Notes
There's quite a lot of change on the prototype but only some things are approved so please take note of that https://xd.adobe.com/view/4012d6c8-5dda-4b2d-af30-52898c9781fc-1541/screen/1f1b67f3-c957-42ab-8312-95d2f106120e/  

We do not have a specific budget for this work but it fits into a bigger picture when it comes to website updates.

Hey Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn ,  
I added this note on notion but I think it be longs here as well. I have some parts that are almost complete, however its taking longer then expected due to things that need to be created from scratch as opposed to a site like MSI or DSI where all the components have already been made. For example the page header is something I can create quickly on MSI. On MSI the Content type and overrides have already been created and styled whereas on GEMS they don't exist and not something I can reuse.

Note on Notion:
Gems is taking longer then expected. Normally when we work on these sort of things a lot of the items are reusable. However in this instance they don't exist as I am updating the site. I am adding the new SCSS in there own files, creating Content types and Views. These are requiring overrides and new styles that would also need to be responsive. This may take longer but it will help up going forward

Hey David Mundell, Developer  at Matogen Digital David  no worries at all, we can talk about who is going to do what today but you trying to put the right structure in place for GEMS is the right way to move forward here - as you know its been on my mind and I mention the legacy issues frequently - its not fair on our clients to have badly put together sites so please do use the opportunity to improve that back end - it is okay if you are taking longer - we have more than enough GEMS budget - the consideration for me here is capacity so lets chat this morning - thanks so much

Hey Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn ,

Possibly 10 hours to finish this one. 

Hero banner: making it responsive to fit all views as best as possible. New content type created. we can use this for the views going forward like what we have on the other sites.

The images and text view is basically complete . It needs some margin and padding otherwise looks good and is responsive

Create new CTA. full width image and text bubble top left. I think I will need to create a new content type for this.

Gems Alum is just html I think I can use an empty block for this to save time and just re-use it

I need to create the 4 gems explore blocks. I think I am going to create block types to make this reusable going forward.

I might want to add sometime because I have not figured out the blocks yet
