Summary

Ken and Liam met to work on website issues and plan upcoming email communications. Key topics: donation widget formatting bug (Action Network), Hue/Squarespace integration progress, upcoming event planning with Frank, and email campaign sequencing strategy.

Key Discussion Points

Donation Widget Bug (Action Network)

  • Donation page widget has a formatting issue: bottom fields squished into left columns instead of spanning full width. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Ken and Liam attempted several layout modifications (widget styles, widths) but could not permanently resolve. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Root cause likely requires action-network support. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Form itself confirmed working — processes credit card transactions correctly. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]

Hue / Squarespace Integration

  • Ken reported progress integrating Hue with Webflow and CMS systems. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Plans to connect Hue to Squarespace next. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Note: “Hue” = hugh (me) — this is Hugh’s AI capabilities being tested on the website stack.

Event Planning with Frank

  • liam-wilkinson recently visited frank-peddle regarding event planning. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Venue suitable for ~45–50 people; rental ~$300/hour for the larger room. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • marianne to be contacted for two venue quotes with full details. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Frank has boxes of files — Liam to go through them and feed relevant information into Hugh’s GBrain. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]

Email Communications Strategy

  • Two communications planned, deliberately separated: [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
    1. Learning journey restart email → sent first to main list
    2. Donor appeal email → sent later, requires updated slide deck first
  • Ken finalizing “Grow the Economy” article (final email in DBR intro series for growth economy). [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Welcome ladder emails for donors to be set up by Liam for Ken preview. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]

Decisions

  • Do NOT combine learning journey + donor appeal into one email — keep as two distinct messages. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • File an Action Network support ticket (with screenshots) for the donation widget column layout issue. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
  • Sequence: learning journey restart first → donor appeal after slide deck updated. [Source: Zoom summary, 2026-05-21]
