Girls on the Run Case Study
Assignment
The local chapter of Girls on the Run came to Coalmarch to discuss a new website, and we were excited to help. They were interested in the development of an environment that would allow coaches and board members to log in to the website to receive information and to send information to other members of their individual groups. We gave them that, and much, much more.
Project Scope
Our solution was to put the Girls on the Run Triangle website on our new Drupal platform. Organic groups was the quick answer to the functionality that they were looking for, and we put a fresh look on the site, so that they could distinguish their website from the other Girls on the Run sites out there. Organic groups allows group members to keep up with their own information, while the site administrators can keep track of the activities of users and event publishing.
Result
The Drupal solution is a great fit for Girls on the Run, they have complete control over their user accounts, page content, and organic group administration. A second phase for the website included some new functionality that makes administration of their Blog, users, and groups much easier.
They are editing their own content regularly now, adding youtube videos, galleries of images, and calendaring new events for all of the fun projects that they have scheduled for the summer and fall.

What They Said
We have had a wonderful experience working with Coalmarch. We were coming from a “do-it-yourself-on-a-dime” website and looking for an upgrade in both design and functionality. Coalmarch was professional in working with us on design concepts as well as web tools that would best fit our needs. They have had wonderful support and patience with us throughout this process. In the end they are dedicated to providing us with a total package that is not only pleasing to the eye but functional as well.
