Meeting
Gavin Taylor - F2F
Gist
Chris and Gavin Taylor covered several threads: Gavin's referral/ads split structure for clients ($1500/mo or 10% of spend, with a third going to referrers), an update on the Local Jungle rebuild moving toward Astro with Claude-generated static sites replacing WordPress, and a live demo of a mockup client-onboarding/site-template app Chris built that Gavin wants to sync with ClickUp. Gavin reported Local Jungle already launched a new client site in under two weeks using the shared template, and wants a preview link to Chris's mockup to potentially pitch to Craig. No firm commitments were made beyond Chris continuing to build out the mockup and send preview URLs.

What came out of it
Decisions2
- Gavin will optimize the Penguin 2 WordPress site as the new template before migrating to Astro
- Gavin's ad referral split with Chris will be a third of the $1500/mo fee ($500) if Chris refers clients
Risks and blockers3
- An old client's deleted Facebook profile may not be restorable by Facebook, a coin-flip outcome
- WordPress site speed has been wildly inconsistent (40-90 range) due to caching/CDN conflicts between WP Rocket and Cloudflare
- Local Jungle plans to switch developers (E2M) eventually, which Gavin expects to be painful
Open questions3
- Whether existing tools like Basecamp/ClickUp could replace the need for Chris's custom onboarding app
- How the master vetting/onboarding sheet will be restructured into the new app
- Whether Gavin will re-engage Chris soon to finish the Local Jungle plugin for the Astro approach
Next steps4
- MeSend Gavin preview URLs (Dashboard, Client, Sitemap HTML) for the mockup onboarding app
- MeContinue building out the mockup app with client identity, page info, sitemap, and look-and-feel tabs
- ClientTalk to Craig about the mockup app and whether Local Jungle should adopt it
- ClientReach out to Chris if ads help is needed for a client
