We are getting a revamped website and looking for someone to work with me to redesign the template. I&amp;#39;ve asked Kirk (WordFly) but it sounds like WordFly doesn&amp;#39;t offer Design services anymore (boo), and the agency designing the website (substrakt) don&amp;#39;t have anyone either. Any help / pointers appreciated!

I create a Tessitura record for them and then mark all their Contact Permissions to opt-out. We use TRG to handle our mailing lists, and I will make a manual suppression entry. I prefer to add them in Tessitura so I can add them to a suppression list and even if we trade with another org, I can at least guarantee they will be suppressed from any borrowed lists.

How do your orgs handle that kind of opt out? Do you create a new constituent record for the person and make sure their Contact Permissions/ Contact Point Purposes are correctly set to receive no mail/email? Or do you have a different system for keeping track of rentals that don&amp;#39;t want to be contacted again?
