  • Better access to research and study offerings

Users find relevant information more quickly.

  • More efficient publishing and administration

Editors spend less time on technical work and more time on content.

  • Strengthened digital credibility

A more coherent and professional digital experience.

  • A robust platform for further development

The solution is built to handle complexity and growth over time.

The digital solution went from being difficult to navigate — to becoming a tool that supports both knowledge sharing and efficient operations.

From a complex structure to a user experience that supports both research and communication.

The University of Bergen (UiB) is one of Norway's leading knowledge institutions. With thousands of staff, students and research projects, high demands are placed on digital structure, accessibility and usability.

The need was clear: make it easier to find, publish and share knowledge — both internally and externally.

The goal was not merely to improve the design. The goal was to strengthen communication, efficiency and digital quality.

We started with insight: how do students, staff and external visitors use the website? What creates friction? What creates value?

We then developed a solution that:

  • Simplified structure and navigation
  • Made content more accessible to different audiences
  • Improved universal design and usability
  • Streamlined editorial work
  • Created a more consistent and scalable digital framework

We worked systematically across UX, structure and technology — ensuring the solution genuinely supports the university's public mission.

When structure, accessibility and technology work together:

  • The quality of the user experience improves
  • The university's visibility and reputation are strengthened
  • Internal resources are freed up
  • Digital communication becomes a competitive advantage

Impact is not about having more pages. It is about making knowledge accessible in a way that actually works.
