Training & Development Link
Good afternoon Joni,
We have reached the point in development that we share a link to the development site with you.
First, I wanted to go over the missing content from the website and then get into the training and development site.
Things We Need From You
We still need the following items from you. Please let us know if you will be sending them or if you'd like us to remove them from the site.
- Ministries
Right now, we've left them as accordions. They will be updated to match the Diocese of Venice Offices layout once new content is sent over.
The other couple of items are listed as comments on the suggested sitemap:

Training Sessions
The first training session typically takes ~2 hours and is done remotely via a screen share program. We will send over the meeting link and phone number in a later email.
During the training sessions, we go over:
- How to edit the homepage content
- How to edit the footer
- How to edit the menu
- How to create/edit inner pages
- How to create/edit posts
- How to create/edit image galleries
- How to create/edit online forms
Since this can be a lot, we break the training down into two sessions:
Session 1: Editing the site basics
Session 2: Editing the additional site features & answering follow-up questions
This is completely up to your learning pace and how much you feel comfortable covering at once.
Development Site Link
Something to keep in mind is that the site is not quite completed yet, with the largest thing being mobile responsiveness. That said, it is best to look at the development site on a desktop computer, rather than a laptop or smaller screen. Mobile development/responsiveness is something that the developer completes after the training so that he can update any changes along with the original development!
There are some other big items that we are still working on, such as:
- Menu Styling
- Ministries (to be completed after updated ministries are sent over)
Other than that, if you see anything that alarms you (design or functionality), please let me know and we can address your concerns.

Good morning. I have a question regarding the ministries and best course. Can you give me a quick call this morning? I’m free all day except 10-11 & 1-3. If today doesn’t suit, then tomorrow. Many thanks.

Hi Joni,
Comparing my calendar to yours, I am free all the times you are busy. Let's set up a time tomorrow for a call. I am available from 10:00 am - 3:30 pm tomorrow. Let me know what time works for you and I'll give you a call.
Also, should I contact you on your cell phone or the parish office/desk number?
Thank you,

How about 10am tomorrow morning? Call my desk phone, please. 941-615-0271
Hi Veronica. I didn’t hear from you this morning so I’m guessing I sent my message too late yesterday. Sorry.
I’m free today 11-1 or 1:30-2:30. Just give my cell a call when you’re free, please.
Thanks,
Joni

Hi Joni,
I must have updated a setting in my account because my Basecamp messages were not forwarding to my email, so I'm just seeing this message now. I apologize for that.
I am available from 11:00 am - 3:30 pm EDT tomorrow (Thursday). Feel free to give me a call at any time.
My cell phone number is 281-995-1406.
