Comprehensive National Education Information Portal

vilbli.no is the official information service for applicants to upper secondary education in Norway, owned by Novari IKS and the county municipalities. Eloop was tasked with delivering a highly accessible, centralized digital platform that provides students, parents, and advisors with up-to-date, quality-assured information regarding educational programs, admission rules, and application procedures across all Norwegian counties.

Centralizing Complex National Education Data

Managing and distributing accurate, up-to-date educational information across multiple county municipalities is highly complex. The challenge was to consolidate vast amounts of data—ranging from study preparation programs and vocational training to specific county admission requirements—into a single, user-friendly portal.

The system needed to be highly accessible to a diverse audience (youth, adults, and advisors), support multiple languages, and perform flawlessly under heavy traffic, especially during peak admission seasons.

The solution

Eloop built an accessible, unified information portal including:

Intuitive County-Based Filtering: A smart selection system allowing users to easily filter by county to find relevant local school offers, deadlines, and special programs.

Structured Educational Pathways: Clear, visual categorization of study preparation and professional programs (e.g., Healthcare, Technology, Media) for effortless navigation.

Multilingual Accessibility: Integrated language and translation options to ensure vital educational information is accessible to a wider demographic.

Robust Content Delivery: A reliable architecture designed to handle high traffic volumes and deliver essential application resources, PDFs, and forms seamlessly.

Technology Stack

UI/Frontend Frameworks:

Bootstrap & jQuery (Providing responsive, mobile-first layouts and interactive elements across all devices).

Cloud Infrastructure & CDN:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Amazon CloudFront (Ensuring secure hosting, high availability, and rapid content delivery nationwide).

Analytics & UX Tracking:

Google Analytics (GA4) & Hotjar (To monitor user behavior, optimize the applicant journey, and improve site usability).

Asset Management:

Masonry, Isotope, & jsDelivr (For dynamic grid layouts, filtering capabilities, and optimized script loading).
