Challenge

Dagens Nyheter faced the challenge of upgrading their custom-built system to handle increased web traffic, millions of page views, and future multimedia content while maintaining seamless performance.

Solution

Niteco built a new Episerver (now Optimizely) site with features like responsive design, intuitive UI/UX, faster media delivery, premium content, retina images, and seamless content publishing.

Result

The site performance is always 100% uptime with smooth web experience.

Dagens Nyheter (DN) is one of the largest daily newspapers in Sweden. As their web traffic increased to 1.5 million unique visitors per week & 5 million page views per day, their existing custom-built system needed a massive upgrade in order to continue delivering seamless performance for their loyal readers.

The site required a full revamp. This system must be able to store DN’s vast archive of content, handle millions of page views, all the while able to host all future multimedia products. 

Developed on the Episerver (now Optimizely) platform, Niteco built the new site for easy management, upgrade and maintenance. Highlight features include:

• A responsive mobile site adapting to various platforms
• Intuitive user interface and user experience
• A ping back model to synchronize videos and deliver faster media
• A premium content add-in along with a subscription payment model
• Excellent visualization with a retina image solution
• Book-marking and author-follow system
• Seamless content publishing workflow between the digital and the printed version

This system always maintains its performance of 100% uptime. With a smooth web experience, Dagens Nyheter can maintain their original audience while attracting new readership.
