A user centric website and a unified content platform for educational services for The Directorate for Higher Education and Skills: ➡ https://lnkd.in/dsztF8Xe 🖥️ To streamline their services, a number of different directorates and organisations related to the educational sector in Norway were combined into one – the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. In this process, the new directorate needed to rethink how they communicate with their audiences. 🖥️ Our designers, together with developer colleagues from Sopra Steria Norway, have helped turn 30-ish disconnected websites into consistent communication. The result is a new, unified content platform that feeds content into a brand-new main website. ➡ Learn more in the case story: https://lnkd.in/dsztF8Xe #digitaldesign #webdesign #contentdesign
