Six things to look at, in the order that serves the meeting.

Six deliverables for the first working session on the Hook and Eye website rebuild — one live mockup plus the five documents that frame it. You can click through in whatever order you like; the ordering below reflects how I think it reads most easily. Nothing here is committed. Everything is a draft we ratify, redirect, or remix on Friday.

How to read this

Start with the mockup — it renders one of the four design directions at full fidelity, so you can see it, not just read about it. Then flip through the options slate to see the other three directions laid out alongside the recommended one. The brief is my read-back of what you told me on the 17th, written so you can correct anything I misread before we build further.

The sitemap, domain-transfer path, and question list are the scaffolding: what pages we're building toward, how we get the domain off Wix cleanly, and a short list of things I need your read on before I can keep moving.

If time is short: look at the mockup, skim the options slate, come to the meeting with a gut reaction. Everything else we can walk through together.

Live mockup
01 · see it, not just read about it

Direction A — rendered as an actual page

The recommended direction ("graphic-novel primary") built as a real HTML page. Hero, tagline, portfolio carousel, social-proof strip, who-we-are teaser, footer. Open it on your phone too — it's responsive.

02 · the decision to make in the meeting

Design directions, four of them

Graphic-novel primary (rendered in the mockup), graphic-novel accent, atelier / maker-craft, and theater program. One page each. None pre-selected; a fifth is fine if the four don't land.

03 · the part where you correct me

Project understanding brief

What I heard from you on the 17th, written back so you can flag anything off. Two clienteles, Wix pain points, pages list, what stays, what's later, what we decided about the graphic-novel framing after the recorder turned off.

04 · what we're building toward

Sitemap & information architecture

Six top-level pages with rationale. First-post scope vs. later. Where the wedding silhouette selector, inspiration upload, and backend integrations slot in when they arrive.

05 · how the domain moves

Domain transfer path

Wix → Porkbun (middle hop) → Cloudflare. Why not direct, the full sequence, the gotchas, the rollback path, timeline, and cost. Written to be readable without me in the room.

06 · short list back to you

Questions I need your read on

Blocking, shaping, and later — grouped by urgency. You don't need to answer before Friday; this is the agenda for the meeting.
