HI GREN Exec,
I forwarded Kevin's list of requirements for the GREN website to Scott
and his initial response is below. I can set up the Zoom call - do you
all want to be part of that and any date/time restrictions?
Thanks,
Susan K

Hello Susan,
I have looked over the requirements for the GREN website and am fully
capable of building this for you. Will the website be expected to
receive money, or will just the details of how to pay for membership
fees be listed on the site? Basically, I am trying to ascertain whether
this will be an ecommerce site or not. Also, will the archived
presentations be in the form of text, or recordings, or video, or other?
I assume that your previous web developer was given all of the materials
for the site, logos, graphics, text etc. Does that mean that they are
already all in one place and ready to go?
If you can’t answer these questions now, that’s okay. They are what
bubbled to the top while I was reading.
Please keep me in the loop as to how the project is progressing and I’ll
be ready for any Zoom calls or correspondence.
Have a great day,
Scott

Hi Again Scott,
Kevin came up with this list below just to give you an idea what we're
looking for. I'm still waiting to hear back from the rest of the GREN
Exec to see if they want to be part of a Zoom meet, or just let Kevin
and I work with you to get a quote etc.
Thanks,
Susan

Thanks Scott!
Got your VM as well. I've forwarded your email to the other GREN
exec to discuss setting up a Zoom meeting with you to talk about
the website. I'll try and come up with a few dates and times or
do a doodle poll or something.
Stay well!

Hi Susan,
I got your message on Facebook. Sorry I didn’t respond
quicker but I don’t go on FB very often. I do much better
with email and text and phone, all numbers which are
included here. I just left you a phone message but I’ll
repeat what I said.
Yes, I do web development and making a website for an
organization like GREN is right up my alley. I am
affordable, fast, and well-trained. I tend to build fully
responsive (scalable to all devices), user-customizable,
functional sites.
As well as my constantly evolving personal music site
(www.scottwicken.com <http://www.scottwicken.com>), one of
my early sites that arose out of a college project was Old
Goat Books (www.oldgoatbooks.com
<http://www.oldgoatbooks.com>). I designed a browser based
system to input all of the books into a database, a search
engine, a system to put books on hold, a daily upload to
ABEbooks.com, a blogging section (which is unfortunately
underused) and contact forms.
An early, and constantly evolving, site I still work on is
Bhima’s Warung (www.bhimaswarung.com
<http://www.bhimaswarung.com>). Originally, the website
featured a menu that was fully editable by a manager, an
admin section, login/logout forms, and a photo gallery.
Since COVID, I have been very active in setting up multiple
takeout menus and shopping carts. Due to the changing
landscape of restaurant and retail, their website can hide
and show various menus based on what is ‘safe’ at the
moment. So, the ability to make a reservation, display a
dine-in menu, or a takeout menu, or special menus like
Valentine’s Day, or the Superbowl, can all be shown or
hidden. I have also set up a form for reservations. They can
also change the notices that pop up when you arrive at the
site so that they don’t have to hire me every time they want
to make an announcement.
The last website that I built was for a recording studio in
Nanton, Alberta (www.steveloree.com
<http://www.steveloree.com>). He wanted a very basic site
that showcased his multiple talents/services, previous
projects that he has worked on, contact page etc. I’m pretty
happy with it. It is a very clean and straight-forward site.
Currently, I am working on a local songwriters page and I am
also working on a webpage in Victoria BC for an organization
the does theatre with people with disabilities. They are
going to need to put lots of videos online, host live video
etc… that’s going to be fun.
It sounds like I am doing a lot, but I actually do have lots
of time available right now to take on your project if I am
what you need. I’d love to talk about what that is.
Have a great day,
Scott Wicken
