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”.

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

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