What is a landing page?

A landing page is simply a single web page that’s built with one goal in mind—getting your visitor to take a specific action (e.g. fill in form, donate, sign up to email, etc). Think of it as a targeted “destination” on your website, where someone arrives after clicking an ad, an email link, or a social‐media post.

What is a discovery meeting?

A discovery meeting is the first structured conversation between you, the team and stakeholder. Its sole purpose is to uncover everything you need to know in order to design the right solution—whether that’s a new website, a marketing campaign, a software project, etc..

Where are the discovery questions?

This is a list of generic discovery questions that will be asked of the Stakeholders. Not every question may be applicable depending on the circumstance. This is just a guide use at your own discretion.

Phases

1: Discovery

1. Assemble the team - Once the HOS ticket has been approved by steering committee, project managers need to identify the people to be on the project. I.e. Web team members, Story team members, Stakeholders, etc.
2. Discovery meeting - Schedule a a discovery meeting with all team members and stakeholders to identify
   •  scope
   • develop more context
   • identify hinderances
   • understand the strategy
   • ideate, etc.

If there is no strategy, or the strategy does not align with Jesus Film's objectives, itthe project will be rejected. Due to limited resources we can only commit to projects that are clearly aligned to the organization objectives and goals.

2: Content & Design

Wireframes - After the Discovery meeting the copy writers (Story) team will collaborate with web design (Web)Web team) to develop content, mock-up layouts and eventually wireframe 

Further collaboration - Copy writers and web designers may need to collaborate with SEO (Web team) if this landing pages needs to rank in search engines. Deliverables - team presents wireframe (not finished design) to Stakeholders for approval and feedback. Back and forth - if there is feedback and updates required, these will need to be re-delivered and approved Finalization of wireframes - Once approved, the team can move onto phase 3.

 

What is a wireframe?

A wireframe is a simple, low‑fidelity sketch of a web page or app screen that shows the basic layout and structure—where elements like the header, navigation, images, text blocks, and buttons will go—without any colors, fonts, or detailed graphics. Think of it as the blueprint or floor plan.

3: Build

Provide assets - All images, copy, videos and other assets need to be given to web developer (Web team) in the correct format, size, compression etc. Functionality - UX (Web team) to collaborate with web developer to communicate desired functionality, aesthetics and expectations of finalized landing page Development - Web developer will proceed on building out the landing page Approval - Both web team and creative (Story team) need to approve final build of landing page (stakeholders are not included in approval process as this point) Review - Stakeholder is able to review landing page. No further changes will be accepted as this point. Updates can be made post launch

All landing pages need to built on the staging site, not the live/production version of the website. the staging site can be found here: develop.jesusfilm.org

4: Launch

Web team to launch page into production Link to landing page URL will be shared to project managers who will share it to respective team members

5: UpdateUpdates (Post Launch)

If there are required updates that are simple and easy to fix such as changing and image, or changing some text then it will be done post launch If there is a significant updated or change required a new HOS ticket will need to be processed.
