Trying to work through a goDaddy legacy issue They still had me in their registry from like 2005-6? (Good Lord) It was in their Apache cache, they cleared it - deleted - but Aleks still banging against wall... Shot over an email Have you seen this before? Any ideas... If you can!! Weigh in

With ginormous gratitude - we’re attempting to move files & relocate site to sit w/ JA - Knew we’d bumps. But barriers, weird ones

Thanks for the good vibes & practical assess of last week’s go live, gone bad. I’m in Alek’s stable now, tea leaves positive. Huge week last week, lots moving on the mobility - smart city front. About 100% better positioned now to play that all forward 🦄

Hey Bert ! Any ability to possibly take on finishing up a major site relaunch, WordPress, with Aleks & I ? It’s an awesome company - they are bringing in & strapping on a CRM but the firm they are working with has been super difficult & not setting expectations well - know the company well - Company Decision maker is close long time ally - site is about 65-70% done, data migration, and finishing work to go...

Aug 07, 2018 11:08:24 AM (Read by you after 1 minute, 36 seconds) +15037578392

Let me know either way, chatting with the company about a plan B - they are not happy with how the job has been going - no one suggested a theme but have built off a designers designs... most of that work done, all word press

Aug 07, 2018 11:09:06 AM (Read by you after 54 seconds) +15037578392

Woo commerce & Zo Ho probably as CRM

Aug 07, 2018 3:09:00 PM (Read by you after 19 hours, 42 minutes, 35 seconds) +15037578392

General question - would you suggest clients use existing WP themes and customize existing page templates or do you see medium small business indulging in custom designed WP sites? Aren’t themes more resilient & cost effective? What’s your take Bert?

Aug 08, 2018 10:54:05 AM (Read by them after 31 seconds) Me

Hi Lisa! Got your messages. In terms of cost effectiveness I think its better for medium/small business to use established themes and build custom child themes on top to get things to visually “look” how they want. I clicked on the link you sent, but suspect the work in progress is somewhere else? This looks like an older site. LMK.

Aug 08, 2018 11:16:18 AM (Read by you after 20 minutes, 26 seconds) +15037578392

Exactly, pointed you to old site as reference. Sounds like this project will/is likely to be pulled in entirety - down to source files, today. Aleks is going to do an audit of code/on pages “built” - maybe a couple hours for you in there too - getting paid for discovery, novel but how it should be :-)

Aug 08, 2018 11:20:49 AM (Read by you after 15 minutes, 55 seconds) +15037578392

This way we would scope the project from what code may be salvaged or scrap it, if fatally flawed, and start fresh - deliverable from existing NEW site pages audit would be recommended paths forward & associated risk, benefit & contingencies - client gets to decide what best fits companies requirements & needs

Aug 08, 2018 11:24:43 AM (Read by you after 12 minutes, 1 second) +15037578392

Pending if client, my contact - pulls project. His expertise is climbing mountains - and running one of the oldest elite adventure experience companies in world (they run programs in 25 countries) Complexity in order of magnitude. digital is not his thing but client is incredibly smart, excellent writer, exceptional photographer & person

Thank you for notes Bert 🙏🙌👍

Cool. Thanks for the update and good to hear there is someone smart on the other end 😊 Sometimes lack of digital chops is OK if the person is at least open-minded and curious. Sometimes people fail to understand the complexities and effort required to make something happen even if you explain it to them in great detail.

Just a heads up for you. I’m jumping on a plane tomorrow to fly to NY with my youngest son to visit my parents for a week. Their 50th wedding anniversary is this weekend and my brother and I are throwing a party for them. I’ll have my laptop with me and working most of next week until I fly back on a late night flight on 8/16. Back in California full blast on 8/17 for the remainder of the summer.

Fires have been really bad, you guys doing okay?

