I read over what you sent and:

1.  Content Migration
Since you are going to be going over your current content and creating some new content, I will keep this in mind and come back to you when we are in the process of creating the website and can begin moving content. This should give you at least a month before we will need to know the final stay/go list of the content. 

2a.  New Content
As for creating any new content over the next 2 months, you mentioned that you would be adding new content after the cutover. That is fine and if you have the content available at the time of the training, we can actually go through the training using real content!

2b.  Fr. Gene's Daily Prayer
As you mentioned, it currently resides on Facebook. We can most definitely create them within the website and push them to Facebook. One would simply create a "Prayer" post within your website and upon publishing, it would automatically post to Facebook.

2c.  Google Calendar
When displaying your Google Calendar, we style it so that it matches your website's color scheme, font, etc.
Here is an example of what that would look like: https://guardiana.com/calendar/

2d.  Registration Forms
If you already have these registration forms in PDF or Word Document format, please feel free to send them over to us. That way we can create it for you. As for the sacrament information forms, I think we will leave those to go over during the training so that we can, again, have real content to practice on

3. Images
Something you may want to consider is asking parishioners to send in their photos of the parish. I know that when my own home parish got their new website, the Youth Ministry offered a $100 scholarship for the high school senior that took a great photo and wrote an essay on why the student loved being Catholic.

4. Current Website Owner
If you could please give us Michel Kiedel's information, that should be sufficient. It is not until the launch is scheduled that we would need to contact him with instructions. Although, if you feel more comfortable with it, you can send us the login information and Diocesan can facilitate the launch when the time comes.

5. Other Domains
Did you previously own the saintfrancisdesalesparish.org domain? If so, you may want to renew the domain so that anyone that previously went to that particular domain is still forwarded to your stfrancisds.com domain. I simply noticed it because the St. Francis de Sales School still links to the saintfrancisdesalesparish.org domain, which is broken. 
http://www.desalescincy.org/about/saint-francis-de-sales-parish/
Other than that one, are there any other domains that we should be aware of?

Thank you for letting us know about the date! I do mean this sincerely, as we have definitely been caught off guard much closer to the deadline before. 

If we were to begin building your website next week, we would still be looking at the 2-3 weeks for site build, typically 1 week between build and training, then a minimum of 2 weeks between training and launch. This would put us ready to launch on April 10, only a week and a half before your current hosting ends. 

With the new information of your current host expiring, I am going to work with our flexible clients to see if I can move your project up in the queue. 

I will let you know as soon as I know. Thanks again for letting us know, Phil.

I just called and you were already out the door! I will be calling you again on Monday at about 10:00 am, EST, so that we can discuss how content editing and content migration works. 

If you'd like me to call at another time, please let me know. 

Thanks so much, Bonnie!

We decided against getting the zip file of current website content, since we will be moving everything into boxes/accordions and not a single page anyways. If there is a lot of behind-the-scenes content that you do want us to move (not visible by a visitor), then please let me know and we will do so. 

A spreadsheet of content that is/is not ready would be a wonderful help. 

Thank you,

I had the quick phone call with Bonnie earlier, but we just quickly went over the logistics of who can edit and when. I think the phone call you were anticipating was a little bit more in depth. If you'd still like to have a content phone call, I can definitely call you at about 2pm today or any time tomorrow. Is there a time that works best for you? 

As far as the content you sent over, I really appreciate your attention to detail. It will definitely help with the migration/creation when I get to that stage. In terms of editing, it is quite simple. When we send you a link to the development site, we will schedule a training with both Bonnie and yourself. After you are trained, you have at least 2 weeks to editing the site before launching. 

All inner page content is editable, with each element already styled. So while you can create as many boxes and accordions and paragraph as needed, the font style and visual effects would stay the same. 

That said, I did want to let you know (if I have not already) that the developer has begun working on your project and we are hoping to show you the website, with the majority of your content, by the end of the month. 

Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to set up a time for me to call. 

Thanks again for everything you sent over, Phil.

As of right now, I am actually available all day tomorrow, being in the office from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm. 

Let me know what works for you!

Hmm, I am not sure why that would be happening.  I wonder if Basecamp is having a server issue. If this continues, we can look into using something else for communications. 

I'll call you tomorrow,
