Youngbodymind

YBM empowers the community to submit, vote, share, discover, promote information most relevant to health-beauty conscious people who want to look, feel, and act forever young. It is also about making like-interest and like-minded friends to share personal paths to perfect body and mind.

Initially when it's website was developed, it had many issues and wanted some new features to be added related to theme, layout, category display, uploading the user's photo, search user's based on their interest, invite users to be friends, multi-email invite other friends to join YBM, to send emails to users, and display top users.

With the use of Drupal, most of YBMs problems were solved instantly. YBM specifically wanted to change its look. Originally it had header, 3 column layout and almost static-like look. Now, its complete look has been changed, and added many features like categorization of stories, blog section, book section, and top story links. Drupal's core modules were installed and some of them were customized to change the look, posotioning of the blocks and elements. No other platform comes to mind other than Drupal CMS which is best geared to build massive communities.

YBM has been developed using Drupal CMS. Development has been done by BPO Canada Global Services Corporation - a Drupal CMS Services company. Drupal CMS was defacto choice when it was decided to develop Youngbodymind.com. Drupal's Taxonomy, Access Control, URL Aliasing, flexible themeing system, solid framework and a strong community are just few of the points why it was decided to chose Drupal for Youngbodymind.com.
