Cordwainer Website Launch — February 2026
Overview
The Cordwainer Memory Care website launched on Thursday, February 12, 2026, following a final staging review on February 11. All feedback from the previous meeting had been implemented prior to launch. The Careers page was intentionally deferred to avoid delaying the main go-live.
This article covers the launch timeline, staging review process, and the post-launch plan for populating the Careers page with job listings.

Staging Review Process
Before go-live, the following review steps were agreed upon:
- Asymmetric conducted an internal page-by-page review, verifying buttons, links, and page rendering.
- Cordwainer team was asked to independently click through the staging site on Feb 11 to flag any final change requests.
- Any last-minute changes identified during the Feb 11 review would be addressed before the Thursday push.
"I would like to have the whole team take tomorrow at some point to just click around the staging site and kind of just double check there's no last changes we want, because that'll be kind of our final view."
— Sebastian Gant
Careers Page — Post-Launch Plan
The Careers page was intentionally launched without job listings to avoid blocking the main site go-live. The following process was agreed to populate it afterward:
- Bodo emails Amanda (HR) asking her to send a list of open positions to Sebastian.
- Amanda provides job listings in whatever format she normally uses.
- Sebastian reviews the format with Amanda and confirms what data is needed per listing.
- Asymmetric builds out the listings on the Careers page.
Notes
- All job types (not just managerial roles) can be listed on the site.
- Application form fills on the Careers page are routed to Amanda's email.
- Sebastian already had an existing contact relationship with Amanda from a prior handbook update project, so no new introduction was needed beyond the Careers-specific email from Bodo.
Key Decisions
- Launch date set to Feb 12 — team aligned on Thursday go-live with no blockers remaining after the staging review.
- Careers page deferred — explicitly chosen to prevent the missing job listings from delaying the broader launch.
- Biweekly cadence post-launch — after a one-week check-in on Feb 17, marketing meetings shift to every two weeks.
