V5 — Ash Revisions (Round 6) ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED BY V6 Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes (Ash #webcrew, Jun 22 — accordion sponsors + full FOB tiers)

  • Expandable accordion cards (EO + FOB): All sponsorship cards now collapsed by default (title / price / availability visible). Click/tap any card to expand downward and reveal the full deliverables list. Rows of 3. Each EO card has a large show photo on the right. Keyboard accessible (Enter/Space). Open card gets an amber border highlight. Ash Jun 22
  • Friends of BOAGS — 5 missing tiers added: Back page of PDF had 5 more tiers below Bear/Wolf/Bison. Now all 8 tiers listed: Bear ($10K) / Wolf ($7.5K) / Bison ($5K) / Moose ($2.5K) / Deer ($2K) / Fox ($1.5K) / Beaver ($1K) / Lake Trout ($500). Each with full deliverable list sourced from 2027 Sponsorship Guide. BOAGS 2027 Sponsorship Guide p.5-6
  • 10 Event Opportunity cards + 8 Friends of BOAGS cards = 18 total, all expandable.
V5 — Ash Revisions (Round 5) SUPERSEDED BY ROUND 6 Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes (Ash #webcrew, Jun 22 — design + sponsorship revisions)

  • #1 Hero lighter: Hero overlay opacity reduced significantly (L-R: 0.80→0.58 / 0.18→0.06; B-T: 0.72→0.50 / 0.08→0.03). Hero image is now much more visible — addresses Megan's "too dark" feedback. Ash Jun 22 / Megan direction
  • #2 Exhibitor Reel → light background: Vimeo section changed from dark (#161B22) to light (F5F6F7). Breaks up stacked darkness: hero→ticker→reel was three consecutive dark sections. Ash Jun 22
  • #3 Photo band — earns its place: Swapped dusk/industrial image for networking.jpg (people on the floor). Added attendee quote ("conversations that would take a month..."), social proof stats (3,800+ name badges / 74+ exhibitors / 2 full days) and location+date anchored alongside them. Section now has purpose: human credibility moment mid-page. Ash Jun 22
  • #4 Sponsorships — full deliverables added: Every tier now lists what the sponsor actually gets. EO cards: 10 opportunities each with 4–6 benefit bullets from 2027 guide. Friends of BOAGS: Bear (9 benefits), Wolf (9 benefits), Bison (7 benefits). All sourced directly from BOAGS 2027 Sponsorship Guide PDF. Ash Jun 22 / BOAGS 2027 Sponsorship Guide
  • #5 Friends of BOAGS moved below Event Opportunities: Section order flipped to match back-of-package order from the official guide: Event Opportunities first, Friends of BOAGS second. Ash Jun 22
  • #6 Sponsors section → light background: Section changed from dark charcoal to sec-mist (F5F6F7) to break up page darkness. Cards are white on light grey, amber accents preserved. Ash Jun 22
PM note (Ash → Megan): Hero is lighter. Still uses the existing aerial/industrial photo — Megan's new images when provided will load directly here and may further address the "too dark" direction.
V5 — Sheila Revisions (Round 4) SUPERSEDED BY ROUND 5 Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes (Sheila #webcrew, Jun 22 — all 5 show programs)

  • Past show programs: 3 → 5 editions: Added 2017 and 2015 programs to the popup card grid. All 5 editions now embedded as popup flipbooks (click to open in lightbox modal). Grid widened from max-width 840px to 1060px, minmax adjusted to 185px so all 5 cards fit on one row on wide screens. Sheila Jun 22 — embed URLs provided directly
  • Embed URLs embedded (all 5):
    • 2025 — boags_program_2025
    • 2023 — boags_program_2023_proof2
    • 2019 — boags_program_2019_proof3_1_
    • 2017 — boags_program_2017 NEW
    • 2015 — boags_program_2015 NEW
V5 — Sheila Revisions (Round 3) SUPERSEDED BY ROUND 4 Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes (Sheila #webcrew, Jun 22 — sponsors layout)

