Subject: VBM update 2, new pages and navigation are in

Hi Jennifer,

Good progress since the last note. Everything below is on the demo site.

DONE, READY TO LOOK AT

New navigation. Tabs across the top, Vacation Villa Rentals with the dropdown, Real
Estate Opportunities, Contact Us. Hamburger now only appears on mobile.

Four new pages built, all reachable from that dropdown:
- Services and Amenities
- Beach Grotto
- Location
- About Us

Booking links. All four villa Book Now buttons were dead, they went nowhere. Blue Ocean,
Serenita and Forget-Me-Not now go straight to their own villa in the booking engine.
Azure is the exception, more below.

Your photo swaps. Blue Ocean hero is now 0309, 0826, 8922, 1734. Forget-Me-Not middle
photo is replaced.

Hero video is trimmed and now hosted on the site rather than YouTube, so the Sotheby's
card and the corner logo are both gone.

You were right about that Forget-Me-Not photo, and it was worse than you thought. It
wasn't just an old shot, it was an architectural rendering, and of a different building.
Different roof, different materials. Good catch.

THINGS THAT CAME UP

1. Your Facebook preview images are a mess.
When someone shares a page, the preview picture is wrong or missing. Forget-Me-Not was
pulling another one of those renderings, which I've swapped for the real photo you sent.
Villa Blue Ocean is pulling a rendering too, a night shot of a courtyard. Serenita and all
four new pages have no preview image at all, so they share with a blank space.

Do you want to pick a photo for each page, or should I just choose sensible ones? Happy to
do the latter, it's quick.

2. Three villa pages are showing the same photos.
Azure Villa, Forget-Me-Not and Villa Blue Ocean all run an identical set of four photos in
the slideshow further down the page. Anyone comparing villas sees the same pictures on
each, which works against the whole "four distinct villas" idea. Do you have villa specific
shots for that section, or shall I pull from each villa's own gallery?

3. Contact Us isn't finished.
Both Contact Us pages in the site are completely empty. I can't build the page you
described until I know where real estate enquiries go. For now the menu item drops to the
contact form on the home page so it isn't a dead end.

4. Small one. The Location copy I took from the real estate page ends by calling the villas
"an opportunity to invest". That page now sits under Vacation Villa Rentals, so I softened
it. Change it back if you'd rather.

WHAT I NEED

Blocking:
- Azure and the booking engine. Still nothing I can do until Ray is back.
- Where do real estate enquiries go? Pat, Ben, both, or a shared inbox? This is holding up
  the Contact page.
- The pools. You said all heated at no charge, but the booking engine still sells two of
  them as heated for a fee and doesn't mention it at all for Blue Ocean. Can someone fix
  that on the SynXis side? I don't want the site and the checkout saying different things.
- DNS. Still need it, and confirmation you're happy for this to sit on the same server as
  the other Hartling sites.

When you get a chance:
- Preview images and the repeated villa photos, questions 1 and 2 above.
- The old rentals site testimonials, worth keeping or not?
- Photo gallery, you hadn't reviewed it.
- The home page still mentions Tesla battery storage on Forget-Me-Not. Remove that too?
- Only two of the four villa pages have a More Info button. Add it to all four?

NEXT

Building the Contact page as soon as you tell me where real estate goes, then a cleanup
pass, then we're into launch prep and waiting on DNS.

Still finding things as I go, so expect one more short list.
