Content Strategy & Sitemaps
Good Afternoon Beth & Fr. Tim,
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.
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 at St. Clare.
Let me know if you have any questions,

Good Morning Beth & Fr. Tim,
I just wanted to make sure that the Proposed Sitemaps were still approved. I know that they were edited a while back, but wanted to make sure that there was no more editing to be done. I tried to update it based on the comments left, but there were a few that I couldn't figure or made an educated guess on. Please take a look and make any necessary changes. Once it is approved, we will start the content migration for the site.

Hello Beth,
Sorry about the delay in the response. Things kept coming up and I was a bit scatter-brained.
I have added these items to the proposed sitemap and have color-coded those items that are duplicates of each other where having them on one page in one place would be the best or clustering them on one page would be the best, both for you as the editor and for the user, as they would think that each time there is a Forms / Registration link it might have different Forms on it. It can be very confusing.
I have used my expertise to organize the original into what I think would be a good solution. Of course, feel free to move things around and let me know what content is good to migrate for each page versus ones that are not.
Here is the link to the proposed sitemap: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uHbNCytfG-53aCqI2lMab3oeH3azG_tR9yDjwjbFWAM/edit#
Have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon Beth,
I have finished the Faith Formation pages and have added it to the menu and changed out the Pastoral Plan button on the homepage.
There was certain information I could not find on the current site, so I added what I could or left it completely blank. You can walk through all the pages under Faith Formation in the All Pages list in the backend.
