Almost there

This week we finished writing almost all of the texts for our webpage, and delivered them to the skillful web designers of Milk+chocolate. The first draft our page will be ready in less than two weeks, which leaves us about a week to make final adjustments.
A while ago we had a meeting with our the course organizer and our professor. Titled "project clinic", we presented what have achieved so far and what is exactly is going to be our final product. The most important advice to us was that we need to be very focused on the core message of our webpage; not just to have a pretty page with some scattered texts.

Today's meeting @ Design Factory

We just finished our sum-up meeting at DeFa with good results: We'll be sending the texts and illustrations of our "Public For Phosphorus" website to the Milk+Chocolate people next monday & they can start working with the site. I'm sure that the result will be awesome :)

While the Milk+Chocolates are working with the website, we are spreading the word about our up-coming portal. To reach as many people as possible, we have to use several information channels such as Facebook, Twitter, magazines and radio just to mention some. TV advertising would be extremely effective, but unfortunately with our budget, a TV commercial is just an unrealistic dream.

So stay tuned, maybe you'll be hearing about our project on Wappuradio, or reading about it in Aino magazine!

Our web page

It has been a while since our last project update, so this is basically what we have been up to...After the mid-review our group has been mainly focused on gathering information and material for our “public for phosphorus” web page. During these weeks, we have had lots of help from our Kemira experts, who have provided us with useful information about phosphorus recovery from waste waters and the potential technologies that could be used (or are already used) for this purpose.

The goal of the web page is to raise public awareness about the importance of phosphorus and phosphorus recycling in Finland. Our target audience is all Finns from all ages and backgrounds, therefore the main language of the page will be Finnish. On Wednesday 4^th of April we met our web page designer, who had a great plan for the design of our web page. Here are the main decisions we made about our web page.

1.    an informative web page about phosphorus recycling

The web page will include basic information about phosphorus, phosphorus recycling technologies and the recycling situation in Finland and globally.

2.    a web page for all ages

We will try to create a web page that is reader friendly by adding pictures and graps and making the texts short, interesting and easy to understand.

3.    a web page that looks good and is easy to use

The page will be well structured and simple to use. In order to attract visitors, it is important that the web page looks good and professional. Our web page designers will help us with designing a web page that both look good and work perfectly.

Fake Fertilizers

Not all fertilizers used in agriculture are genuine. Production of fake fertilizers is big business. Fake fertilizers can be both ineffective and dangerous as they can contain many chemicals that are not suitable for agricultural applications.
