Website Development for 50alliance Language Website Share: Devex Hub Score Awaiting client review n/a Date Published 23 May 2023 Reading Time 3-Minute Read Devex Hub worked with 50alliance, a language learning website, to enhance its product offering to language learners. 50alliance is a language learning website where one can learn, for free, over 50 languages, including Afrikaans, Arabic, Hebrew, German, Hindi and Punjabi, among many others. The website includes games, tests and phrasebooks, as well as exercises that focus on vocabulary, alphabets and numbers. One of the essential requirements for many jobs nowadays is that you must be fluent in a particular language, and in many cases more than one. This makes websites such as 50alliance popular with many language learners. But the website needed some development, which is why Devex Hub was approached for help. The Challenge One of the main problems that 50alliance faced was keeping up with the demand for new content. With over 50 languages to cover, the team had to continuously create new materials to keep the platform fresh and engaging for users. Another problem that the team faced was monetizing the platform while still keeping it free for users. And making the platform accessible to as many users as possible was another challenge that had to be overcome. The Solution To address the need for new content, the Devex team implemented a crowdsourcing model, allowing users to contribute new materials to the platform. This not only helped to increase the amount of content on the site but also created a sense of community among users. To monetize the platform, the team introduced premium features, such as personalized coaching and advanced courses, for users who were willing to pay for them. This allowed the platform to generate revenue while still providing a valuable service to users who were not able to pay. Finally, to ensure that the platform was user friendly, the team created an interface that was easy to navigate and interact with. They also optimized the site for mobile devices, making it accessible to users on-the-go. The Result We consider it a remarkable achievement that 50alliance has managed to offer a valuable service to millions of users worldwide. The platform’s success can be attributed to various factors, such as implementing a standardized process for content creation and review, optimizing the site for mobile devices, and introducing premium features. Additionally, the platform’s adoption of a crowdsourcing model has been instrumental in its growth and evolution. As a result, 50languages.com is now a comprehensive and easily accessible language learning platform that continues to improve.
