Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish & School 2019 - Grand Rapids, MI

Meeting Followup

Good morning everyone,


I have put together the list of questions to begin considering when looking at various features and type of information you plan on adding to the new websites. It is a live Google Doc, so feel free to add your questions as comments by highlighting the text, right-clicking, and clicking "+Comment". We can then go over these questions during our next meeting.

Jane & Kelly, I have also included Google Analytics information on the last page of the document.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12YULPbUhqdft1IiFBg41CxBL4ce43QOiLNybsf52KWU/edit?usp=sharing

If you could please let me know when your team has reviewed the document and begun to consider the new websites' scope and direction. At that point, we can schedule our next meeting to go over features, functionality, and your questions. 

Thank you and I pray everyone is enjoying this sunny weekend,

Hi Veronica,

Thank you for putting this together. I believe we finished going through the document.

Thanks for all the Google Analytics information too!
Here is the tracking code for the IHM school website (ihmparish.com/school (http://ihmparish.com/school)) -->

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-153570524-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-153570524-1');
</script>

Let me know if I screwed that up!

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

Hi Veronica,

Here's the info for the IHM parish site specifically, too --

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-153570524-2"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-153570524-2');
</script>

Hope this helps!

Good morning Kelly,


I've made a to-do for a developer to add the scripts to each of the websites. They should be up by the end of the week, but if it is completed before Friday, I will let you know.

Also, I will let Alan know that you have gone through the document to see if we need to schedule a second meeting. 

Thank you,

Hi Veronica,

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to hearing from you, and hope you're having a good week!

Good afternoon Kelly,


Our developer has added the Google analytics script to each of the sites. Could you please run the check to see if the tracking code is set up correctly? 

Thank you,

Hi Veronica,

I am seeing this message in Analytics, but in realtime I can see myself as an active user on both school and parish sites. Is that what you were asking for? Sorry, this is still new to me.
TO THE CLIENT Veronica Alvarado, Project Manager at Diocesan
I'll have the developer take another look at it and let you know when to check again. 

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure it's all systems go! Fingers crossed!
TO THE CLIENT Veronica Alvarado, Project Manager at Diocesan
Wonderful! 
I've added the analytics tracking codes to our notes so that when we build the new website, we can switch the analytics over, too. 

Have a wonderful Advent and Christmas season!

Hi Veronica,

Hoping you all had a great holiday:)

Kelly and I are regrouping and are ready for the next step in updating our websites. Wanted to touch base to see where we are in the process. We currently are mapping out what we would like to have content wise on our sites. Let us know what you think.. Thank you!
TO THE CLIENT Veronica Alvarado, Project Manager at Diocesan

Hi Kelly,


Everyone is back in the office and we are finally settling down after the holidays, so I apologize for not updating you sooner. 

We have gone through and put together a quote based on the document you sent to us and should have the final quote/proposal ready for you to view by the end of the week. 

Once the quote is signed, we can dive straight into content strategy and I will begin reviewing your new content and site structure with you. As you create these sitemaps, feel free to share them via Google Doc with us so we can make notes/ask questions directly on the document. 

Thank you,
