Good afternoon
I wanted to send these to you before I left for the weekend. We can discuss earlier next wee about them but take your time to look through what I have made so far.

They look great, Sam! I'll be in the office tomorrow if you want to go over more. My initial thought is that I need to get you new pictures. The priest in the Baptism picture is no longer with us, unfortunately and the students in the Academics picture are now in high school, etc. Will those pictures, which are backgrounds, be easy to change in and out on my end as the time comes?
Yes as of right now all pictures are place holders to show what they will look like, but they can be easily changed during design or development!
What time would work best for you tomorrow? I will be in the office from 9am-5pm EST
Thanks,
Samuel

Hi Kevin and Sam!
Our Media Specialist was just at a conference about Google Apps for Education. She was told that when we move all of our email addresses to guardiana.com (http://guardiana.com), Google would more than likely not recognize it as a school email address and would no longer provide the free Google Suite for Education, minimizing our technological abilities here at the school. Can you speak to this at all?

Hi again, Gentlemen!
I talked to John Crombe, over at Bishop Foley. I believe he is listed as our IT person at the Church and he said that we do NOT want to lose our Google Apps for Education. He said he would recommend keeping the domain name of gaschool.com (http://gaschool.com) as it is short and well-known already. If that means we have to pay for two domain names, annually, that is ok. I don't know what that means moving forward as we develop each of the websites, but I think we need to work under the different URLs as opposed to trying to work under one. I'm so sorry for learning this at this point, but I hope it doesn't affect what has already been done. I know I will have to manage the back end on two different sites, but that's ok.
Thank you so much for your understanding in keeping our important resources for the school!

Absolutely! I actually don't know much about the google side of things as I deal with the designs exclusively, I will tag veronica and Kevin in on this as they may have more information.
Hi Veronica and Kevin, I don't have this information and as stated above, with the new URL they are at risk of losing Google APPS for Education.
Thanks,
Samuel Lanning

Good questions, Lauren. I just spoke with Veronica and she is following up with some additional info.

Hi Lauren,
Google for NonProfits and Google for Education have instructions on how to add a secondary domain and then make that secondary domain your primary domain.
Here are the instructions: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7009324?hl=en
I cannot speak to the exact process, but I do know that with Google for NonProfits and Education, you can speak to a representative over the phone or chat if you also have administrative access to the Google Suite account.
This may be the route to go if you have any further questions about this particular thing.
Thank you!

Hi Veronica,
I'm still not sure if that means we lose our GAFE. A non-profit receives different benefits. I think we should still stay with two separate domains. What do you think?

Personally, I think maintaining two domains is actually best practice when moving to a new domain regardless. People are already familiar with your current domain, so there is certainly no harm in keeping the domain other than the small, annual fee.
If you believe it will be an issue, I could see about talking to Google support about it.

Let's stay with two domains! I appreciate your help and assistance! I'm looking forward to working with you soon!
No problem! I'm glad we could figure it out.
I look forward to working with you as well :)

Hi Sam!
I was taking some photos around the church to possibly be used in the headers instead of the landscape scenes and such. I was just wondering if we have a place where I could drop some photos that you would also have access to?
Hope all is well!

Hi,
Awesome, that is great. I will put together a Dropbox fold for you so you can transfer those images with ease!
Thanks,
