New Website Design Link
Hi Greg,
Thanks so much for taking the time to meet today and go over the new website design. I am thrilled you are liking the way it's going and excited to continue working on it. Below is the design link to view the proofs. Like I said in the meeting, this is a live link and will be updated as we go. All you have to do is click the refresh button on the page and the changes and addition proofs will be added.
XD Link: https://xd.adobe.com/view/10956c33-e08b-449e-8027-36de306d00c4-45c6/grid/
I will go ahead and finish making all of those changes we spoke about during the meeting and let you know when I am finished. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help in any way I can. Thanks again and I will talk to you soon!

Hey Greg,
Hope you are feeling healthy! I just wanted to reach out to let you know that I had finished the edits we spoke about in the meeting we had. Here is the link again, if you refresh this page you should be able to see the edits.
https://xd.adobe.com/view/10956c33-e08b-449e-8027-36de306d00c4-45c6/
I saw your message about adding a school icon in the top right corner by the social media icons. However, I don't know if that would be intuitive enough for the user to know that that's a school link. I feel like it could be something they are unclear about so instead, I replaced the "online giving" button with the words "Our School." I thought that would be an idea of where to put it. Let me know your thoughts on that.
If you have any other questions about the design let me know and I will be happy to answer them. Let me know what you and the parish team think of the design. If we are liking it, I can start to move into inner page designs as well. Talk to you soon!

Blake,
I saw your changes.
Please amend the following:
* Move the "Connect" and "Our School" buttons" and "search icon" to the row above it where the icons are. The order is as follows: icons (phone, fb etc) followed by "Connect", "Our School", and then search bar. When in doubt, look to St Therese's site.
Should we personalize the front page more by updating pictures to the 4 buttons (Livestream Mass etc) and to the "Explore Our Parish" section b/f showing it to the staff so that it will look more like our own website? Or is that something I will do on my own in the near future?

Hi Greg,
I went ahead and made those design requests to the header area. I also changed the images of the featured buttons to reflect the subject matter of their titles. So hopefully the idea comes across of what could possibly go in those boxes.
Yes, you will be able to pick the images & titles you want to go in there once we have gone through the design process and your working with content and they are developing the live site.
Here is the link again to view those changes (make sure to refresh). https://xd.adobe.com/view/10956c33-e08b-449e-8027-36de306d00c4-45c6/
If this is all looking good, I think showing your staff is the next step. If they are liking it too, then I'll be able to get into the inner page designs and we can keep moving forward. Let me know what they think and when we can set up our next meeting. :)
Looking forward to hearing from you, talk to you soon!

When are you available to meet to discuss the inner page designs? What can I do to prepare for this next meeting?

Hi Greg,
That sounds good, I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks so far. The next step would be designing a mobile homepage and some inner pages, however, I do want to make sure everyone is on board with the homepage design first.
If the staff has some major design edits to the homepage we could set up a meeting to go over those kinds of changes this week sometime. If the staff likes everything or just has some minimal changes, I would be able to make those edits and start designing the next proofs. Then we could set up a time for a meeting next week to take a look at them.
Let me know when you hear from them and we can go from there. Talk to you soon! :)

Blake,
See below requested edits in red. I had a couple comments/questions about the below requests.
* Is there any other place to put the 2nd school button instead of under the parish section since it technically isn't part of the parish?
* Are the buttons and boxes smaller and the top menu items scrunched toward the right of the screen just b/c they are in preview mode? I viewed the homepage in full screen but only 54.7%. When I increased to 100% the size, buttons etc were perfect but everything was left aligned (cut off a little on the left).
* Is there any other image you recommend in place of the ceiling image?
Greg
To: Greg Henkel
My initial thoughts:
Looks good!! I really like it! See specifics below.
* I think the words need to be much bigger on all of the the buttons. They are all quite small.
* Need a donate online icon (WeShare) on the top with phone facebook, YouTube, etc.
* Explore our Parish section: Needs a School button! I know it is at the top, but it can’t be left out here.
* Church ceiling image is nice background, but too dark to really see what it is.
* What will happen if they push the phone button at the top? There isn’t a phone button at the bottom of page, why not?
* Add donate online (WeShare) icon at bottom of page.
* I couldn’t really see it on my phone, but I don’t imagine the preview is set up to show it’s mobile capability

Hi Greg,
Glad to hear everyone is liking the site so far and have only some minimal changes. I am currently working on making the requested edits and also going to create some basic inner page designs.
Is there a day and time in the middle of the week that will work to have a meeting? Let me know and we can figure out what will work for us both. Looking forward to hearing from you!

In regards to your question about the page builder I asked our manager and here is some more information about that. We build our websites to use Wordpress' Gutenberg editor to build pages. If you are wanting to use a website builder, we may need to re-quote the build hours of the project if our developers need to build with Elementor in mind. Also, having never used Elementor, we are not sure of what issues you may run into later when trying to update the website.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help. I look forward to speaking with you on Thursday at 1 pm! Thanks!

I have attempted to email you all day and just now have a moment to do so.
I cannot attend our 1pm Zoom mtg tomorrow. I am extremely busy the next 2 days.
I do have some available time on Friday from 8am up to 1030am? Does that work for you? If not, let's schedule something for next week.

Good Morning Greg,
Unfortunately Friday during those times I am unavailable. I bring the kids to daycare between 8 - 8:30 am and then I have a meeting scheduled with another client at 10:30 am.
I think it would be better to schedule something for early next week so we aren't pressed for time. Monday, the 22nd, I have times open from about 9 am - 10:30 am, then from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Tuesday, the 23rd, I am pretty wide open, 9 am - 3:00 pm. If there is a date and time between those days let me know, if not we can figure out what works best and get something scheduled. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Blake,
Good afternoon.
I believe we will use an image similar to the one on our bulletin. I hopefully will email it to you tomorrow. So you won't have to design the image at all.
For our name please use the following:
St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church
You can put it in an attractive, church font with appropriate size. That's the only thing we will have to approve. But it shouldn't take much, if any, time to get agreement on it.
Thanks.
Greg

Hi Greg,
Thanks for sending the image of the church. I guess I have a question about what we are wanting to do for the logo. We had spoke about creating a icon version of the church, almost using inspiration like this one:
I wanted to confirm if thats what we were wanting to do? If we are wanting to use the image you sent as the logo itself, I don't think that would really work for the website, and as a logo in general. Using that image in the slider would be more than fine, but using it for the acutal logo, I just dont recommend that. Let me know what you are wanting to do for it and if you have any questions. Thanks Greg, talk to you soon!

Blake,
Just got your message.
The input I received was that this image is present in a lot of the social media we use, and it is located in the upper left hand corner. I was told to put this in the same spot on our website--it will need to be reduced to fit to size-- and then add our parish name with the font name I sent you.
Please call me if you have any questions at 740-392-4711 x104.
What are our goals for this week?