  • Sponsors section rebuilt — empty space fixed: Root cause: 2-column side-by-side layout had Friends of BOAGS (3 items) vs Event Opportunities (10 items) — left column had a massive empty gap below the 3 entries. New layout: Friends of BOAGS = 3 horizontal cards across the full width (Bear / Wolf / Bison each in their own card with icon, name, price, availability). Event Opportunities = compact 2-column list grid stacked below. No column mismatch, no empty space. Sheila Jun 22
V5 — Sheila Revisions (Round 2) SUPERSEDED BY ROUND 3 Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes (Sheila #webcrew, Jun 22)

  • #1 Hero spacing: Added 3.5rem top padding to hero-content so nav header no longer crowds the "Registration opens August 2026" badge. Sheila Jun 22
  • #2 Issuu popup embeds: Replaced inline iframe readers with click-to-open modal popup system. Click a program card → full flipbook opens in lightbox overlay. No redirect to Issuu.com. Sheila Jun 22 — matches live site behavior
  • #3a Exhibitors copy: "A sample of who is on the floor" → "74 confirmed exhibitors across 11 oilfield categories. Browse the full live directory to find the suppliers, contractors, and service companies that matter to your operation." Sheila Jun 22
  • #3b Category grid REMOVED: Cut the 11-category icon grid (the "red box" section). Recommendation: section duplicated info already in the directory and cluttered the home page. Directory handles category browsing. See recommendation note below. Sheila Jun 22 / Chase recommendation
  • #3c Logo tiles: Company name tiles converted to logo-ready containers. Currently show styled company names; swap in actual logo <img> files when supplied by the Chamber. Logo cells are sized max 120×44px, grayscale by default, colour on hover. Sheila Jun 22 — logos pending from Chamber Logos needed from Chamber/Megan
  • #4 Sponsors rebuilt from 2027 guide: Old Platinum/Gold/Silver/Community tiers (invented) replaced with actual 2027 guide structure: Friends of BOAGS (Bear $10K / Wolf $7.5K / Bison $5K) + 10 Event Opportunities (Registration SOLD, Opening Ceremonies, Lanyard, Volunteers, Bowling Social, Water Bottles, Exhibitor Lunch, Tote Bag, Door Prize, Lounge Grab-N-Go) with real pricing + availability. BOAGS 2027 Sponsorship Guide (Sheila attachment Jun 22)
Chase recommendation on #3d (cut vs keep category section): CUT from home page. The 11-category grid is useful for the directory/attend page but on home page it duplicates the marquee ticker (scrolling company names) and the directory CTA — three versions of the same content. Recommend keeping it on the Attend page or inside the directory. Flagged to AC for Megan/Sheila sign-off.
Pending: Company logos from Chamber. The logo tiles are built and ready. Send logo files (PNG/SVG transparent, min 240px wide) for: Acuren, CEDA, Herc Rentals, Kenworth Lloydminster, Ketek Group, Pevach Corp, Barnhart Crane & Rigging, Bravo Target Safety, Custom Vac Services, ARW Truck Equipment, Edmonton Valve & Fitting, Lakeland LICA, Clearflow Group, Predator Drilling, Roska DBO, Tarpon Energy Services.
V5 DARREL SIGN-OFF BASE Jun 22, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v5/

Changes from V4 (Darrel's second round — signed off Jun 22)

  • Stats moved into hero: The 4-stat band (74+ exhibitors, 11 categories, 2 days, Fast Lane) now lives inside the hero section, below the CTAs. Darrel request Jun 18
  • Orange registration callout: Dedicated orange-background section directly below the hero with "Registration opens August 2026" CTA. Visually distinct from the stats band. Darrel request Jun 18

Changes from V3 base (Darrel's first round — V4 edits, carried into V5)

  • Header + footer logo: Increased to 160px wide (was 38px height). Header nav height expanded from 68px to 84px to accommodate. Darrel request Jun 18
  • Hero overlay lighter: Gradient direction changed from bottom-to-top to left-to-right. Opacity reduced (80%→42% fade instead of 96%→55%). More breathing room. Darrel request Jun 18
  • Vimeo exhibitor reel: Full-bleed video embed (ID: 1005937337) in a dark section between About and the Info Trio. Sheila sourced — player.vimeo.com/video/1005937337 Stock/client-supplied video
  • Issuu past show guides: Grid of 3 embedded Issuu readers (2025, 2023, 2019 programs) in a light section, with direct open links. Sheila / bonnyvillechamber Issuu publisher Chamber-owned PDFs

