New Website Design Changes Meeting
Hello Everyone,
I hope this finds you all safe and healthy during this trying time. I wanted to reach out and see if you all had any time next week Tuesday the 24th, to go over the website design changes. Veronica and I both have time available on Tuesday morning or anytime after 2:30 pm to meet. We know it's the Holiday week so would love to get your feedback and keep things moving.
Let me know if Tuesday will work and a time and we can get something scheduled. If not, we can work on getting a time that works for everyone. Thanks so much and we look forward to speaking with you all soon!
God Bless,

I can do Tuesday morning as well, but note that Kelly is on a leave of absence so we will be missing her expertise.
Thanks!

I'd feel more comfortable with Kelly in the loop...

She will return the week of December 14

Hi Everyone,
If we are wanting to wait for Kelly to return that's fine as well. We can set something up for when she gets back if that would work for everyone? Let me know.

Hi Veronica,
We are having a hard time connecting through email as our last ones bounce back to us.
Meeting: December 16th @ 12:30 works for parish/school
Does that work for you?

HI Veronica,
We have been having some trouble with email communication. So I have sent this email with all the correct emails we would need for the meeting. We haven't received any zoom meeting information, so hopefully this solves the problem.
See you at 12:30 pm today!

Hi Jane,
Here is the sample Privacy Policy that you would need to update. We have some helpful links and information at the top of the first page:

Jane Eggleston
Still trying to figure out how to have more of a margin on some of the pages. Any ideas?
Jane Eggleston
1. How do I edit the privacy policy page. It is in view only mode
2. Is the homilies page still being updated?
3. Does MyParish App have an icon. I am using a basic one now
4. Any chance we could remove the large pictures at top of page when clicking on each parish news event?

Hi Jane,
I just sent your first email over to the developer to work on tomorrow.
1. For the Privacy Policy page, is it the Word Document that I sent over? Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your computer or should I provide you with a Google Document version for you to copy and paste over to the website?
2. The homilies page should be updated but I can have the developer take a look at it. Since the plugin has gone through some updates and it's been a couple months since initially set up, we'll have to make sure the connection was not un-verified.
3. I can have the developer add the myParish App icon to automatically display.
4. Would we want the header image to hide on all single posts for the parish? What about for the school?
Thank you!

Jane Eggleston
Yes, it was the privacy policy you sent over. A google doc would work better, but the website page which it is attached to won’t let me edit just view.
The homilies page should be updated as it is now just a list instead of the blocks
The header pics on individual pages for the parish side. Kelly would have to answer for the school side..
We could schedule a call if it would be easier?

I was able to fix the two homily sites to share the same page. one link was using the old sites page.

Morning!
* I would like the header image to hide on the school pages, not posts, by default if possible.
* Would you be able to help me embed a Google Map of our school on our Visit Us page? I wasn't able to find a block that allowed the embed code to function properly.
* https://ihm.diocesanweb.org/school/visit-us
* <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d11685.568586948553!2d-85.6247149!3d42.9278591!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x82f6cc0b9e886865!2sImmaculate%20Heart%20of%20Mary%20Catholic%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1612215107862!5m2!1sen!2sus" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" aria-hidden="false" tabindex="0"></iframe>
* I also had some feedback about the margins on the site being too close to the left side on some devices.
* Was there also any way we could adjust the spacing of lists and paragraphs? I had feedback that that also was something that appeared too cramped, and I know I can fix it with spacers, but it seems to be taking extra time.
* On our styles page, would it be possible to list the color hex codes and the fonts used, too?
* Regarding our logo on the school site, were the words, "Immaculate Heart of Mary" in blue text going to be changed to white text so they can be seen better?
Sorry for the list, but we appreciate your help!
Thank you!
Kelly

Still unable to edit on Homily page and Policy page.

Hi Jane and Kelly,
Are you both available Friday (Feb 12) afternoon sometime between 1:00-2:30 pm?
Below, I've broken down the items into Parish & School groups. We can discuss further tomorrow.
Parish
Privacy Policy
Here is a Google Doc version of the Privacy Policy for the Parish: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16AQBiqL14WF03CF5jtkyoEK_eD1jn_GziVXHlZ_ssmk/edit?usp=sharing
Once you have filled it out, please copy and paste it into a Privacy Policy page on your website.
Privacy Policy Page
I have set you as the author of the Privacy Policy page, so you should be able to edit as needed.
https://ihm.diocesanweb.org/church/privacy-policy/
Homilies
You mentioned the homilies just being a list but this is the page that I am seeing: https://ihm.diocesanweb.org/church/homilies/
We can change the top image or remove it altogether. Do you have an image in mind?
Page Header Images
By default, pages have no image. As a reminder, if you create a new page, you will have to add a featured image otherwise there will not be an image at the top.

School
Privacy Policy
Here is a Google Doc version of the Privacy Policy for the School:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oWbVBJ6YTla7KIYqDYgZy_RRdWYeTF660JLdXV2wFC8/edit?usp=sharing
Once you have filled it out, please copy and paste it into a Privacy Policy page on your website.
Page Header Images
By default, pages should not have an image header. We had gone through and added the image as the Featured image to the pages.
To remove them, would you like to go through the pages and remove the images or have Diocesan remove the images from pages? (There are 10 hrs remaining for budgeted Content Migration).
Google Map Embed
The block you will need to use is HTML. I've added it to the website and am trying to see if we can get it to center or be full width.
Site Margins
I had the developer look at this but I am thinking we need to adjust for smallter screen sizes. Right now it is set to a maximum (so it will be full width on smaller screens) but I am thinking instead you are wanting a percentage (content takes 90% of screen width).
We can talk this through a bit more.
List Spacing
Could you please send me a link to a page with the list? My guess is that the line height of lists needs to be updated to match teh line height of paragraph text.
Styles Page
I can ask Blake for those fonts (sizes, colors, etc) and add them to the styles page.
Logo
I will have Blake send that one over to me so I can update that logo and send you a copy of the logo as well.

Yes, I would love to meet at 1:00 with you. Just an FYI there is no edit link on the private police page or Homilies/podcast links either.
Kelly DeVries - School
Morning!
I am booked most of the day today until 3:00 p.m., so I don't think I will be able to make it happen. I can do something next Monday, however, if that helps! I will try to get the info requested asap too!

Jane, I've set something up for 1:00 pm today via Google Meet. You should've gotten something in your inbox.
Kelly, if you want, I'm available at 3:30pm today if we want to get this on the books right away. Otherwise, I'm available on Monday, anytime after 11:00 am.

Let's plan on Monday, if that's OK. That will give me some more time to peek at the site and make adjustments. I can do anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Veronica Alvarado
Monday works!
Let's do 11:30 on Monday then so the developer will have time to make any changes before (hopefully) launching.
I'll share the meeting event soon!

Morning Veronica,
Here's a link to our registration page (https://ihm.diocesanweb.org/school/registration/) which has the bulleted lists that seem a touch too close together.
I also tried to move the embedded Google Map, and each time I made an adjustment the HTML code disappears from the block and the map doesn't show up on the page anymore. I'd prefer it at the top of the page under the page title if that helps.
Thanks and talk soon!
