Introducing YOUTH Portal

Studies show that youth have very specific needs and interact with websites differently and a token page on a local council website or YMCA or even a MySpace page is just nowhere near enough !

Wikipedia defines Youth Portals as:

participatory spaces that young people can connect with each other and gain information

"Generation Y" and "Generaton Z" (also known as the digital generation) has experienced the social effect of the communication technology more than any generation before it.  They are difficult to engage and demand quick and easy information and social media.

YOUTH Portal has had enormous success engaging young people because it is designed to meet the recommendations of several key studies of teenagers use of the web.

YOUTH Portal is a "Web 2.0" application purpose built for youth departments, but it can just as easily be used by local YMCA's and any site aimed at a young audience.  "Web 2.0" is a perfect fit for council youth departments, who have different communication requirements to any other business unit.
