Oslo Marathon website redesign & release support

The Oslo Marathon is one of Norway’s biggest annual sporting events, attracting thousands of runners and spectators each September. To keep such a large-scale event running smoothly, the website plays a crucial role — from registration to sharing real-time updates on race day. 

In collaboration with facefirst.no, Deveit delivered a complete website redesign, UX/UI improvements, and high traffic support.

A modern and user-friendly digital presence 

Homepage and Article template 

Our team created a completely new Homepage and Article template for https://oslomaraton.no/ . The redesign focused on website UX/UI improvements, ensuring that visitors can easily find event details, schedules, and news. 

Technical reliability during race days 

High traffic website support 

One of the most important aspects of this partnership was ensuring website stability during events. Last year, our monitoring revealed that the standard hosting plan would not handle the surge in traffic. We scaled resources and optimized performance, enabling the website to stay fully operational throughout the marathon.

Performance optimization 

By combining technical improvements with proactive monitoring, we secured event website performance optimization. Participants and fans had uninterrupted access to the platform during peak loads, which is critical for an international sports event.

Tools and technologies we used 

To deliver the redesign, we used WordPress with Elementor Pro and custom Elementor widgets. This stack provided: 

• Flexibility for content management. 
• Rapid creation of new pages. 
• Stable scalability for high-demand events.

This approach ensured that Oslo Marathon’s digital presence is both easy to manage and technically future proof.

Results of the partnership 

• A refreshed and user-friendly Oslo Marathon website redesign. 
• A dedicated website for the Oslo Half Marathon. 
• Improved UX/UI for participants and visitors. 
• Stable performance during high traffic on race day. 
• Continuous design, development, and support from Deveit — in collaboration with facefirst.no.

A long-term partnership for success 

For Deveit, this collaboration is more than just sports event website development. It demonstrates how the right technical partner can ensure success when it matters most. By combining design, development, and ongoing support, we help large-scale events like Oslo Marathon deliver seamless digital experiences to thousands of users.
