Client case
Kunskapsskolan's intranet for employees
Kunskapsskolan i Sverige AB operates primary schools, upper secondary schools and adult education throughout Sweden. After developing the design and UX for both Kunskapsskolan's and Kunskapsgymnasiet's new websites, it was now time for the intranet to receive an updated design
Kunskapsskolan's intranet is part of Kunskapsskolan's pedagogical platform Kunskapsporten, which is a working tool for both teachers and students. It contains the schools' teaching materials and resources but also functions as an administrative tool for teachers. The portal also serves as a communication channel between students and teachers.
The assignment
This became our third project together with Kunskapsskolan, which we are both proud and happy about. The assignment mainly involved reviewing the design, which needed a more modern look. Some UX improvements were also made to make it easier for users to find what they need
On the intranet there was a need to clarify and simplify things that were unnecessarily complicated or hidden. The goal was, among other things, to improve readability, accessibility and, on an overall level, ensure the design is consistent with the schools' websites
The aim was to create a portal that feels:
- Modern
- Easy to navigate
- Functional
- Warm
- Secure
- Welcoming
The result
Some of the measures taken included giving the main navigation clearer and more accessible functionality. The site received a new structured navigation with clearer entry points and placement at the very top of the page. Because students and teachers have access to different information, a navigation structure was developed for each target group.
The design received a more modern look that aligns with the graphic profile we previously redesigned for Kunskapsskolan and Kunskapsgymnasiet. Design work was carried out on selected page templates together with a complementary component library.
“The new design and navigation have given our employee pages a new identity. It is clearer, easier to find and fits well with our websites. Limetta have been fantastic to work with, they have understood our needs, taken wise initiatives, and created a design that I am proud to implement.”
says Tove Johnsson, product owner for the intranet at Kunskapsporten.
