Meeting
Apex Trading - Current
Gist
Chris LaFay walked Apex Trading's Rob Fess and Andrew Bernhardt through global styling fixes on the WordPress rebuild (font, colors, headings, synced blocks) and then scoped the remaining six pages to build: California rules/regulations, services, wholesale cannabis Oregon sellers, guide page updates, and after a last-minute swap, buyers instead of the sellers order management page. Chris will record developer walkthrough videos as each page is built, plus a custom block for state-based dynamic seller pulls from the API. Chris drew a firm line that this closes out the included QA rounds under contract, with any further code changes after go-live billed as a fourth QA round at $2,500.

What came out of it
Decisions5
- Dropped the buyer's page from the six-page build list, then swapped it back in, dropping the wholesale cannabis sellers order management page instead
- Confirmed the six pages to build: California rules/regulations, services, wholesale cannabis Oregon sellers, buyers, guide page updates, and the API state-selector block
- Agreed this round of work constitutes the final QA round under the existing contract
- Agreed any post-launch code changes will be billed as a fourth QA round at $2,500
- Confirmed font color and Poppins font issues would be fixed globally rather than page-by-page
Risks and blockers3
- Client (Rob) pushed back on whether post-delivery issues found in the new pages would count as billable QA or be treated as included fixes, exposing scope-definition tension
- Site has been in a reactive, non-standard QA process for the past month rather than clean structured rounds, muddying what is 'done'
- Andrew Booth (developer) still needs to confirm details on the state API import/dynamic block build
Open questions3
- Will page duplication for the 50-state pages be done via manual duplication or bulk spreadsheet import, and does the import tool require IDs or auto-generate them?
- What is the exact timeline for finishing the remaining developer work and moving to WP Engine to go live?
- Which shared/synced footer CTA blocks appear on which pages, since there are five slightly different versions?
Next steps6
- MeBuild out the six remaining pages (California rules/regs, services, wholesale cannabis Oregon sellers, buyers, guide page updates) and record developer walkthrough videos
- MeBuild the custom API-driven state-selector block for seller listings
- MeTalk with developer Andrew Booth about remaining API/import work and get back to Rob with a timeline
- VendorTest both duplication and spreadsheet-import methods for creating the 50-state pages
- ClientFinish content and copy for the buyers and sellers pages so duplication work can begin
- MeConfirm timeline for delivery and DNS switch to take the site live on WP Engine