Changes from original (Megan's comments — applied to V3 base, Jun 15)

  • Lighter overall theme: Site-wide contrast reduced so it reads less dark/heavy. Megan Jun 18
  • Bigger fonts throughout: Body copy, menu items, and nav links scaled up across all sections. Megan Jun 18
  • Footer logo larger + brighter: Logo opacity raised, size increased for visibility on dark footer. Megan Jun 18
  • Top-left logo visible: Nav logo made visible and properly sized. Megan Jun 18
  • Fast Lane = exhibitor-exclusive: Explicit "exhibitor exclusive" call-out added to the Fast Lane Connections section. Megan Jun 18
V3 — Native Rebuild BASE FOR V5 Jun 15, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v3/

Ash's locked merge spec: C3 hero + C5e content sections, amber-ink palette, run-of-show as white section, white logo. This is the Jan 15 signed base that V5 was built from. Full 3-page site (Home, Attend, Sponsors).

Decision at Jun 15: Rob/Ash locked direction on V3 as the approved base. Darrel then requested further revisions → became V4 → V5.
Earlier Concepts (A – F, C2/C3, D1-D4, C5a-C5e) Archived Jun 7 – Jun 9, 2026
🔗 Full concept index: boags-preview.pages.dev

16 concept variants (A, B, C, C2, C3, C5a-e, D1-D4, F). Rob voted D4 + C3; Darrel voted D4; Sheila voted D1/D2; C5e was front-runner until Rob locked V3 native rebuild. All archived and accessible above.

V12 — Final-review must-fixes (Rob GO) LATEST Jul 2, 2026
🔗 boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v12/

Facts & content fixes (final pre-delivery review, Jul 2)

  • Correct days of week: June 16, 2027 is a Wednesday and June 17 a Thursday — site said Friday/Saturday (copied from the old site, which has the same error). Fixed in both schedules; "both show days" phrasing used elsewhere. Calendar
  • Real exhibitor list (108 companies + booth numbers): The previous "confirmed from 2025" list was placeholder names. Replaced homepage tiles + the full exhibitors directory with the 108-company 2027 exhibitor list from the current live site, verbatim, each with its booth number, categorized and searchable. bonnyvilleoilandgasshow.com/exhibitors
  • Stats reconciled: "74+ exhibitors" → "100+" everywhere (stat strips, marquees, headings, meta) to match the real 108-company list. "1 Fast Lane Sessions" stat corrected to 4 (sessions A–D).
  • Our 2027 Sponsors strip added (index + sponsors pages): All 24 sponsor logos from the current live site — Town of Bonnyville + MD of Bonnyville (Registration tier, SOLD) first. Logo on the website is a paid deliverable in every tier. Old live site
  • Home hero swapped to real photography: AI-generated hero replaced with the real overhead show-floor crowd photo (oc-floor-wide, client's 2017 photography). Megan flagged the AI hero Jun 17.
  • Sponsorship guide hosted: "Download sponsorship guide" now serves the actual 2027 Sponsorship Guide PDF from this site (was linking to the old website's homepage).
  • Travel facts corrected: Cold Lake is ~35–40 min east of Bonnyville (was "20 minutes north/south"); Edmonton drive is ~2.5 hours (was 2); route simplified to "Hwy 28 northeast straight into Bonnyville"; "Hamilton House B&D" typo → B&B.
  • "Since 2015" softened to "For over a decade": Inaugural-year claim is unverified (5 instances, index + about). Confirm with Megan to restore a hard date.
  • Schedule marked "to be confirmed" + Bowling Social Night added: Run-of-show times not yet confirmed by Megan; both schedules now say so. Bowling Social (King Pins, sold as a $5K sponsorship) added to the Day-1 agenda as "details to come".
  • Footer © 2026 (was © 2027) on all 6 pages.
  • myconexsys.com links removed: They pointed at the registration vendor's corporate homepage, useless to attendees. "Registration opens August 2026" text kept; homepage directory note now links to our exhibitors page.
  • Past-program links fixed + 2015 re-added: All four Issuu program links used made-up document names and opened error pages inside the popup. Replaced with the real, verified documents from the old site, and the 2015 program (dropped since V5) is back — 5 programs total. Verified live Jul 2
  • Copy de-dupe pass (Ash's observation, completed): Removed the homepage registration callout band (same message as hero badge + notify section); rewrote the video-section intro (duplicated Who-Attends intro); cut a homepage sentence duplicated verbatim on About; trimmed repeated "free admission", "book early", and "registration opens August 2026" repeats on Attend/Travel/Exhibitors — strongest instance kept in each case.
  • Mobile fix: "Proudly Presented By" hero card now stacks above the hero text on phone widths instead of overlapping it.
  • Self-contained version: All images the pages use now live inside /boags-v12/ (previously pulled 14 image sets from the June-7 concept folder — would break the moment the site is lifted to CrewRM).
Still needs Megan: confirm final show dates/days + run-of-show times, confirm the exhibitor list is current 2027 (it is labeled "2027 Exhibitor List" on her current site), confirm the show's actual first year, sponsor logo files for the remaining tiers, and new photography.
V11 — R3 Deploy fix (Ash revision now live) SUPERSEDED BY V12 Jun 30, 2026
🔗 boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v11/

