# Cordwainer Contact & Careers Page Redesign

Decisions and action items from the November 2025 website strategy review covering the redesign of the Contact and Careers pages. Part of the broader [[wiki/clients/cordwainer/_index|Cordwainer]] website refresh initiative.

## Contact Page

### Problem

The current Contact page is an embedded [[Further]] form that does not match the Cordwainer site's visual branding. The off-brand embed creates a disjointed user experience at a critical conversion point.

An additional issue surfaced during the meeting: a test inquiry submitted through the Further form did not trigger a confirmation email to the submitter. This is unresolved and needs to be investigated with Further directly.

### Decisions

- **Redesign the page** to be fully on-brand while retaining the lead-routing functionality that Further provides.
- The form itself (and its routing logic) should be preserved — the goal is a visual and UX overhaul, not a replacement of the underlying system.
- Form fills are the **preferred lead capture method** over phone calls; the redesign should reinforce this.

### Action Items

| Owner | Action |
|---|---|
| Melissa's team | Propose a redesigned Contact page that matches site branding while keeping Further routing intact |
| Bodo / Maria | Contact Further to investigate why the test inquiry did not send a confirmation email |

## Careers Page

### Problem

The current Careers page is impersonal and lacks the information needed to attract quality candidates. It also surfaces a "Volunteer" sub-item in the navigation that is no longer relevant to the page's purpose.

### Decisions

**Navigation:**
- Remove the "Volunteer" sub-item from the Careers navigation dropdown.

**Benefits section:**
- Update the listed employee benefits to include:
  - Life insurance
  - Employee meals

**Job descriptions:**
- Add standing (evergreen) job descriptions for common roles — e.g., Nurses, CNAs — so the page actively attracts talent even when no specific opening is posted.

### Action Items

| Owner | Action |
|---|---|
| Melissa's team | Update the Careers page with revised benefits list and standing job descriptions |
| Melissa's team | Remove the "Volunteer" sub-item from the navigation |
