Hi Matt,

Thanks for running through that! There are a few parts I'm still seeing as missing, which may be beyond your purview:
1. How many Emmys have been nominated and won that is listed on the home page (the quantities are still x's)
2. What year Rob founded Spirit Juice on the About page
3. More details about each of the projects chosen for each of the key project areas. We have the list of videos to highlight for each one, but not really any data about their success. Is that something you are tasked to give us or would that go back to Branden and the team?

Thanks,

Hey Matt,

One further update here; Branden mentioned you were also in the meetings with Spirit Juice about the site over the past week. We met with Branden briefly today to discuss the final list of the main areas of focus, and this is what we came to. Branden is going to get one final confirmation on it so we'll let you know if there are further adjustments, but barring that here's the list in order:

• Promotional
• Fundraising
• Documentary
• Narrative
• Educational

We also mentioned having similar pages for Vocational, Events, and possibly music videos, that would not be included in the main menu, but that will be added later.

I'm going to update the home page and menu structure to reflect that today, so when you get into it tomorrow you'll be good to go.

Thanks,

Hey Matt good morning,

Yes I can do that. Can you do 3pm EST? I'll send zoom info.

Hi Matt,

I'm Nik, an Account Manager at Sprout Studios and am working with Nathan on the Spirit Juice project. Nice to meet you! We really can't do much work till we have the copy finalized, so no worries about the delay. Here's what I would propose for next steps here:
1. You and I have a brief meeting to go over what's already there and make sure you have what you need to work. I also want to give the thought process behind each section as we have worked it out with Rob and Branden.
2. You work until EOD on Dec. 21st to make the changes you want to implement. We're also asking the SJ team to submit the rest of their input by that date.
3. We'll then block out the week after Christmas to make all rest of the changes.
Does that work for you? I know you said you work mostly evenings and weekends, but is there a time in the next few days that we could touch base? I'm not opposed to accommodating your schedule to meet briefly outside of hours, it's just less ideal.

Let me know,

Thanks,
Nik Sternhagen

Hi Matt,
It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm happy to create a login and answer any questions that might come up. If you're not familiar with Divi, we may want to set a quick time for Nik to walk you through the builder we use.

We will refrain from making any changes to the site while you have access so there aren't any accidents, so once you have an idea of the scope of the work, would you be able to let us know when we should let ourselves back in?

Tomorrow we can get a login for you and you should be good to go!

Perfect!

Hi Branden,
I think that's fine, but I took some time to check with the team and give it the due reflection as this isn't something we normally do. It's a totally reasonable request, but as it's outside our usual process there might be unforeseen consequences to timeline and project complexity.

I would caution that experience with WP is not experience with the builder we use. It is deceptively simple. Making adjustments with the wrong settings can get the same final result, but accidentally create hours of extra work.

We would ask that he only make changes to copy and not any other settings or adjust the on page design or typography settings. We will have to do a lot of work to make all the text look good for desktop and mobile. That is a final phase and it's tricky to get right.

Here's what I would propose:
We allow access for whatever time is needed. During this time we won't make any changes.
After he is done, we will restrict access to finish our work.
If needed we can do a couple rounds of this, but I imagine it may not be necessary.
Of course, once the site is live, anyone on your team can have whatever access is needed and we can provide training to bring anyone up to speed as well.

How does that sound? Could we define a timeline for us to lock ourselves out?
