Thomas the Apostle - Wilmington, DE

Development Link & Training

Good morning Msgr. Hurley,


We have reached the point in the development process in which we share the link to the development site with you. First, I wanted to go over the missing content from the website and then get into the training and development site.

Things We Need From You
We do still need some information from you, if possible. Otherwise, we can simply remove these items from the main menu and website.
  • Staff Photos

Training
The first training session typically takes ~2 hours and is done remotely via Diocesan's screen share program. We will send over the meeting link and phone number to dial in in a subsequent email. 

During the training sessions, we go over:
  • How to edit the homepage content
  • How to edit the footer
  • How to edit the menu
  • How to create/edit inner pages
  • How to create/edit posts
  • How to create/edit/use image galleries
  • How to create/edit/use online forms
  • Any other questions that you may have
Since this can be a lot, we break the training down into two sessions:
  1. Editing the site basics  (pages, posts, menu, homepage)
  2. Editing the additional site features & answering follow-up questions (forms, galleries, etc.)
This is completely up to your learning pace and how much you feel comfortable covering at once. 

Development Site Link
Something to keep in mind is that the site is not quite completed yet, with the largest thing being mobile responsiveness. That said, it is best to look at the development site on a desktop computer, rather than a laptop or smaller screen. Mobile development/responsiveness is something that the developer completes after the training so that he can update any changes along with the original development!
There are some other big items that we are still working on, such as:
  • Homepage News Showing
  • News Page ordering
Other than that, if you see anything that alarms you (design or functionality), please let me know and we can address your concerns.

Please let me know what dates and times work best for the training or if you have any other questions,

Dear Cody,



Regarding training, how about the morning of January 28th? Anytime after 9am works.

I have a background in computer science so I’m not sure that we will need 2 hours. I’m rather quick at picking up new software, etc. We’ll see.



Thanks,



Msgr. Hurley

Good Morning Msgr. Hurley,


I will set up the training for 9:30 am then. That is good to know about your background as well. It helps give me a basis for things. I scheduled it for two hours, just in case, but it will probably be closer to 1.5 hours.
