The website build is finished on the staging site. Nothing below is more development work — these are the answers and assets only you can provide, plus the final go-live steps. The sooner they land, the sooner we launch.
We cannot go live without these.
| Item | What we need from you | Priority | My recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone & WhatsApp number ✓ | Resolved — the real DR number +1 849 754 1676 is now live on the site, the WhatsApp float button, and the Contact page. | Done | No action needed. Confirm it reaches the right inbox/phone when you test. |
| Logo & brand fonts | Brand fonts received and embedded — Groovy Fruity + Hillda are now live on the site. Still need the final logo file (SVG or high-res PNG); you mentioned sending it by email. | Launch | Send the logo and I place it immediately. Fonts are handled, so once the logo lands the brand identity is complete. Until then the current look is launch-safe. |
| Payment gateways | Live Stripe (and PayPal) keys, plus one real test order. | Launch | Prioritise Stripe for cards. Add PayPal only if it is already set up. We run one real test transaction before launch so you know money actually lands. |
| International shipping | A yes or no: ship only within the DR, or abroad too? | Launch | Launch Dominican Republic only. It matches your pesos + Vimenpaq model. We add international later once you have real courier rates — that avoids accidentally under-charging for shipping. |
| Spanish version | Scope (full site vs key pages first) and the translated text. | Launch | Launch English + key Spanish pages (home, shop, product, quiz, checkout, contact); translate blog and directory afterwards. Send Spanish product titles and descriptions in a simple sheet and I import them. |
The site works without these, but these areas stay partial until you provide them.
| Item | What we need from you | Priority | My recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 missing quiz products | Create them, or give the real catalogue names: Oshun Love Potion & Massage Oil, Cosmic Mane spray/gel, Rose Bloom, Eau de la Reine, Sublime Oud, Nirvana & 11:11 roll-ons, Khemet Blue Lotus, Palo Santo, Tea Tree/Neem/Moringa oils, Herbal Defense, Fever Reducer, Earache, Buff Off, Antifungal Tincture. Confirm you stock Gasalia, Chestal, Allergy Calm. | Feature | Create the ones you actively sell first (aphrodisiacs, roll-ons, hair). Skip anything you do not stock — the quiz already hides missing items cleanly, so this never breaks, it only fills out. |
| Product-type filters “Shop by Product” ✓ | Fixed — the “Shop by Product” menu (Herbal Teas, Plant Powders, Liquid Extracts, Roll-Ons…) opened empty because products had never been tagged with a product type. I back-tagged 223 of 246 products from their names, so every filter now returns products and the menu only lists types that actually have stock. | Feature | Going forward, pick a “Form” when you add a product (Herbal Tea, Powder, Oil…) so it appears in these filters. 13 edge items (pure oils, e-books, a lotion, a suppository) are intentionally untagged — tell me a type if you want any made filterable. |
| Prices now show RD$ ✓ | Done, per your note — the confusing “MN” is replaced with RD$ everywhere: product cards, cart, checkout, the quiz, and the shipping bar (e.g. RD$720). The US$ toggle stays for international visitors. | Feature | No action — just confirm it reads right. If you would prefer DOP$ over RD$, say the word and I switch it. |
| Single herbs decision | Sell the individual single herbs, or made-products only? | Feature | Made-products only for launch. It keeps the catalogue and the quiz clean. Add single herbs later as a separate “Herbs & Botanicals” collection if customers ask for them. |
| Shop-by-Need sub-filters | All 8 collections are populated. I auto-tagged 33 of the 44 sub-filters from your quiz map. 11 remain empty: the four Calm & Sleep nodes (Sleep, Stress, Burnout, Emotional Balance — the quiz has no Calm category), Aphrodisiacs, Ceremony & Ritual, Lymphatic & Diuretic, and Ear/Eye Care, Bruises & Sprains, Yeast Infection (products not yet in the catalogue). | Feature | Tell me which products belong in the 11 remaining nodes (especially the four Calm & Sleep ones). The catalogue-gap nodes fill in automatically once the missing products in row 1 are created. |
| Work With Me copy | The final Custom Protocol / consultation copy you mentioned. | Feature | Send when ready — not urgent. The page already works with draft copy, so this is polish, not a launch blocker. |
Just a yes/no on each — I have made a sensible default call you can override.
| Item | The question | Priority | My recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shipping Policy page ✓ | New — I created a Shipping Policy page (linked in the footer) using your rates: RD$300 for Puerto Plata / Santiago / Santo Domingo / Las Terrenas / Samaná and RD$600 for the rest of the island, with Vimenpaq branch pickup and door-to-door, and a 2–3 day made-to-order handling time. | Confirm | Read it once and confirm the rates and wording are right. I can adjust any figure or fold in your exact courier terms. |
| WhatsApp chat message ✓ | Fixed — the pre-filled WhatsApp message now shows the English and Spanish lines on separate lines with a blank line between and a period at the end, exactly as you wrote it (it was cramped because a WordPress security filter was stripping the line breaks). | Confirm | Re-tap the WhatsApp button to confirm. It now opens the chat with the tidy two-line message pre-filled. |
| Delivery details field | Vimenpaq branch vs door-to-door is collected in the checkout order notes (no separate field), and free store pickup was removed. | Confirm | Keep the order-notes approach for launch. It is simplest and needs no extra development. We add a dedicated dropdown later only if your support team finds it fiddly. |
| Category web addresses | Category links still use French wording (categorie-produit/…) left over from the old plugin. | Confirm | Switch to English (product-category) now. Cleaner for an EN/ES site. When we migrate to the live site I add redirects from the old links so nothing breaks in Google. |
| Speaking topics | I added Brain Boost, Herbalism Essentials and “Make Your Own Herbal Remedies” to your five core topics. | Confirm | Keep them if you teach them. They fit your offering. Remove any you do not actually run and I will trim the list. |
| Wording change | I replaced “plant medicine” with “medicinal plants” / “herbal remedies” across headlines, per your note. | Confirm | Approve. It removes the entheogen/hallucinogen confusion you flagged while keeping the copy warm. |
| Testimonials | We use your real AZAYA quotes (Eric Edmeades, Ambika Devi, Jennifer Wootton). | Confirm | Confirm they are cleared to publish by name. If any are unsure, I can show them as “Retreat host, AZAYA” instead. |
| Detox Cure placement | Your brief said to feature the Detox Cure on the main shop page. | Confirm | Pin it as a highlighted card on the shop landing. Confirm and I place it front and centre. |
