Nordic Welfare Centre

Background and challenge

The Nordic Welfare Centre is an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers, with offices in Sweden and Finland. The centre is a platform for cooperation between the Nordic countries on social welfare and public health. It is also home to PopNAD, a website sharing Nordic research on alcohol, drugs, doping, tobacco and gambling with a wider audience.

The previous website was around eight years old and ready for a complete overhaul: a new structure, a new design and a modern technical foundation, meeting WCAG accessibility standards while keeping all existing content.

Solution

As their web agency, we began work in the first quarter of 2026 with a digital strategy, an SEO analysis and a technical review of the existing website. These findings informed our wireframes and a new design, giving topic areas, publications, news and events a clear, accessible place on the site.

We built a new WordPress website in Scandinavian languages and English, with PopNAD as a dedicated section under the Nordic Welfare Centre. We migrated all content from the old website, with WCAG accessibility standards underpinning both the design and the code.

The new website launched in the third quarter of 2026, and we continue to manage and maintain it in partnership with the Nordic Welfare Centre.
