The Problem

More than just a yacht club, BSYC is a function centre, a sailing and aquatics school, and a community focus area with two bars and a bistro. The objective of BSYC's new website was to provide a modern design with an easy to edit content management system, one the club's own team could genuinely manage day to day, covering everything from yacht and race listings to weddings and functions, without needing a developer for routine updates.

 

What JABA Built

The result was a new website with a design displaying the yachts and functions listings that are essential to the yachting community in South Australia. The client could also promote weddings and functions easily and update their content at the drop of a hat, giving BSYC's team genuine day to day control over their own site.

 

What Was Technically Interesting

When initially briefed on the project, Kylie of Brighton and Seacliff Yacht Club requested a WordPress website, a common request at JABA. However, once shown the XPress CMS and the ease at which changes can be made, the client was excited to move to JABA CMS V4.1, knowing it would be easy to use and come with the JABA team's support. This meant steering a client away from a familiar platform they'd asked for by name, and winning them over on usability alone.

 

Business Outcome

BSYC now manages their own content with confidence, promoting weddings, functions and club activities without relying on outside help for routine updates. The switch from a planned WordPress build to JABA XPress ultimately gave the club a system they trust and can use themselves, rather than one that would have taken months to learn.

 

Why JABA Was Chosen

"JABA were originally building a new site for us in WordPress and organised for me to come in and have a look at the content management system. When I saw it, I was worried. It was totally different to what I was used to and totally confusing. I was fully committed to learning it, but it would have taken me six months to get my head around it. I'm just so glad they decided to build a new site for us in JABA XPress as it's really easy to use. It's so straightforward and so easy to edit. You can edit each section and see exactly what it's going to look like. It's much easier than any other CMS I have used before." – Kylie, Brighton and Seacliff Yacht Club
