Meeting
Consume Media - Current
Gist
Chris LaFay ran a live Gutenberg training session for the Consume Media team (Lydia Rosenberg, Michael Rosenberg) to onboard them onto their new WordPress site ahead of self-serve content editing. He walked through hero sections, groups/padding, saved patterns (synced vs unsynced), custom blocks like testimonials and projects, page duplication via code editor, and the custom 'stackable windows' block, answering detailed CSS and UX questions along the way. Team was asked to tinker with the site over the next few days and return consolidated feedback rather than piecemeal notes. Also touched on separate SEMrush/sitemap migration work (900+ pages) that Brandon will lead, with some capacity needing to go to Samson.

What came out of it
Decisions3
- Team will not use page-duplication plugins; will use the built-in code editor to copy pages instead
- New projects and testimonials will be created via 'Add New' rather than duplicating existing pages
- Feedback should be consolidated and submitted in batches rather than as individual real-time notes
Risks and blockers4
- 900+ page sitemap migration is a large undertaking dependent on Brandon prioritizing it
- Samson currently has no assigned work and needs the family-of-company site work defined
- Some testimonial/blog content migrated with minor formatting errors (misaligned paragraphs) on ~10-15 posts
- Stackable window scroll-stop behavior is programmatic and can't be easily adjusted without a code change
Open questions3
- What are the ~40 family-of-company sites that need work, and can that be assigned to Samson?
- Will Consume Media use testimonial photos or switch to company logos instead of headshots?
- Should stackable window scroll-stop behavior be changed via a code update?
Next steps5
- MeSend Consume Media team a cheat sheet of recommended core Gutenberg blocks to use vs avoid
- ClientPlay with the new site, tinker with pages, and note recurring issues instead of flagging every small thing immediately
- ClientSubmit consolidated feedback in a few days so Classic City can batch fixes
- VendorDetermine list of family-of-company sites and assign migration work to Samson
- MeShow team how to copy and paste an entire page using the code editor (follow-up demo)
