Studentidrett
Building a modern digital platform for Norwegian student sport
Project details
As part of my role at Solid Media, I was responsible for the technical implementation of Studentidrett's digital platform - the national home of Norges Studentidrettsforbund (the Norwegian Student Sports Federation). Working closely with the customer throughout the project, I transformed business requirements into a scalable and maintainable solution that combined a content-rich public website with a flexible content management system.
The project required close collaboration with stakeholders to serve two distinct audiences - individual students and member clubs - while ensuring content editors could manage events, news, championships and the nationwide club directory independently.
The platform was built with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and content flexibility. By leveraging a modern headless architecture, the solution allows the Studentidrett team to manage and publish content - from events and news to the nationwide club directory - independently, while maintaining a fast and responsive user experience.
Technologies
My Contribution
I was responsible for the full technical implementation of the platform, including frontend development, backend functionality, content management integration, database architecture, and deployment infrastructure.
Working in close partnership with the customer, I translated business requirements into scalable technical solutions while ensuring the platform remained easy to manage and evolve over time.
Content Management
A key requirement of the project was enabling the Studentidrett team to manage content independently without relying on developers.
Using Sanity CMS, I implemented a flexible content architecture that lets editors create, update, and publish events, news, championships and club information efficiently while maintaining consistency throughout the website.
The solution was designed to support future growth and make content management straightforward for non-technical users.
Performance & SEO
The platform was built with a strong focus on technical SEO, performance, and discoverability.
Using Next.js and server-side rendering, the website delivers fast loading times, strong search engine visibility, and an optimized experience across devices.
Particular attention was given to semantic structure, metadata management, content discoverability, and overall site performance.