Fix (Jun 30 — Darrel QA flag in #webcrew thread 1782685674)

  • Hero "74+ confirmed exhibitors" paragraph removed (now live): Ash's revision to remove the .hero-sub paragraph above the hero CTA buttons was applied to the local file but never deployed to CF Pages. Darrel caught this during QA — the live URL still showed the paragraph. Redeployed Jun 30 22:30 UTC. Verified live: paragraph gone from rendered HTML (CSS class definition retained; meta description unaffected — not visible to users). Canonical URL: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v11/ Darrel QA Jun 30 / Ash revision (date pending)
V11 — Darrel Design Review R2 SUPERSEDED BY R3 DEPLOY Jun 28, 2026
🔗 boags-v11-darrel-r2.boags-preview.pages.dev

Changes (Darrel feedback, Jun 28 — R2 alignment + header + Fast Lane fixes)

  • Header breathing room: Nav height increased 84px → 120px. Logo padding added so the logo has proper vertical space — was cramped against the nav edges.
  • Who Attends + Exhibitor intro max-width removed: Intro paragraphs were pinched to a narrow left column with large whitespace on the right. Removed max-width constraint so text runs the full container width.
  • Fast Lane eyebrow visible: Eyebrow label text was invisible against the light background. Applied explicit colour so it renders correctly.
  • Fast Lane CTA solid amber: Confirmed solid amber fill + dark text on the "Reserve Your Exhibitor Spot" CTA. Was rendering outlined.
  • Section alignment fix (Attend page + homepage): Root cause: sections below hero had horizontal padding on the outer <section> element, while nav/hero had padding on the inner centered div. At viewports ≥ ~1440px this created a ~32px left-edge mismatch across sections. Fixed by moving padding:0 2rem from .sec-pad to .container (and fastlane-inner, footer-inner). All content — nav, hero, every body section — now locks to the same left edge.
  • Mobile nav offset updated: Mobile menu top offset + hero padding-top updated to 120px to match new nav height on both index.html and attend.html.
V11 — Darrel Design Review R1 SUPERSEDED BY R2 Jun 28, 2026
🔗 boags-v11-darrel-r1.boags-preview.pages.dev

Changes (Darrel feedback, Jun 28 — R1 homepage adjustments)

  • Nav CTA hover colour: Added hover rule for the "Get on the list" nav CTA so it doesn't go white on hover.
  • Registration callout button: Set to solid amber fill with dark text for consistency with primary CTA style.
  • Info Trio heading: Clamped font-size so the 3-word heading wraps gracefully at mid viewports instead of overflowing.
  • Fast Lane eyebrow + CTA: Eyebrow colour fix (invisible on light bg); CTA confirmed solid amber.
  • Notify 2-column layout: Fixed inline style specificity issue blocking media query — grid goes 2-col at 900px+ as intended.
  • Darrel's primary brand SVG logos: Production SVG files from Darrel's Drive folder folded into nav and footer across all pages.
V10 — Rob: Multi-page site + Chamber hero prominence SUPERSEDED BY V11 Jun 28, 2026
🔗 boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v10/

