schipul
Safety Vision's new Web design by Schipul

The Schipul team recently released a new Web site design for Safety Vision, a global provider of mobile digital video solutions. It is a great example of the power of  incorporating video clips to illustrate the core benefits of an organization’s products and services. The site includes actual examples of video captured by Safety Vision’s client cameras, including one case in which a parent gets on a school bus and (I suppose we should say allegedly, although it’s right there in the video) attacks one of the students.

Take a moment to take a look. It might give you some ideas about taking some existing video of your operations and posting them on your site.

A news account of the attack from  CBS Evening News  that also featured the Safety Vision video is below.
