Content Strategy & Sitemaps
Good afternoon Allie,
I hope you have been doing well since you last spoke with Alan!
My name is Cody Armock and my role here in Diocesan's web department is as a content specialist. This means, that in addition to going over what areas of your current website are staying or going, I also help you find the most effective way to layout your website. I will be helping you in this process from now until the training before the launch of the site.
This not only helps us build you a website that is easier to edit and manage but also allows anyone visiting your website to accurately and consistently find the information for which they are looking.
Thinking about content before the design is important because it will make the design process easier and tailor it better to your needs. It is similar to building a house. Content strategy is figuring out how many bedrooms and square footage you need when picking floorplans. The design process is the customizing of the space (walls, flooring, exterior, colonial vs modern style, etc.). Content migration/creation is the filling of your rooms with furniture and your possessions. Without the content strategy process, the house may not suit your needs.
Below are links to Google documents of your current and proposed sitemap. The current sitemap shows your current site's menu structure and flow. The proposed sitemap is what we suggest for your menu based on our previous experience and what would work best in terms of usability. The proposed sitemap is created to optimize the flow and look of your site.
You can edit the proposed sitemap however you would like, adding pages, removing pages, etc. The proposed sitemap will act as a guide for the content migration process. Please edit the document directly to ensure that the same edits stay throughout all versions and that the content migration process is accurate.
Church Sitemaps
Once you approve the suggested sitemap, we will be ready for the design process. A designer will reach out to you to begin the design process when they complete their current project and we have received the final version of the suggested sitemap.
Thank you for choosing Diocesan and we are very excited to work with you on creating a new website for you and the people of St. Brigid!
Let me know if you have any questions,

Hi Cody!
Thanks so much for sending this information. I am going to review, and make some comments in the google docs, then I will send to our team to get their comments as well. So while we may go back and forth with comments/suggestions, please don't accept them as final comments or suggestions until I send an email that we've all had time to review and discuss. That will likely take at least a week. I will send you an email when we are ready for you to review!
Thank you!
Allie

Hi Cody!
We are now done discussing these proposed sitemaps. I have made some changes in both of them, as well as inserted my comments and questions. Please note on the parish proposed sitemap doc I have listed some questions at the bottom of the document.
Please let me know if you have any questions as you go through this process.
Thank you!
