I agree with John, option 2. I know it takes a little longer, but it can't
hurt us to get more sample designs.

I am in favor of requesting the additional people we brought forth at the
meeting to submit sample designs. Once we decide on a new logo it can be
integrated into everything we do and we will get more value out of the
money we are currently spending on professional help.

I agree with Brenda-- some good changes have been made today. I'm glad we
are moving toward a responsive design so it works on mobile devices.
From a marketing/ design perspective, this has a long way to go. I think
our best bet would be to pay a professional to help get it user friendly
and focus on what's most important to feature. It should also integrate
a new logo-- building a whole branded theme for all print and digital
projects.
So back to the logo project-- I've been conflicted since we have so many
different issues with different designers going on right now. I think we
now have two new options to choose from:
1. Choose Amy St Clair as our designer, tell her we'd pay her something,
and have her make any revisions to her options we'd like. 2. Go back to
soliciting portfolio work and bids from our list of designers (but not
Amy-- we've got enough to decide if she's our designer or not at
this point) and then choose one designer from there to make us multiple
artwork options.
Any comments or concerns with these two options?

I have made the changes I am able to and contacted the web developer
the issues I cannot address.our
We have the dietary button on the front page for our non sponsored
event guests of whom there are thousands and literally hundred who
need to contact us prior to their group arriving. We direct the
contact for each group to let their people know the button is on the
home page for easy access.
On a side note, I asked the consultant we met with in WV last week to
review the changes we have made and he was ecstatic about hoe
improved
site was, and pleased that we put his training information intoway
action.

Hi John,
A few things on the new website...There seems to be a big
difference with the website viewed on computer vs. smartphone.
The view on my
laptop is really nice, on my iphone, I see a lot of problems.
Photos are great but I can only pull up one photo at a time to
see a larger photo and have to arrow back to pull up the next
photo. Would be nice to be able to swipe thru on the phone or
arrow forward the whole section. This happens on both computer and
phone...
I would like to see the initial page more appealing in color and
font. There is purple & orange and then our beautiful building
which are more natural colors. Would like it to match or blend
better. The font of our tagline feels outdated.
Is the "upcoming events" section completed or still in progress?
My
laptop showed a blank space there but my phone had weird codes and
camp descriptions that don't make sense. On my iphone the
"upcoming Events"
pops up under several tabs, which I thought was unnecessary.
Under the "about us" tab, under "mission statement" section, some
words are cut off in my iphone version.
I also think "dietary requests" doesn't necessarily need to be on
the first page-not important for someone new checking out RP
online in my opinion.
I do like the comments on the bottom of first page but would like
to see a heading such as "visitor comments" or something...to make
it stand out. this pops up at the very bottom of the iphone
version, and needs to have a heading.
Under "youth camps", I'd like to see the individual youth camps
in bold to make them stand out more, so they could be easily
found.
I love the video and can't wait to have another-maybe one to
highlight conferences at RPC?
I hope my feedback is helpful and not petty. That's my two
cents. Brenda

Dear Board members,
Based on the conference last week and the input of our designer,
we have changed the look for the website. When you have time,
please check it out and let me know what you think. If you notice
any links that don't work, or edits we missed, please pass that
along as well. http://www.rosspoint.org
