Mirkka Torikka

A personal and particularly impactful blog site where topics are discussed directly and honestly.

Site in Finnish.

The site is built very simply, leveraging WordPress’s original concept as a blogging platform. The main focus is on articles written by Mirkka, which are categorized under four different headings. I was given a lot of creative freedom in the design, and I also created the site’s logo. We met with Mirkka for an initial meeting, and by our next meeting, I had a nearly complete draft ready. After a few final tweaks, the blog was ready to welcome visitors.

This site has become one of the most visited among the sites I’ve created, presenting new challenges in selecting a web hosting service. With Zoner’s assistance, the package size was increased several times as the site threatened to crash due to insufficient bandwidth. Mirkka’s articles, which track the progress of a mold house lawsuit and the related discussions, have consistently attracted a large number of readers. The commitment of her followers is evident, as when Mirkka was ordered to pay compensation in court, her followers raised a significant amount through small fundraising efforts.

Thanks to the blog, Mirkka secured a publishing contract, and her debut book, “Rakas katastrofini” (My Dear Catastrophe), was published in spring 2023.

I am extremely satisfied with the blog site Annika created, which has stood the test of time with its elegance and functionality, handling large amounts of traffic without issues. Sivutaikuri’s commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Annika patiently and incredibly quickly answers even the simplest questions. The site was created effortlessly based on my wishes, with a turnkey approach. Everything was implemented according to my ideas, and what I hadn’t thought of was already considered for me.

Sivutaikuri’s uncompromising approach to projects is a rare luxury. However, calling it a project is misleading, as the care doesn’t end with the launch of the site. Sivutaikuri continues to oversee the usability and takes responsibility for necessary updates even after the site is completed. As the creator of the site, Annika also takes responsibility for the content. If you need a visual perspective, a flexible work approach, and a patient and reliable partner, I highly recommend Sivutaikuri.
