I can't really remember when did we first start to plan the website project with Ulla and Arto (a couple who owns Emalipuu), but it was years ago. About five or six I guess? But it was a good thing that we could stew the project long enough, because now when it's done, I can proudly say that this was the most interesting and intriquing project in this year (I bet there are none web commissions like this coming, at least this year). I have visited Ulla and Arto in their home in the countryside several times with Tiina Leino who has made the printed material (calling cards, brochures, packages...) We've enjoyed coffee and talk a lot of other stuff too.
This project has been some kind of therapy for me, even though these kind of forever-lasting projects can be a pain in the ***. This wasn't. That doesn't mean that I wasn't relieved when the site was finally published.
I usually don't write any content to my commission websites. Normally I may advise with the headlines and content in general but I won't write the stories and do the copy writer's job at all. This time I took the copy writer's job as well as Ulla and Arto gave me free hands to write in my way. The texts came out a bit sentimental but overall good.
