“Hey Danny!
Happy Friday 🙂 I wanted to just touch base with you about our design. Desirae has been great is all her help and trying to adjust everything she can. What I’m concerned about is when we were shown the proof and approved for the final structure/design of the site, it was only of the home page and no other pages. We found out that we can’t do a certain thing or two because it’s already been created and coded. So here’s the thing. I get that. However, when I spoke with you, in the beginning stages of creating our site and coming on board with Optimized 360, it sounded like we could still work on swtiching/adjusting a few areas if needed once we got going. I’m running into a lot of things that have already been coded, so they can’t be adjusted.
Examples:
If you look on our site, the additional pages (like pages you go to from the menu) we wanted our logo in the middle of the two phone numbers. Again, this design wasn’t shown before hand because it wasn’t on the home page
Social media icons – I had asked for them to be arranged in a certain order and I’m being told the code was already written and we can’t adjust the order. Not add anything, just rearrange.
Icons for the menu pages (on home page) I thought that as long as this section existed, then we could adjust the names or whatever as needed (if things change) I understand we can’t change the layout but I was in need of adding two more icons because we didn’t think about them, and now being told we can’t.
It just sounds like a lot of no’s and can’ts. We’ve paid our money in full, for the year for everything. And again, this isn’t towards Desirae or what she’s doing because she’s really doing so much for us. I just was under a different understanding when we spoke a few months ago about the limitations of the site. We want to get this right, the first time. Trust me, I don’t want to keep changing and switching the layout. BUT we need this to be what we expect it to be. And done the way we want it.
The thing with the process of approving the design of the site was it was only a screen shot, never anything interactive, how things would work, etc. I’m a very hands on person and need to explore and dive into things to get a good feel for how they work.
I was reaching out to you because I wanted to see what Optimized 360 can do. Maybe there’s something you’re able to say to have the design team help us out make this the best site we know it can be. I don’t want to be just satisfied, I want to be wowed!
Thanks for hearing me out and seeing who you can get me in touch with about the structure of the site. I appreciate anything you can do to allow us to make the corrections needed. Thanks again for your time!”
Done
