- We already had a pretty good idea of the client's needs and goals from our meeting with Jeannine. However, since Susan will be approving most aspects of the site, we felt that it would be a good idea to meet her and get her direct input on the project.
- The designers completed a great Information Architecture for the meeting.
- Susan wants a blog on the homepage, perhaps an aggregate newsfeed of the blogs on the various project pages, with image thumbnails.
- Susan approved of the idea of a jQuery plugin to display images in the form of a gallery or slideshow, and we agreed that she may want to stick with Vimeo for now for video hosting (since there is a time limit on YouTube, and their one video is about 30min).
- Susan sent us GCJ's existing applications for new interns and volunteers, for us to extrapolate fields to go into the Contact page form. Kevin suggested that Ty and I look into Contact 7 plugin for the form.
- Susan says that she would be willing to spend a little money on WP plugins if necessary (hopefully less than $30), but we assured her we would try to find free ones if possible.
- Susan confirmed that we can bypass the Store page.
- I reiterated the hit-or-miss nature of SEO, which Susan understood. I also re-emphasized to her that I am a big proponent of Twitter, for networking, for educating, and for SEO. She understood, but did not seem too thrilled at the necessity of "one more thing to learn."
TIME SPENT: 1.75 hours.