Aug 08, 2018 12:45:00 PM (Read by you after 2 hours, 31 seconds) +15037578392

Aleks & I can probably run with audit but I do think we might team as a 3-some — if you can build this into your work flow in the day to day - to bid the full project through to launch. This is a life long ally, so being buttoned up & top level delivery will be key Or if you have any recommendations for a front end lead to pair with Aleks & I - welcome recommendations

Aug 08, 2018 12:45:51 PM (Read by you after 1 hour, 59 minutes, 40 seconds) +15037578392

Congrats!!! To your folks sounds like a really special thing you & your bro doing - good for you guys, hope it’s fantastic

If project of interest & a fit, time wise, we can give you visibility into audit as we design a scope and bid - just let me know. This audit phase, low load but hi yield - have you done much e-commerce builds or CRM Wordpress integrations Bert? Would be great to work w/ you on this...

Aug 09, 2018 12:18:47 PM Me

We're good on fire front. They're far away.

Aug 09, 2018 12:18:56 PM Me

Your plan sounds good.

Aug 09, 2018 12:19:09 PM Me

Insight into audit sounds good.

Aug 09, 2018 12:19:35 PM Me

I definitely have interest and time I can move around. Shouldn't be an issue.

Aug 09, 2018 12:20:07 PM Me

What's the clients deadline? Is there any hard dates at all?

Aug 09, 2018 12:31:36 PM (Read by you after 39 seconds) +15037578392

It’s a big build - about 330 page site, page designs completed & approved - so that piece in place to guide build - have a site map. Will get an email together with background. They place orders through site for climbs & treks. They also rent gear, complex trips & big travel scope.

Aug 09, 2018 12:31:50 PM (Read by you after 25 seconds) +15037578392

They have programs in 25 countries!

Aug 09, 2018 12:35:36 PM +15037578392

It’s actually an amazing firm, think I may build myself into the company ;-) their social responsibility program is substantive - may nest there, build into a whole elite adventure experience vertical, with a much larger community good - branded partnerships & reporting hub layer

Aug 09, 2018 12:40:10 PM +15037578392

Have some of the requirements in hand (forms for placing reservation, sequence lined out) but overall site functionality per segment needs clarification. Aleks still poking around what is there, looks like very little built yet...

Aug 09, 2018 12:40:53 PM +15037578392

Travel safe Bert !! Hope flight/s smooth & really glad🔥 not encroaching

That jersey is adorable

Aug 11, 2018 10:31:50 AM +15037578392

Should have “10” or even better “11” on it (spinal tap reference)

Aug 11, 2018 10:31:59 AM +15037578392

Will do Bert !

Aug 11, 2018 10:32:14 AM +15037578392

Enjoy the day’s celebration 🎉

Aug 11, 2018 10:33:02 AM +15037578392

Bid. Congrats ! To your folks (and you 2 bro’s making this all happen) Will mean so much to them ...

I love Aleks, he’s so good & a very very good heart - will be curious to get your take - shared context & front end details (site design) note % work has been on forms not site pages

Aug 13, 2018 11:35:42 AM (Read by you after 18 hours, 15 minutes, 54 seconds) +15037578392

Hey Bert - hope trip going great! not hearing confirmation or denial if ability to weigh in audit & totally understand you are with fam - FYI - asset audit, trying to get that out today. Can you confirm if you’d planned to offer any comment in audit cycle? If you are able to review - give a quick scan, top level remarks - that would be great. Assume you saw notes here & silence means you are not responding to work distractions ;-) should we bid this - I will need you in on that process & verification if you are interested & able to take on project or welcome front end dev folk recommends To an awesome today!

Aug 13, 2018 11:36:49 AM (Read by you after 18 hours, 14 minutes, 47 seconds) +15037578392

Bid process would be underway last week August - FYI

Aug 13, 2018 1:01:05 PM (Read by you after 16 hours, 50 minutes, 31 seconds) +15037578392

Confirming - no worries about comments on audit today. We’re okay on that, for you to see as back online. And notes, in text stream - above 👍🙌😎 & content in your inbox form me. Note!! Lisa @ creatureKind.com email

Aug 14, 2018 10:39:27 PM (Read by them after 2 seconds) Me

Hi Lisa, I can comment. Best for me would be Thursday night when I’m flying back to California. Been super busy with family and having some downtime.

