Welcome, Janine! I’m Claude.
Bring me anything—a tough problem, a half-formed idea, something you need to write. We’ll figure it out together.
Where do you want to start?

Claude responded: Now I have everything I need.
Now I have everything I need. Let me build the website using the brand colors, logos, and content from the uploaded files.
Here's the Veridian Advisory website, built faithfully from all your uploaded materials. Here's what's included:
Design — Uses the exact brand palette from your logo sheet (#0E6B4F forest green, #2FA86E emerald, #1C232B charcoal, #C9A45A gold), paired with Cormorant Garamond for headings (refined and authoritative) and DM Sans for body text.
Sections:
- Hero — Headline with animated stat card cluster showing your key metrics (20+ years, £106M, R15.9B, 245M+)
- About — Vision, mission and approach drawn from your company profile, with UK/Europe/South Africa geo tags
- Services — All four core service areas; Governance & Board Advisory featured prominently as a wide card
- SMB Advisory — Full three-column layout (Why / What / How) pulled from your one-pager, plus the five value cards
- Impact Stats — Your five headline numbers in a dark green band
- CTA — Growth Clarity Session call-to-action
- Footer — Clean with tagline and region indicators
Interactions — Smooth scroll nav, fade-up animations on scroll, floating stat cards with gentle animation, and hover effects throughout.

Also update the CTA button to use the correct email:
Done — info@veridianadvisory.net now appears as a clickable mailto link in a dedicated Contact column in the footer, alongside the regions. The CTA "Book a Clarity Session" button has also been updated to use the same address.

Claude responded: No MCP connector available, so I'll embed Calendly's standard inline widget directly — it works without any backend and just needs a Calendly URL.
No MCP connector available, so I'll embed Calendly's standard inline widget directly — it works without any backend and just needs a Calendly URL. I'll add it under the CTA button with a placeholder URL that's easy to swap out.
Done! The Calendly inline booking widget now appears directly below the "Book a Clarity Session" button, styled to match the brand (green accent colour, rounded corners, subtle shadow). Clicking the button smoothly scrolls down to it.
One thing you'll need to do: Replace the Calendly URL in the embed with your actual link. Find this line in the file:
data-url="https://calendly.com/veridianadvisory/growth-clarity-session?..."And swap in your real Calendly URL — it'll look something like https://calendly.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-EVENT. The primary_color=0e6b4f parameter at the end will tint Calendly's UI to match Veridian's forest green automatically.
You said: here's the active link https://calendly.
here's the active link https://calendly.com/app/scheduling/meeting_types/user/me
Claude responded: Updated!
Updated! The Calendly widget is now pointing to your live link.
One note — the URL you shared (/app/scheduling/meeting_types/user/me) is the admin/management view of your Calendly account. For the public-facing embed you'll want to use your shareable booking page URL, which typically looks like https://calendly.com/your-name or https://calendly.com/your-name/event-name. You can find it in Calendly under Share Your Link. Just let me know and I'll swap it in!

