Aaron - Current

How was your weekend, Aaron? I just got back from New York on Saturday and so it was a whirlwind couple of days up in the city. So I, I have come back a little bit more tired than expected, but that's okay. Oh. Oh, no. Oh, The joys. The joy. Pleasure to meet you, sir. Looking forward to this. This will be a lot of. It's. Yes. So when the website's launched, we like, we do not like, we don't do hosting first off. And so will host on a server that you guys own. And that basically means you have access to all your code. So you can just do whatever the heck you want to with it at that point. Yeah, Yeah. So we would just have to look at the overall timeline. And so typically when we do reviews of, there's obviously small reviews that happen kind of in between things that we mostly collect most of our feedback kind of like live on that call. Like, hey, we talked about switching the button. This is what the button looks like. Good. Yeah, great, done. But for the main piece and the piece that always takes the longest is when the website goes over to you guys for like full blown qa. Like you actually view it in a browser using that little marker tool that Don was talking about. Where you click the button, it takes a screenshot. What we recommend doing is whether that's done in 48 hours does not matter with the knowledge that timelines get increased. What we recommend, though, when going through these larger pieces of qa, and that's mostly going to be the main homepage from a design from. Let me actually back up. So going to the beginning of the process, the bigger pieces of QA are going to be the main homepage and then the actual click through. Because with this project in particular, from a design standpoint, we're going to take a lot of your core design esthetic and then just start tweaking it and changing around some. It's not going to be these, like humongous overhauls. There will be different things, but it's not. We're not going to go from, you know, navy and orange and light gray to hot pink and purple with swooshes all over the place. Those two pieces, the homepage design and then the actual website QA at the. Toward the end when we know that we're going to deliver everything to you for qa, it's typically on a Monday. We like to line these things up with our Monday meetings as much as possible. At some point during that week, schedule a time where you and whoever cares sit down Together, virtually or in person, and just knock it out in a couple of hours. Because what we have seen happen is when it. When that process takes longer, it's when person A submits feedback on one day, person B submits feedback on a different day, and then those two people actually have conflicting ideas, and therefore the whole process takes a lot longer. And so if we give you something on Monday, let us know when you guys have scheduled to do your review and then we'll then plot out, you know, because then we'll have to go back and do revisions and updates to things, and that takes time as well. So to. So that's how we typically were. We're actually in the middle of doing that right now with a client. We delivered them something last Monday and they were on their team retreat, and so they scheduled a time the Friday that they got back, and that's when that timeline kind of got re. Kickstarted again. So, Yeah, Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. We're basically, what we're going to do is we're going to have somebody that understands content and website design in general and, and basically pull up our finalized block library and those existing pages and try to find something that matches up as close to one to one as possible. And then if you want to make changes to those pages later down the road, by all means you can do so. But that at least gets you up to date with your homepage and the main collection pages that are better than they were before and then a good foundation for the entire site that you can actually grow into at that point. So that sound good? Oh, yeah. Okay, awesome. Don, I'll talk with you about that a little bit later. We'll. We'll grab Studio Hawk for that. Perfect. That sounds good. I will let them know. I think the main person over there might be out of town this week, so that might start at some point next week. So just a heads up, I'll. I'll get the schedules online, but we have. We have some time. We don't. That's not a thing. That has to start today. Wonderful. That all sounds fantastic. So today my main goal is to really open up conversation around the design of various blocks. And I think between me and my designer, we have found out one of the reasons why your website feels so absolutely scattered and.