No need to worry about any detailed read on this current cycle - in terms of audit, have “turned in” work. So that piece is done 👍

Aug 14, 2018 10:59:31 PM (Read by you after 10 seconds) +15037578392

But! The potential to bid the whole project is pending. That would need to be built out, so reviewing things w/ that lens 🙌 if we head that way, deadline last week Aug for our turning out numbers for client Full build out & launch

Aug 14, 2018 11:00:55 PM (Read by you after 7 hours, 56 minutes, 41 seconds) +15037578392

So glad your time home (first family) good & the celebration no doubt, super special - may travel home be kind 🌿

Hi Lisa, Back in CA at 3am this morning after a night of turbulence through Chicago. I’ll be able to spend time reviewing things tomorrow for sure and send you input/feedback on the overall bid, scale, scope, buildout, etc. and let you know what I think. Does the client have any particular deadlines, etc to be aware of? I ask because if they have tight timelines it may require us to bring in more hands to get things done quickly/efficiently. Let me know when you can. And Happy Friday! 😁

Aug 20, 2018 4:49:01 PM Me

Lisa, emailed you back on the thread. Had access issues I hope Aleksander can resolve. I like the design they have!

Hi Lisa, Checking in again. Emailed back yesterday on the website project and don’t see any reply via text or email. Imagine you’re busy. Just want to confirm receipt. I need Aleksander’s help in getting access because the passwords in the email will not let me in. Wanting to get a look at things so I can give you the full download on the front end work. I’m working all morning, have PT at 1pm and coaching soccer later in the afternoon. Let me know when you can. Thanks and Happy Tuesday!

Aug 22, 2018 12:36:19 AM Me

Glad to hear from you. Emailed a couple days ago with some replies but cannot access links because password is bad. Need to see state of site vs design to know full scope of work. I'll resend tomorrow. Be well!

Thanks Bert! Did you see the write up we turned in? I can try to forward that to you as well... later today should be able to download any attachments or email content... Aleks has been pretty responsive on Skype (in comment thread) - his dad has been sick :-( (It’s been a tuf 2018...)

Aug 23, 2018 10:10:58 AM (Read by them after 6 minutes, 20 seconds) Me

Hi Lisa, I saw the email threads, but not sure if I saw a “formal” document that you turned in. Also you mention Aleksander on Skype. What is his Skype handle? Don’t think I have that. I can ask him about passwords and getting access so I can see the state of design so far. Hope you’re having a great day!

Aug 23, 2018 12:54:13 PM (Read by you after 15 seconds) +15037578392

BTW - as you do look at email - in scope bottom of email - I’d mentioned to the client, my initial hope was to get your input in the audit mix. But! Aleks quickly determined there wasn’t much “front end” done yet (and you on holiday) So! we gladly ran with a quick initial scan of existing assets dev firm had been working on, over the past year...

Aug 27, 2018 1:18:12 PM (Read by them after 17 minutes, 34 seconds) Me

Hi Lisa, hope you’re well. My weekend was consumed with a soccer tournament with the team I coach. Mixed results for us, but they are kids 😊 I have your emails. I can see them in my inbox and my plan is to review them sometime today. There is a lot going on in the background for me right now (my wife and my son leave for Sierra’s camping tomorrow) my 2 other sons have multiple appointments, etc. So lots of plates spinning. If for some reason I’m unable to get a full set of feedback to you by EOD it will be to you by tomorrow. My plan is to read through everything and begin comments. So that will start today, but unsure how far I’ll get through until I’m deep in it. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and Happy Monday!

Quick context — Audit is over & that work turned in - now it’s more a matter of preparing a bid - but this may be that process ... can we speak for a minute?

Aug 27, 2018 2:13:16 PM +15037578392

This is pre-project scoping mode - just want to clarify process & objectives of looking through existing assets & workable elements

Hey there, as an aside Bert, Aleks unusually quiet as we’ve been whittling on this. He just shared his dad passed about 8 days ago :-((( Had an uneasy feeling - his dad so sick but w/ treatment there was much hope he’d recover Channeling him good vibes & context - why A has been so elusive...

Sep 05, 2018 9:22:53 AM Me
