Navigation

• The Stamford JCC uses a mega menu to help visitors quickly and easily find the information they need. This expandable, two-dimensional dropdown menu provides an overview of all the website's main sections, making it easy to navigate even for first-time visitors.
• This website has a sticky menu, which means the navigation will stay fixed at the top of the screen as you move down the page. This functionality allows visitors to explore this site without getting lost in pages.
• At the very top of the page is the utility menu. To the left of the page are icon logos of some of the featured programs sponsored by major donors. To the right are quick links with fun icons to book events, contact, donate, or log in to the member portal. These playful icons are a creative and engaging way to show off your content.
• You want to ensure users can get to the content they came to your site for. Using a search function like Stamford JCC has in the utility menu makes it easier for people to navigate and find applicable content.

Featured Web Pages

• Early learning and youth & family are significant programs at Stamford JCC. Finding a website and membership software supporting these programs is one reason they partnered with Accrisoft. The Vogel Family Center for Early Learning and the Selkowitz Center for Youth & Family give detailed overviews of the programs offered for infants to teens with call-to-actions to schedule a tour, add classes to a member's cart, and fill out registration forms.
• Each program for Early Learning, Youth & Family, Health & Wellness, and Arts & Culture has its landing page with detailed information about the program's offerings, schedule, and call-to-actions. 
• If you're looking for design and functionality inspiration for your JCC's early childhood landing page, check out the JCC Sara Walker Nursery School and KinderPlace at the JCC.
• The Julius B. Kuriansky Fitness Center web page showcases all of the programs offered for health & wellness at the J. The page has navigation buttons and can quickly take users to the content they're searching for. Each program listed on the page also has a dropdown drawer of more content and pricing, which helps give visitors more information and keeps the pages condensed.
• The Join the J page gives users the full rundown of the benefits of joining and showcases a call-to-action that takes people to a Membership Application online form that allows members and families to sign up for a membership without being in person. This streamlines the process for J staff and gives people instant member benefits. 

Keep your members and visitors apprised of your hours by displaying them in the hero slider on your homepage like Stamford JCC! When people click on the hours, you can show your J's regular operating hours and any holiday and special observance hours.

JCC Membership Management Software

• Stamford JCC uses Accrisoft’s Programs Module to register new enrollments for their early learning programs. This is an upgrade from the former registration process of paper forms and phone calls.
• This J also uses Accrisoft’s total software solution to manage its members and facility, eliminating the use of five different software systems and old databases to a single platform with Freedom Software.
• With Freedom’s Membership Software, Stamford JCC members can seamlessly log in to their account, view program calendars and register for any upcoming classes, pay their monthly membership fees, and check in at the facility with a single login.
• This JCC membership management software allows your staff to track member activity, process dues, post events/programs/classes, accept attendee reservations, create custom sign-up forms, and so much more!

Door Access Control Via OpenPath

Stamford JCC also utilizes Accrisoft Freedom and OpenPath’s access control integration to manage its building security and members in one platform. This mobile access gives the J the ability to:

• Offer security for both members and staff (especially with the early learning center and after-school programs)
• Track busy patterns for facility management and cleaning
• Lock or unlock doors from a web-based device, anywhere
• Limit or revoke facility entry based on membership level or status