Changes (Rob, Jun 28 — sub-pages + Chamber endorsement)

  • attend.html built: Standalone Attend page at /boags-v10/attend.html. Sections: Who Attends, Run of Show (full agenda), Fast Lane Connections, Photo Band, Notify. Interior dark hero using showfloor-wide.jpg at 52svh. Nav active state on "Attend".
  • sponsors.html built: Standalone Sponsors page at /boags-v10/sponsors.html. Sections: full accordion sponsor cards (10 Event Opportunity + 8 Friends of BOAGS), Notify. Interior dark hero. Nav active state on "Sponsors".
  • All nav links now resolve: Previously attend.html and sponsors.html were 404. All three nav links work.
  • Hero 2-column split: Desktop hero split into left (date badge, date lockup, H1, CTA) and right (Chamber endorsement block: "Presented by / Bonnyville & District Chamber of Commerce" in a frosted-glass card). Stacks on mobile (<900px). "Proudly presented" banner below hero kept as-is. Chamber logo pending — text placeholder now
  • Logo stopgap (V9→V10): Concept #1 logo extracted from PDF (pdftocairo+PIL, 300dpi), light variant (white/transparent) in nav + footer. Pending Rob's final production asset.
Flag: Chamber logo file not found in project assets. Text placeholder in hero right panel. Rob to provide .png or .svg from client.
V9 — Sheila: Dark stat strip + 74+ de-dupe complete ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED BY V10 Jun 26, 2026
🔗 boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v9/

Changes (Sheila feedback Jun 26)

  • Dark stat strip rebuilt: Near-black (#0E1116) full-width band, flex-nowrap, 4 columns, big orange Oswald numbers, white uppercase labels (CONFIRMED EXHIBITORS / INDUSTRY CATEGORIES / FULL DAYS ON THE FLOOR / EXHIBITOR NETWORKING). No wrapping.
  • 74+ cut to one instance: Removed from h2 exhibitors heading, info-card-body, CTA button, and photo-band stat row. Only one visible 74+ on page — the dark stat strip count-up. Verified with script-stripped body parse.
  • Hero prose removed: "74+ exhibitors. 2 full days. Every category of oilfield services on one floor." removed from hero.
  • Video reverted to 900px: Full-width change from V8 reverted per Sheila. max-width:900px restored.
V8 — Sheila: Stat De-dupe + Video Width ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED BY V9 Jun 26, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v8/

Source: Sheila feedback on V7. Sheila: "that's a lot better. 74+ exhibitors. 2 full days. is mentioned one too many times."

  • 1. "74+ exhibitors. 2 full days." de-duplicated: The combined stat appeared in both the hero value line AND the video section subtitle ("Two days. 74+ exhibitors. The energy sector..."). Kept the hero instance (most prominent, first impression). Reworded the video subtitle to "The Lakeland's energy sector, all under one roof. Watch what you're stepping into." — removes the repetition, keeps the sentiment. Sheila V7 feedback — "'74+ exhibitors. 2 full days.' is mentioned one too many times on this page."
  • 2. Vimeo video embed expanded to full container width: Video wrapper had an explicit max-width:900px which made the embed look like a narrow box on wide screens. Removed the 900px cap — video now fills the full 1400px container, giving the reel more visual presence. (Sheila initially floated "make this full width" before walking it back; actioned per Rob's direct instruction. Revertible if not wanted.)
All V7 wins preserved: 18px body base, enlarged fonts, simplified hero, navy palette, orange-as-accent, Proudly Presented, Fast Lane exhibitors-only, logo placeholder.
FLAG — Logo files still pending: Concept-1 PNG/SVG not yet on server. Placeholder stays until received.
V7 — Sheila/Megan Feedback: Bigger Fonts + Hero Simplification ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED BY V8 Jun 26, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v7/

Source: Sheila/Megan feedback on V6 (relayed via AC). Requesters: Megan Wakefield + Sheila (Bonnyville Chamber).

