Success Story: Scaling an EdTech Brand with a High-Performance Learning Platform

Client Background
Our client, an emerging EdTech startup, aimed to provide high-quality online courses in technology, business, and personal development. Despite offering great content, they struggled with slow platform performance, low student retention, and high dropout rates.
Their goal was to build a scalable learning platform that could handle a growing user base while ensuring a seamless and engaging learning experience.

" After thorough research and analysis, our team at WEBRIIZE crafted a custom solution to revamp the platform and enhance the overall user experience. "

The Challenges

1. Slow Website & Mobile Performance
The existing platform had slow load times due to poor optimization. Pages took 6-8 seconds to load, leading to a high bounce rate as students left before engaging with content.

2. Poor User Experience & Navigation
The platform lacked intuitive navigation, making it hard for students to track their progress or find relevant courses. This led to a frustrating learning experience and low engagement rates.

3. Low Student Retention & High Dropout Rate
Students were enrolling in courses but not completing them. Completion rates were below 30%, affecting overall business growth and customer satisfaction.

4. Limited Scalability
The platform wasn’t designed to handle a large number of users. As traffic increased, performance issues worsened, resulting in downtime and lagging features.
