#6 May 28: Conference call, website pricing – 1 hour

We had our meeting via Zoom today, which led to further exploration of finding a host for the new ICC website. A lot of options exist for maintaining a site–GoDaddy and Wix are among the more popular ones. I mentioned earlier that I do not consider myself to be a wiz at building pages from scratch, but I have been able to keep this site going with the ease of WordPress. I also use Bluehost for my needs, and my experience with them will factor in the recommendation I make to the group.

Something else that came up was market research on projects similar to what we want to do. For competitive reasons, I still cannot fully disclose what that is, but investigative research is always fascinating. It gives you a pretty good idea of what else is out there and how you measure up.

Today marks one week since I began working with the ICC. There are still some nuances that I am getting used to like understanding the project itself, but I am in close contact with the ICC partners, who are very good about offering their suggestions. If I were to have a memorable moment of the past week, it would be crafting the news release for the project. Given my background, that is something I have always enjoyed doing. A lot more will be coming down the pipeline in that area and I am looking a great deal forward to bringing my unique style to those endeavors.