  • 1. Body font size increased to 18px base (significant jump from V6): Added explicit font-size: 18px to body. V6 had no base body size set. Every rem-based size now anchors to 18px. Megan had flagged small text twice; this addresses the core readability complaint for an older demographic. Megan Jun-26 (relayed via Sheila) — "Our target audience is an older demographic. You have to make it easy to read."
  • 2. All content text classes significantly enlarged: Body text (.body-text) up to 1.25rem; section intros (.sec-intro) up to 1.3125rem; attend-body to 1.125rem; attend-title to 1.3125rem; fastlane-body to 1.25rem; fl-card-head to 1.1875rem; fl-card-body to 1.0625rem; agenda-event-name to 1.1875rem; agenda-event-note to 1.0625rem; agenda-time to 1.1875rem; footer links/p to 1.0625rem; footer tagline to 1.125rem; pullquote-q to clamp(2rem,4.5vw,3.25rem); photo-band-sub to 1.1875rem; sponsor card names, benefits lists, and section sub-copy all enlarged proportionally. Nav links to 1.125rem. Notify input/button to 1.0625rem. All label stats in photo-band to 1rem. AC V7 brief — "Go FURTHER than v6 — bump font sizes across the board, ESPECIALLY body/content. Aim for a large, comfortable older-audience read. Don't be timid — they've now flagged small text twice."
  • 3. Section headings (.sh, .sh-xl) scaled proportionally: .sh increased from clamp(2.5rem,5vw,3.75rem) to clamp(2.75rem,5.5vw,4.25rem). .sh-xl from clamp(3rem,7vw,5.25rem) to clamp(3.25rem,7.5vw,5.75rem). Hero headline (.hero-h1) from clamp(2.25rem,5vw,3.75rem) to clamp(2.5rem,5.5vw,4.25rem).
  • 4. Hero SIMPLIFIED — trimmed to essentials only: Sheila's exact words: "it looks like you're trying to squeeze in too much." V7 hero now contains ONLY: registration-opens badge, date lockup (16–17 / June 2027 / Bonnyville), headline, one short value line, and ONE primary CTA ("Get on the list"). REMOVED: ghost "View exhibitors" CTA; entire hero-stats-row (4 stats). Result is a clean, uncrowded hero with real room to breathe. Sheila feedback (relayed via AC) — "it looks like you're trying to squeeze in too much."
  • 5. Hero spacing increased: Hero content padding expanded from 3.5rem/5rem to 5rem/8rem top/bottom. Hero-h1 margin-bottom 0.875rem → 1.5rem. Hero-sub margin-bottom 2.5rem → 3rem, line-height 1.7 → 1.80. Hero-badge margin-bottom 2rem → 2.5rem. Hero-date-lockup margin-bottom 1.25rem → 2rem. Hero sub-text colour improved from 68% to 80% opacity. Hero-h1 line-height 1.06 → 1.10.
  • 6. All good from V6 preserved: Navy palette (#1B3A5C everywhere dark), orange-as-accent-only, "Proudly presented" banner, Fast Lane exhibitors-only copy, logo placeholder, all section colours unchanged.
Image sources: All images unchanged from V5/V6 — no new images added.
FLAG — Logo files still needed: Concept #1 (oil-drop "O" + gear) light + dark variants still pending from Rob. Placeholder correctly sized at 190×64 in both nav and footer.
V6 — Megan Jun-26 Meeting: Palette + Typography + Copy Overhaul ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED BY V7 Jun 26, 2026
🔗 Live preview: boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v6/

Source: Megan <> Rob meeting Jun 26, 2026 (32.8 min). Requester: Megan Wakefield (Bonnyville Chamber).

