A new Dakota Gasification Company Web site was launched on the Internet Friday, May 22 by Basin Electric staff.
Julie Slag, staff writer/editor at Basin Electric, coordinated the project. The goal was to make the new site more user-friendly and enhance the overall site experience, especially for news media, tourists, customers, and anyone looking for safety information. “Gary Loop and his staff gave us some specific items they wanted, and we moved forward with creating more content and a graphic unity for the site,” Slag said.
Some new features on the site include:
new photo galleries
a history section
diagrams and explanations about gasification and coproduct processes
marketing and customer service information
carbon dioxide sequestration
clean energy
new visitor center information
driving directions
maps
weather
video feature stories including a video about carbon dioxide
and new social media ‘tools’ such as downloadable widgets and news releases, briefs and other information set up as RSS feeds.
The new site offers more promotional information, including the capability of publishing ‘breaking news’ headlines on the home page. “With help from our media staff, we also adopted some internal best practices relative to page layout and photo size and placement. It’s really made a difference in how the site looks and our work processes,” Slag said. “Information Services & Telecommunications (IS&T) staff introduced the new photo gallery software, and it’s a big improvement from the old style.”
