Hey everyone, I have some really exciting news.
We have just announced the hiring of our new Art Director for professional services, @AmyPye
Amy and I (and REW) have worked together for many years on special projects (such as carlycarey.com’s branding) and she is a super genius when it comes to all things brand and design.
Our game has just been brought up even more notches and I can’t wait to work on more projects with you Amy!
Ahem, like this one! 
Thanks for the warm welcome @Morgan! So excited!
Thanks Brandon (Amy’s awesome!)
For clarity though, Amy worked on Carly’s branding (Logo, tagline, colours, brand standards etc) it was myself and another set of our awesome design team members (Monica at the time and Lindsay) did the website work.
Truly a team effort and want to make sure all the epic talent that worked on it gets recognized (Also several programmers like Jesse, Matt H, Anthony H, Matt P, and SEO & PPC folks Michael and Derek)
Takes a village! 
Thanks @brandon! Super happy with how that brand turned out and the team did a great job of applying it to the website!
PS - I just spoke with AJ and we are planning a “project takeover” of your current Renaissance website. This means @AmyPye and I (she’ll be your designer, I’ll be your SEO) are going to give your already awesome web project a big boost!
Amy, I haven’t told you yet, just decided last night. Let’s chat 
@Morgan Exciting! Looking forward to chatting about it.
I’ll ping you today before or after AJ’s webinar
@Morgan This is amazing. Looking forward to this. You are right about it taking a Village, your team over the past five years has been nothing short of amazing to work with.
It’s going to be a lot of fun PS, AJ says we need to hit you up for source files (Logos, high res images of barbara etc) can you shoot me an email with a dropbox or drive? CC amy @ rew.com?
Thanks brother.
You bet, I shared a drive link with you and Amy yesterday afternoon and have exchanged emails with Amy as well. If you need me to send the link again let me know.
@Morgan, @ajhazzi and @brandon… I took some time since the webinar to work on the new website and here it is! Looking forward to getting it built! 
@AmyPye Mock-up looks great. I understand Renaissance allows us to easily update images, correct? So we could change the snowy dock image to a spring or summer themed image as needed? @ajhazzi @Morgan
Hey Brandon, that image is custom (not part of Renaissance) but we can put it in a snippet for you, so that you can change it out any time you want. Ideally (because we always want it to be plus ultra, you’d ping us and we’d handle it for you (you have a big retainer with our agency, and that’s what it’s for) but certainly we can make that custom CTA editable for you.
But yes, as for “out of the box” Renaissance elements, changing photos etc is super easy: Here’s an example post How to add a photo to the featured communities section
We have a whole guide on this and it comes with videos!
Nice, yes our retainer is great - nice to have the time locked in each month for edits and such. Lets us concentrate on converting our internet inquiries and selling homes!
@brandon We’re going to add in an extra row of communities and some seller focused tiles as per @ajhazzi 's request. I think having the additional CTA’s is a great idea.
@AmyPye @ajhazzi @morgan - great! I just shared a Google document that AJ created with the three seller focused CTA’s - there is also some program info in it to help the SEO team develop landing pages
@brandon I see that! This is super helpful. Thank you!