  • 1. Palette → Lakeland navy-blues (less black, less orange): Site-wide background shifted from near-black (#0E1116) to light blue-grey (#F5F8FC). All formerly-dark sections (nav, marquee ticker, "Who Attends," "Notify/Pass Drop," footer) replaced with Lakeland navy (#1B3A5C). Orange remains as accent only — CTAs, rules, and highlights — not used as a background color. Registration callout below hero changed from solid-orange to navy-with-orange-left-border. Megan Jun-26 meeting — "I like how the old website incorporated a bit more of different colours"
  • 2. Bigger, bolder fonts site-wide: All font-size clamp values increased ~20–25% across the board. Section headings, body text, nav links, buttons, agenda items, footer links, Fast Lane section, photo band tagline, pullquote — all enlarged for older-demographic readability. Body text baseline increased from 1.0625rem to 1.1875rem. Megan Jun-26 — "Everything was tiny. Everything was tiny." / "Our target audience is an older demographic. You have to make it easy to read."
  • 3. Fixed black-on-black / dark-on-dark: "Who Attends" section changed from dark charcoal (#161B22) to sky-blue (#EBF4FF) with white attend-cards and navy headings — no more dark text on dark background. "Notify" section changed from dark panel to navy — white text on navy is properly readable. Agenda cards changed from dark (#1A1F27) to white with navy borders. Exhibitor logo tiles changed from dark to white. Sponsor slots changed from dark to light (#F0F4F8). Megan Jun-26 — "I don't love black on black there — that's way too dark, that whole section. Something needs to change. It should be colour or go back to white."
  • 4. Image-with-text-overlay contrast improved: Photo band overlay gradient changed from near-black (rgba 14,17,22) to deep navy (rgba 18,43,71) at matching opacity — content stays readable without the Halloween darkness. Hero overlay similarly shifted to navy tones. Megan Jun-26 — "I still feel this page — I'm not loving the image with the text on the back of it either. It's so hard to read."
  • 5. Footer + bottom banner lightened — logo visible: Footer background changed from near-black (#0E1116) to Lakeland navy (#1B3A5C) with amber top border retained. Footer text opacity increased so links and tagline read clearly. Logo opacity set to 1.0 (was 0.80). Megan Jun-26 — "The bottom of the website in general is dark — you can't see our logo... Change the colour to white or something brighter."
  • 6. Logo placeholders — CONCEPT #1 pending: Nav header and footer logo positions replaced with clearly-sized placeholder blocks labelled "CONCEPT #1 / LOGO — PENDING". This is where Concept #1 (oil-drop-as-"O" + gear, selected by Megan Jun-26) will drop in as a light variant (nav/white-on-navy) and dark variant (footer/white-on-navy). Rob is packaging the files. FLAG TO AC: logo files needed. Megan Jun-26 — logo #1 selected. Rob to package + send.
  • 7. "Proudly presented by the Bonnyville Chamber" — prominent on homepage: Added a dedicated white banner section between the registration callout and the exhibitor ticker: "Proudly presented by the Bonnyville & District Chamber of Commerce" with Chamber name in amber. Visible and prominent on first scroll. Megan Jun-26 — "Looking at my old website, it shows it's proudly presented by us at the Chamber. Nothing on this new website says 'proudly presented by the Bonnyville Chamber.'"
  • 8. Fast Lane Connections → exhibitors-only / exclusive language: Fast Lane section reworded throughout: eyebrow changed to "For registered exhibitors"; body copy now says it's "an exclusive perk reserved for registered exhibitors — not open to general attendees"; pills changed to show "Exhibitors Only" and removed "Free to attend"; the third fl-card ("Always free to attend") replaced with "Exclusive to exhibitors" copy. Agenda items updated to "exhibitors only — not open to general attendees" with "Exhibitors only" tag chips. Hero stat changed from "Free / Fast Lane Connections" to "Exclusive / Exhibitor networking". Megan Jun-26 — "I just want to reiterate this is exhibitors only. I don't want anyone thinking anyone in the community can just come. Only exhibitors can go in that room. So just talk more about that exclusivity part."

FLAG — Logo files needed: Concept #1 (oil-drop "O" + gear) light + dark variants are NOT yet in /home/crewrm/boags-serve. Rob is packaging them. Once delivered, drop in: nav uses light variant (white-on-navy), footer uses same light variant. No other changes needed — placeholder is correctly sized (190×64).
Pending for V6 completion:
Next step: Megan + Sheila review V7 live preview (boags-preview.pages.dev/boags-v7/). Megan deadline: Tuesday Jun 30, 2026 morning. Logo Concept #1 files still pending from Rob. When Megan approves a version → load into CrewRM V3 web builder (BOAGS account, SUB_46).
