Content Strategy & Sitemaps

To: Fr Lee Brokaw and Julie Fields
CC our team: Veronica Alvarado

Good morning Fr. Brokaw & Julie,


I wanted to send an email so that we can start working on the content strategy and setup of the new, permanent site (temporary site should remain relatively basic), especially in terms of menu layout and site flow. 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. We have looked at the notes from the consultation/deep dives to tweak the content and menu to accommodate those discussions. 

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.

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 Galesburg Catholic.

Let me know if you have any questions,

FROM THE CLIENT Fr Lee Brokaw, Galesburg Catholic - Galesburg, IL Staff Fr Lee Brokaw
Good morning,

I have edited the Proposed Sitemap. This is a good start I believe. I know there will be changes down the road. I am talking this week with the vocal videographer to see what is possible to put together a welcome/intro/vision video for the homepage.

Thank you in advance for your work on this.

In Christ,

Fr. Brokaw

Good Morning Fr. Brokaw,

Thank you for reviewing and editing the proposed sitemap! This is just to use as a guide. The pages and content can, of course, be changed later.
