Website Status Board

critical reminder: no category changes!

Do not change any category list on the prep site or the old site until launch. These were frozen as of October 2019:

  • Categories
  • Causes
  • Member Orgs

Making changes to these lists will cause data corruption that won’t be apparent until Launch day.

See the Scope Document for details.

Reference: Image Sizes

Hero Image

Width (Pixels)

Height (Pixels)

Notes

Hero Image

1260

400

The large header image on many pages. Though the image must look good at this wide aspect ratio, it’s okay if the image is taller, so long as cropping it to 1260 x 400 looks good. That’s the shortest and widest size at which the site will show this image.

Member Logo

200

200

White background; for the logo to appear in all relevant places, the logo’s file name must be formatted as csw-member-SLUG-logo.IMAGETYPE, for example: csw-member-sierra-club-logo.png and csw-member-chrysalis-logo.jpg

Image in Body Content

400-600

varies

Can vary depending on the content; 4 x 3 (width x height) is a good guideline

Featured Image (ideal)

835

626

WordPress featured image for a post; 4 x 3; larger than this provides no benefit and slows page loading

Featured Image (min)

500

375

WordPress featured image for a post; 4 x 3; smaller than this will blur at some screen sizes

Photo for Testimonial

200

200

Should be roughly square, with the face roughly center-top; larger is okay, but might slow page load times

Photo in 50-50 layout

630

varies

Height can vary depending on the content

Update Donation Page

READY ENOUGH!

Blackbaud has updated the donation page. Some edits are pending, but the new URL is available and the page basically matches the new site.

“Site Unavailable” Page for Launch Day

READY!

We need a simple “Site Unavailable” page for visitors on launch day.

Redirect URLs from Old Site

READY!

The new site’s pages will have different URLs than corresponding pages on the old site. Create a list of mappings saying “if someone tries to visit page URL X on the old site, redirect them to page URL Y on the new site.”

See the Scope Document for details.

Posts (Old Site)

For all new posts on the live (old) site added from now until launch, check all relevant Categories, Causes, and Member Orgs. Also, add a featured image. This includes posts of these types:

  • News
  • Voices
  • Results
  • Supporters
  • Heroes

For old posts on the live (old) site, confirm that a reasonable number of recent posts of each type have been updated with categories and featured images. Specifications for featured image size are above.

See the Scope Document for details — the section titled “For Existing Posts on the Old Site”.

DONE!

Update at least the 2 most recent posts for each Member (for example, “ABC for Health”). These are posts in the admin menus “News,” “Results,” “Voices,” and/or “Heroes” that have been flagged with the Member in question. In any listing of posts, you can see Members listed in their own column. For example, if you go to News in the admin menu, you’ll see a Members column.

DONE!

Update at least the 3 most recent News Story posts (preferably 6 or 9). These are items in the “News” admin menu option with a category of “News”.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Big Share posts. These are items in the “News” admin menu option with a category of “Big Share”.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Press posts. These are items in the “News” admin menu option with a category of “Press Coverage”.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Events posts. These are items in the “News” admin menu option with a category of “Events”.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Recent Results posts. These are items in the “Results” admin menu option.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Inspiring Voices posts. These are items in the “Voices” admin menu option.

DONE!

Update at least the 9 most recent Backyard Hero posts. These are items in the “Heroes” admin menu option. The simplest approach for these featured images is to put the two heroes’ photos side-by-side in a 4 x 3 image. You can see an example of this here.
