Check-in with [[Consume Media]]'s Lydia and Michael Rosenberg on their site build progress. They've been filling in content and blocks themselves on an ad hoc basis and are close to finishing the core pages and page templates. Agreed they'll batch all outstanding functionality bugs/requests (front-end via Marker, back-end via a Loom walkthrough) by Monday for Chris to review before Tuesday's call, aiming to lock functionality, finish QA, and launch by early June.

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.

Chris LaFay walked the [[Consume Media]] team (Lydia Rosenberg, Landon Schellman) through the new site build: all 92 projects and blog posts imported at ~90% accuracy, dynamic filtering on the work page by product/strategic goal/service line, and placeholder pages (approach, products, contact) still needing real content. They covered how to use Marker to submit QA tickets, distinguishing global/shared blocks (like the trusted-by bar) from templated ones, and agreed to schedule a page-building deep-dive call the week of the 13th before handing off site access. Contact form still needs a real email address wired in, and Chris had to cut the call short for another meeting before locking the date.

Chris LaFay and Dawn Audano walked Lydia Rosenberg (Consume Media) through the site build ahead of client QA, covering how to use Marker.io for bug reporting, in-scope vs out-of-scope feedback, and font/spacing sizing rules driven by the block library. They flagged accessibility contrast issues on testimonial text and the CTA green background block that will need fixes before handoff, and worked through a header/subheader layout problem for long project titles like the Mercedes Benz Stadium testimonial page, landing on a possible custom-code solution using a pre-header field. Consume Media's team retreat pushed their QA session to next Wednesday the 8th, with a lighter individual pass requested for Tuesday and feedback to be consolidated in Asana using Marker before that meeting.

Chris walked the [[Consume Media]] team through the WordPress block library and reusable building blocks (heroes, testimonials, case studies, floating images, CTAs) built for their site redesign, explicitly framed as a showcase and not a QA session since the design is already approved. Development is roughly 90% complete, with Samson moving fast on remaining polish, margin fixes, mobile responsiveness, and carousel work. Dawn will follow up with Samson this week to confirm a firm date for sharing the next iteration for QA, with a rough target of next Tuesday.
