Hi Cody,

Thank you for sending these test sites. Overall they look great! I love the new functionalities with the two columns, the image menus, the FAQs accordians, the calendar preview and the home page layouts! Below are my initial changes -- I am not including photo or text changes that will need made, just more structural type of things or transfer issues.

Thank you for your work on this!

SCHOOL SITE:

Home page:

* The logo is very fuzzy on the top. I've attached a few different eps files of the school logo.
* Remove COVID FAQs from Home drop down
* On all pages/template: the main body text font -- I think it's a little large / doesn't distinguish from the header fonts enough. Can we either make it a touch smaller, a touch lighter, and/or increase the line spacing a bit?
* Our News: Can these be smaller and show 3 or 4?
* Our News: Add dates to News posts, add categories
* Student Moments: photos fuzzy (might be what you said you're still working on)
* Footer: At the bottom where it begins "Saint Brigid of Kildare School provides a traditional..." can we make that font lighter/different/look embedded within the page a bit more?
* Footer: Remove the three buttons above that text (parish, visit us, safe together)
* Footer: Quick Links -- change Calendar to go directly to the School Calendar page, add Lunch Calendar, add Safe Together
* Footer: Remove the Lunch calendar and COVID FAQs quick links, add Church Livestream (https://www.youtube.com/stbrigidofkildarechurch) link
* Footer: Add Youtube link to social icons: https://www.youtube.com/stbrigidofkildarechurch

Internal Pages:

* Our Faculty page; Intro text needs brought over on the top
* Our Faculty page: can we list the email addresses, instead of the hyperlink mail icon
* Contact Us page: the rest of the intro text needs brought over, also on the left side can we add the school address above the parish address?
* Contact Us: map is wrong
* Athletics & Activities: page is blank (can we just add the image/button links to parent and student pages?)
* How to Apply page: not found
* Admissions/FAQs: I LOVE these drop downs! Can the font be a smaller one?
* News: The archive is great, and I assume it will show more pages once we add them to the new site. Can it show/preview at least 6, then have the ability to search for older posts by date and category?
* Calendar: Can the main/first calendar page you click on link directly to the school calendar, then it will have the links to the lunch and preschool calendar there as well?
* News/Wolfhound Wednesday - can it archive old issues like currently (https://stbrigidofkildare.com/wolf-wednesday/) ?

PARISH SITE:

Home page:

* Logo is fuzzy on the top. Diocesan designed/updated this file so I believe you should have the full-res version
* Change "Homepage" to "Home"
* Change "Giving" at the top to "Donate"
* Contact Form: Remove this from home page, replace with something that has links to: Contact Us page, Livestream link (https://www.youtube.com/stbrigidofkildarechurch%20), Bulletin, email sign up (can this be an embedded form?)
* Footer: Remove buttons (bulletin, calendar, donate) and footer text (so the footer starts with the horizontal line and logo)
* Footer: Change Quick Links to: Contact Us, Bulletins, Email Sign Up, Donate, Livestream (https://www.youtube.com/stbrigidofkildarechurch%20)
* Footer: remove the 3 other links along the very bottom (however, do we need a Privacy Policy and Terms of Use like the school site has?)
* Footer: social icons will be the same instagram as the school and this facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stbrigidparish/ and this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/stbrigidofkildarechurch

Internal Pages:

* Welcome -- move Safe Environment back to under main Welcome menu
* Welcome -- remove Bulletins link
* Our Staff page: can we list the email addresses, instead of the hyperlink mail icon; also remove the images (we won't use them for the parish)
* Welcome - Donate - change name of this page to Giving
* Welcome - Contact Us - the top text from this page didn't get transferred over
* Sacramental Life - can we have the image buttons that link to all the other pages here?
* Youth - when you click this, can it go directly to Young Children's Programs page
* News - Latest News - doesn't load

I will plan to do a review of all the text, images and hyperlinks on all the pages before this goes live (I know there's a lot I need to update). I am pretty fluent with Wordpress, and I think I will only have one other person with me on the training, who is also familiar with Wordpress, so I think the training should go pretty quickly.

Let me know when you are ready to get that set up.

Thank you!
Allie

• Homepage Student Moments: photos fuzzy (might be what you said you're still working on)
  • This is a Flickr issue and the website pulling from it. There is not really much we could do besides having like 6 photos that are on housed on the site and then having a View All button to go over to your Flickr page. You can change these photos whenever you want, but it would be a manual job.
• Church & School - Our Faculty page: can we list the email addresses, instead of the hyperlink mail icon
  • We can, but this is not in the proof and definitely not recommended because it makes it easier to orchestrate phishing emails. Users can still get the email address from right-clicking on the email icon and copying the email address.
• How to Apply page: not found
  • Where was this page not found?
• News: The archive is great, and I assume it will show more pages once we add them to the new site. Can it show/preview at least 6, then have the ability to search for older posts by date and category?
  • It will be separated into categories already and then infinitely load more until there is no more. Right now, it will show 9 initially
• News/Wolfhound Wednesday - can it archive old issues like currently (https://stbrigidofkildare.com/wolf-wednesday/)
  • Yes, we can do this. We just need the RSS Feed from Constant contact. Instructions here (https://knowledgebase.constantcontact.com/articles/KnowledgeBase/5609-add-an-rss-feed-of-your-event-campagins-to-a-website?lang=en_US) Just need the Feed URL

• Footer: remove the 3 other links along the very bottom (however, do we need a Privacy Policy and Terms of Use like the school site has?)
  • Removed them, and added a Privacy Policy. I don't think it is necessary but it is good to have. Terms of Use is not necessary from what I know.
• Our Staff page: can we list the email addresses, instead of the hyperlink mail icon; also remove the images (we won't use them for the parish)
  • Removed the images. The email addresses would have the same problems as if we did it for the school.

Hi Cody!

Thank you for all your work on this. Here are my answers to your responses (in red below).

In addition to the comments below, I have just a few more questions/requests:

SCHOOL SITE:

* Footer: At the bottom where it begins "Saint Brigid of Kildare School provides a traditional..." can we make that font lighter/different/look embedded within the page a bit more?
* Our Faculty page; Intro text was brought over, but there isn't a header on the top.

PARISH SITE:

* Can the Donate link on the top be in a square/button? If you need to remove the phone number (or make it smaller) to do that, that is fine.

Thanks!

1. I am not sure what you mean for the first one to make it look more embedded. I adjusted the width, made it a little smaller, italicized it, and now made it a lighter version of the font, but it is harder to read. Let me know specifically what you would want if more changes are needed.
2. According to the proof that was approved, there is not supposed to be a header on top of the faculty page. Hard-refresh is required to see the green category titles for staff.

3. I have made the donate link a button.

Hi Cody,

Thanks for these updates and changes. Everything looks great.

For the faculty page, I guess when the intro text got pulled over it made it look like it was missing a header. So I think we can either delete that text and not have a header (as in the approved screenshot you attached), or leave that intro text and add a header. Either one works for me.

Thank you! Let me know what the next steps to move forward are.

Hi Cody!

Thanks again for all the updates. Bridget Malloy and I are both available next Tuesday, Oct 26 anytime from 9 am - noon. Let me know if that timeframe works for you, if not we can send some other options.

Thanks!
Allie

Perfect, thank you!