Claude responded: I can see two problems:
I can see two problems:
- Wrong URL —
/app/scheduling/meeting_types/user/meis your Calendly admin dashboard, not a public booking page. The widget needs a public booking URL. - Script placement — the
<script>tag is inside the embed div, which can cause timing issues. I'll move it to the<head>and use the proper CalendlyinitInlineWidgetapproach as a fallback.
Let me fix both:
Fixed. Here's what I changed and why it wasn't working:
Root cause: The URL you shared (/app/scheduling/meeting_types/user/me) is your Calendly admin dashboard — it requires you to be logged in and isn't embeddable publicly. Calendly blocks it from loading inside iframes.
What's fixed:
- Proper script loading — Calendly's JS is now loaded dynamically and
initInlineWidget()is called only after it's ready, preventing timing failures - Correct embed method — Uses
Calendly.initInlineWidget()with a dedicated container div, which is the most reliable approach
What you still need to do — find your public booking URL in Calendly:
- Log into Calendly → click Share on any event type
- Your public link looks like
https://calendly.com/your-nameorhttps://calendly.com/your-name/30min - Share it here and I'll drop it straight into the file
You said: Calendly is open but the specific page can not be found
Calendly is open but the specific page can not be found
Claude responded: That's because the URL https://calendly.
That's because the URL https://calendly.com/veridianadvisory is a placeholder I used — it doesn't exist yet. You need to find your actual public Calendly link.
Here's how to get it in 30 seconds:
- Go to calendly.com and log in
- Click on any event type you've created (e.g. "30 Minute Meeting")
- Click Share or Copy Link
- It'll look like:
https://calendly.com/your-actual-username/event-name
Paste that link here and I'll update the website immediately.
Alternatively, if you haven't set up a Calendly event yet, you'll need to create one first — it only takes a couple of minutes at calendly.com/event_types/new.
You said: https://calendly.
Claude responded: Done!
Done! The Calendly widget is now pointing to https://calendly.com/janine-veridianadvisory/30min. The booking calendar should load correctly in the website now. Let me know if you'd like any other changes!
You said: perfect thanks.
perfect thanks. how do I copy and paste this into WIX
Claude responded: Great question!
Great question! Wix supports embedding custom HTML/code. Here's the easiest way:
Option 1: Embed as a Full Page (Recommended)
Since the website is a complete single-page site, the best approach is to host the HTML file and embed it, or use Wix's custom code feature:
- Go to your Wix Editor
- Click Add (+) → Embed & Social → Embed a Widget (or "Custom Embeds" → "Embed HTML")
- Paste the entire HTML code into the box
- Resize the element to fill the full page
⚠️ The limitation here is Wix's HTML embed has a size restriction and may not render a full multi-section page well.
Option 2: Use Wix as a Shell, Embed Sections Individually
Build your Wix page normally and add individual Calendly, text, and image blocks using Wix's native tools, using the content from your file.
Option 3: Host the HTML Externally (Best Result)
For a pixel-perfect result, host the file on:
- Netlify (free) — drag and drop your
.htmlfile at netlify.com/drop and it's live in seconds with a real URL - GitHub Pages (free)
- Vercel (free)
Then in Wix, link your navigation to that URL or embed it as an iframe.
My recommendation: Use Netlify Drop — it takes 30 seconds, gives you a live URL, and the site will look exactly as designed. Would you like help with any of these options?

The Honest Truth About Wix
Wix isn't designed to accept externally built HTML sites directly — it's a drag-and-drop builder with its own structure. You have two realistic paths:
Path 1: Netlify (30 seconds) → Link from Wix Best if you want the site to look exactly as designed.
- Go to netlify.com/drop
- Drag and drop your
veridian_advisory.htmlfile - Netlify gives you a live URL instantly (e.g.
veridian-advisory.netlify.app) - You can then either:
- Use that as your main site and skip Wix entirely, OR
- Point your Wix domain to it via DNS settings
Path 2: Rebuild in Wix using your file as a blueprint
- Open Wix Editor → start a blank template
- Use your HTML file as a design reference
- Recreate each section using Wix's native blocks
- For the Calendly widget: Add (+) → Embed → paste
https://calendly.com/janine-veridianadvisory/30min
My honest recommendation:
Since you already have a beautifully built, fully working HTML site — Netlify is the better choice. It's free, instant, and your site will look and work perfectly. Wix would require rebuilding everything from scratch and has limitations with custom code.
Would you like me to help you set up on Netlify, or would you prefer to stick with Wix?
You said: Netlify please
Netlify please
Claude responded: Perfect choice!
Perfect choice! Here's how to publish in under 2 minutes:
Step 1: Download your file
- Click the file link above and save it as
veridian_advisory.htmlto your computer
Step 2: Go to Netlify Drop
- Open netlify.com/drop in your browser
- You don't need to create an account to start (you can claim the site after)
Step 3: Drag & Drop
- Drag your
veridian_advisory.htmlfile into the Netlify Drop zone - ⚠️ Important: Netlify needs the file inside a folder. So first:
- Create a new folder on your desktop called
veridian-site - Put your
veridian_advisory.htmlfile inside it - Rename the file to
index.html(this tells Netlify it's the homepage) - Drag the entire folder onto the Netlify Drop page
- Create a new folder on your desktop called
Step 4: Your site is live!
- Netlify gives you a random URL like
https://amazing-curie-abc123.netlify.app - Click "Claim your site" and create a free account to:
- Rename it to something like
veridianadvisory.netlify.app - Connect your own custom domain (e.g.
veridianadvisory.net)
- Rename it to something like
Step 5: Connect your custom domain (optional)
- In Netlify dashboard → Domain Settings → Add custom domain
- Type in your domain (e.g.
veridianadvisory.net) - Update your domain's DNS nameservers to point to Netlify — your domain registrar will have instructions for this
Let me know when it's live and if you hit any snags along the way! 🚀
