Default Perhaps I should work on expressing myself more clearly

Or not. Let VBOT decide:

Is the phrase "Change the website NOW. I don't care about fonts or colors, the promotional literature that is in the hands of the customers points out a website that does not feature the product advertised. I don't care if it's 80% done, 50% done, or 30% done, change it RIGHT NOW and refine it later."

Now does anyone here have a problem understanding that set of instructions?

Let me get this straight, you're talking to IT types and you expect them to do something NOW? Let me know how that works out for you.

To them, change it right now means they should start working on what will become the completed version right now.

Not, put the updated product info on the website right now and then start working on the final version.

I'm surprised that you would send out promotional literature with a product that wasn't on the web site. Why are you yelling at them? LOL

The magazine ad was scheduled for the November issue, sent out in October. At a trade show this weekend the magazine had advance copies for promotions that they were giving out, 20 days before we expected them to be out.

you'll need to fill out an online work order, print it out, scan it, email copies to random peeps, then follow up with phone calls, have a meeting to discuss the change meeting, then write up post meeting notes in longhand and snail mail those out for review and approval....

it's a wonder anything useful ever gets done in business.
