Redesign · Team Overview
Updated Thursday, August 6, 2026 · 3:17 PM CDT
A team-facing snapshot of the website redesign: what's already done, what content we still need, and who owns what by when. Every page now has the new look — full-width hero photos, green accents, and our real logo — and you can preview the whole thing below. The new site is built and waiting; the live site is untouched until launch day.

How the switch-over works, in plain terms.
Rather than change pages one at a time, the entire redesign goes live in a single switch. That keeps the experience consistent — visitors never see a half-old, half-new site — and it means the current site stays exactly as it is until launch day. The trade-off: every page's new content needs to be ready before we flip the switch. That's what the list below is for.
The pages are built — these are the real details only the team can provide.
Working backward from a Sep 1 launch. Owners are a starting point — reassign as needed.
