Case Study: Editora Moderna doubles mobile visits and boosts engagement with Liferay

Education portal transformed student and teacher experience

Editora Moderna, part of Spain’s Grupo Santillana and a leader in Brazilian educational publishing, needed to modernize its digital presence to better serve teachers and students with diverse learning profiles. Its legacy platform hindered integration with existing systems, was hard to update, lacked developer support and qualified staff, and couldn’t meet a tight time-to-market while managing a very large content volume.

Working with GM5 and Liferay, Moderna rebuilt its portal (Moderna Plus) with a mobile‑first, user-centric design—adding personalized panels, multifaceted search, tablet support and easier integration. The phased rollout across six sites improved usability, search positioning and engagement; overall traffic and user counts rose, and mobile visits doubled.
