Link to Development Site
Hello Angela and Kristin,
Merry Christmas! I come bearing a gift in the form of your development link.
https://st-agatha.diocesanweb.org/
Obviously, the website is not complete, but it has the majority of the functionality in place.
The main items that we are still working on are:
- Homepage Parish News (boxes around each post)
- Homepage Parish Calendar Styling
- Accordion Styling
- Fonts & Text Styling
Some things we still need from you are:
- Your Google Calendar's ID (for homepage events)
- Domain Contact Information or Login (for launch)
Once you have looked over the website, please let me know. We can then go over your concerns and look at dates for a training!
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

Good Morning,
Not sure which address to the calendar you need to I will send both =)
The Public URL to the calendar is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=saintagatha1860%40gmail.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York
The Public address in iCal format is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/saintagatha1860%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics
To get the domain information you will need to contract Mike Kimble. The issue with this is he is not “happy” that we decided not to use them anymore and go with you. If you have any issues with this please let us know. You can reach him at mmkimble@gmail.com<mailto:mmkimble@gmail.com>
Also, we have a question, please see the attached document. If you have any question or concerns please let us know. If you need anything else form us please let us know that as well.
Thank You!
Happy New Year!

Hi Kristen,
Thank you for sending the Google Calendar ID. I have put it onto the website and our developer will be styling it when he works on changing the color, as well.
As for the Facebook logo, it is an option that we simply have to put the link in. So far, I have only been able to find the school's Facebook page. Is this the link you'd like to use? https://www.facebook.com/SaintAgathaSchoolColumbus/
In our initial consultation, we have noted that the domain will be staying with Matthew Kimble. Is this still correct? If that is the case, we will get in contact with him as we get closer to the launch. Then, we will send him an email with the launch instructions, necessary IP information, and the date and time for which we plan on launching.
Thank you,

Hi Veronica,
I was on vacation so I apologize that I didn’t respond earlier. Forgive my question, but when you say the domain will be staying, do you mean the st-agatha.org web address? Sorry, just want to be clear what you are asking.

No worries whatsoever!
Yes, I do mean the st-agatha.org web address. If Matthew is the current contact, that means that he has the login for the domain ownership (through Tucows).
Also, do you have any dates in mind for the website training or the website launch?

Hi Veronica,
So St. Agatha owns the Domain through Windstream. I called and was able to get the information. I think this is what you need. Let me know if not.

Oh! Since St. Agatha owns the domain, Diocesan does not actually contact Matthew at all. When it comes time to launch, we will log into Windstream (thank you for the credentials) and make the changes ourselves.

Hi Veronica,
We are ready to have our training and launch as soon as possible. Can we get that scheduled? We are having lots of problems and complaints with the current website and need to get the new one launched as soon as possible. I’m a little concerned about the delays we have been having. Can you give us an update?

Hi Angela,
I'm sorry I didn't follow up with you after our January 7th discussion, but I know we were waiting to see if Kristin had any input on a preferred training date. That said, I am available nearly all of next week. What days and times would work best for you?
The training typically takes ~2 hours and is done remotely on your computer screen.
Thank you,

Veronica,
Can you do the training on Monday at 10am? If that doesn’t work, 1pm would be our second choice.

Hello Angela,
For whatever reason, I didn't get any email notifications about this message. So I am sorry for the delayed response. I don't expect it to happen again, but it there is ever another time that I do not respond in a timely manner, by all means, do not be afraid to call me.
I have a meeting from 10:45-12 and a training from 3-5 pm, but will be free for an 8:30 am, Noon, or 1:00 pm training.
Again, I apologize for the disruption in communication and look forward to scheduling a training with you,

Here are the links to the calendars we spoke about:
Eucharist Minister Schedule - https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ip5i2h2ksl3cjae0fu6gb6btn4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York
Lector Schedule - https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=b6r7hq70tub2n88m8ocdiqnjdo%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York
Servers Schedule - https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=277qs9gbovbpucpn81el3pe7pjgbvs0d%40import.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York
- The server calendar will get a new link every 4ish months. Will I have to contact you guys each time we need the URL updated? The problem is this link is imported from sign-up genius so the google calendar link changes each time there is a new schedule. If this is a problem I can attempt to change the process but I am not sure how that will work yet. If I can just change the URL that would be great if not I understand. Just let me know what you think.

Hi Veronica,
Wanted to check in to see if we are ready to launch? We said March 1st but didn't know if that was still possible?
Also, we talked before about how you cannot find our current website in a google search and you had said that was something that you can help us with. I wanted to make sure that was still the case.

Hi Angela,
The site should be all good to go, but I do have our developer going through the website for his final checks tomorrow.
As for the launch, we could do March 1. Were you worried that it wouldn't be possible on your end (content, training, etc.)? If that is the case, we can schedule it for another day or have another training.
As for the Google Search issue, your new website will NOT have this issue. I'm not sure what content management system that your website is using, but with our websites (WordPress) there is a setting to "Discourage search engines from indexing this site". We turn this setting off once the website is no longer in development and is live.
I'm not sure what the issue would be with your current website since I am not familiar with the CMS or its settings.
Let me know if you have any other questions and/or if March 1 is a good launch date for you.

Hi Veronica!
I talked with Kristen. We are thinking to launch on Monday just so we have the next couple days to do some stuff. I think we may have a question or two on how to do a couple things. One I will go ahead and ask. On the Parish Hall page, I was trying to add a picture next to those bulleted items under Parish Hall Highlights but neither of us can figure out how to get a picture in there. Is that possible?

I will move the tentative launch date to Monday, March 4.
On your Parish Hall page, you should most definitely be able to add right aligned images. Below are instructions on how to add an image to your page. Be sure to pay special attention to step 7 so that you can right align your image and select its size.
http://support.diocesanweb.com/support/solutions/articles/43000081934-how-to-add-an-image-to-your-page-post
The other option, of course, is to use your page content section at the bottom, rather than the single column default editor at the top of the page.
With the content sections, you can have two columns. One with the bulleted list on the left and your image(s) on the right.
Also, don't forget that you do have the Envira Gallery option to create a gallery of all of your Parish Hall pages. Just something to consider.
If you'd like to set up a time to go over this and any other questions you might have, please let me know.

Thank you Veronica! That worked. I think we are doing pretty well. We are editing pages and seem to be getting the hang of things. Kristin and I are looking forward to creating and adding to the website in the months ahead. We are excited about our launch Monday!
Just a few last things:
We just wanted to double check one more time on that purple color on the top and bottom of the pages. Was that ever looked at. The color still looks too purple to us. Just wanted to check on that.
The St Agatha school link at the top of the page doesn’t appear to be working
Are we able to switch the order of the drop downs and/or add something to a drop down list ourselves? We re-ordered the “Education” Page and put School first, but can’t figure out how to make it first in the Education drop down. And we want to add something to the “About” drop down list.
Thanks Veronica!

Good morning Angela,
We did change the purple color from #5628a5 to #4d34a9, which was the exact color code pulled from the mockup. If you'd like us to change it again, please click here to find a new color, send us the HEX code, and we will send you an example of your website with that color before make the change.
The St. Agatha school link will be updated to http://www.saintagathaschool.org/.

Hi Kristin,
I am actually going to have you try opening Google Chrome's developer tools and trying this yourself.
Click here to view my quick screen recording of how to do that.
If you need help, you can definitely give me a call on Monday and we can go over how to do it together.
No need to apologize :)
