We are thrilled to finally launch our new website design! Why a new look and feel to our site? To put it bluntly, the old Daily Scandinavian site was designed for a different era (i.e. three years ago). Enjoy!

As of 2 November 2016, our new website is live! It features a whole new look with mobile-first responsive design, and a new focus on sharing with you Scandinavian active lifestyles, destinations, accommodation, attractions, history, arts and music, architecture, fitness, recipes and more.

We are confident you will find the new look and feel visually pleasing and easy to navigate.  As we have grown and evolved in the past, so will our website.  We will continue to add helpful information so that you may discover Scandinavia with Scandinavians!

With more and more of you accessing web content via tablets and smart phones, we needed to redesign the look and feel of the site so that it was more multi-platform friendly (a fancy way of saying we wanted to make sure it looked good on any device).

We also wanted to make sure that the images really popped on the new site. After all we’re a part of the travel industry, and the “graphic” part of that is really important to us and our readers. Finally, we wanted to streamline things. As our content has expanded some of the old ways of navigating, the site didn’t work so well any more.

We have published almost 700 articles by now, and that’s a lot of information for all of you to navigate! Hopefully, our new design will make things a little easier on you.

We thank our web-designer and webmaster Amir Hussain for his excellent cooperation.

Enjoy!

Journalist, PR and marketing consultant Tor Kjolberg has several degrees in marketing management. He started out as a marketing manager in Scandinavian companies and his last engagement before going solo was as director in one of Norway’s largest corporations. Tor realized early on that writing engaging stories was more efficient and far cheaper than paying for ads. He wrote hundreds of articles on products and services offered by the companies he worked for. Thus, he was attuned to the fact that storytelling was his passion.
