Hi Everyone!

We are now a bit more than a year in and wanted to update:

We are still looking to use the large part (roughly 900 USD) of the grant left, however as mentioned before it seems too little to get a UX designer to create a visually and in other ways user-compelling website for us. While still looking for someone experienced in UX to upgrade the site fully without the risk of having parts of it badly made just because we run out of funds for a more symbolic sum (our remainder 900 USD), we have been looking for the next most cost-effective way to push for spreading EA in to more "norm" circles. We have experimented with created merchandise in the shapes of stickers and brochures for 20 USD for participants to take with oneself at the event, which might have gotten positive results in the sense that traffic to our website has increased while our activities such as posting and updates on our websites has remained the same, which we would guess could be a positive result from this experiment. We are discussing the possibility of creating more cost effective merchsandise.

Hi Everyone!

We are now a bit more than six months in and wanted to update:

We managed to get a very pro-EA person to update the texts (copy) on our website to increase SEO for us for the symbolic sum of roughly 100 USD in Swedish currency. This leaves us with still having the large part of the grant left, however it seems too little to get a UX designer to create a visually and in other ways user compelling website for us. We are still looking for someone experienced in UX to upgrade the site fully without the risk of having parts of it badly made just because we run out of funds, so so far we haven't used the large part of the funding, but we are still on the lookout.

Many times thank you @lchamberlain!

Many times thank you @Jason, this will likely help us push the message greatly and increase our number of event particpants many times in a much shorter time than now projected. Let me know if you would like updates about how the project is going!

@Jason You are most welcome and yes Google Translate doesn't usually capture the quality of a text :/ Thank you for your contribution to this project!

Great question.

As we try to reach a mainstream audience and perhaps especially people middle class, middle age with average income, we are fighting with many others to get the attention of this very large group: we need to stand out. What I have been adviced is that in order to do so the marketing and all communication needs to be great and not the least the website which plays a central role in legitimacy at least for a Swedish audience. This is the reason why getting expert help on this has been the big priority for us now.
