Boost engagement & drive greater value with Graduway’s redesigned homepage

In the spring, we introduced the new personalized homepage, designed to deliver a more engaging and tailored experience for every user. The homepage empowers users to easily access relevant information by prompting them to update their profiles, which then tailors content based on their interests and needs. Users can view events based on their location, connect with mentors, network with alumni, and explore job opportunities relevant for them—all in one place.

Graduway enhancements that increase engagement:

• Personalized homepage: Each user sees a custom page with their profile picture, progress ring, and relevant updates.
• Engaging content: Interactive tiles display upcoming events, news, job postings, and social feeds to keep users informed and involved.
• Flexible design: Customize the layout, colors, and logos to align with your brand effortlessly.

This streamlined interface has not only enhanced the user experience but also driven engagement, leading to a 30% increase in time spent on the platform and a 40% rise in profile completion.
