Edwiser RemUI Update: Customize Moodle in Real-Time [NO CODING]
94 percent of users rejected a website and entirely blamed the website design before dropping off.
Horror stories like these make you think that having learner-friendly, clean, professionally designed websites are a must.
So, it makes sense to customize your Moodle site to make it appealing and easy-to-use. Now, as all websites go, there are three ways to do this.
Ways to Design a Perfect Moodle Site
#1 The CLASSIC time-consuming way:
| Create custom code for every element to be tweaked→ Make the changes you want, not knowing how they would actually work or look on your Moodle site → Conduct a super time-intensive round of testing the changes → Go back to re-editing what you don’t like → Load the new changes and test them yet again |
And the vicious cycle goes on! It’s like being stuck on a hamster wheel.
And it also sounds like too much work! I’m not even counting the number of times you approached a developer to get all of this done.
#2 The blow-your-budget option
| Hire a developer → Explain your Moodle customization requirements and the overall vision/purpose to him/her→ Go through the headache of multiple back-and-forths when you don’t get the desired results → The developer then charges you a bomb for the project (including the hours spent, the changes made and the number of iterations taken) → End up being satisfied that comes at a huge cost or roll with the new design even if you don’t want to, (since you’ve already spent a fortune and can’t afford more money) |
To be honest, just reading this makes my head spin. If this option works out for you, great. But if it fails, it could be a costly mistake. But you could easily avoid this if you pick the next option.
#3 The SMARTER way that saves your time and effort:
| Make the changes you want without any coding–>See them LIVE as you make them → Preview all the edits right there once done→ Save or reset depending on how happy you’re with the changes |
This one is way simpler! In fact, it’s the best way to take the guesswork out of your Moodle customization. (More on this in the article below). How do you achieve the above? Read on to know.
Introducing the Edwiser Live Customizer
Now, Moodle has a bit of a clunky design that not many moodlers would be comfortable with. Only a few can argue that Moodle is simple to modify
Not to forget that the customization as mentioned in #1 and #2 above can take up a lot of time and effort.
I know how annoying it can get tweaking your Moodle site to absolute perfection.
So, do you want to modify your Moodle site [NO CODING] while previewing live how the changes will look like?
I have a solution for you offered right in our updated Edwiser RemUI theme.
The Back Story – 6 Reasons Why?
The pandemic last year gave us some thoughts to ponder about – thoughts about taking Moodle customization to the next level. We kept getting questions from several moodlers to further simplify the customization process.
And as we moved into 2021, our thoughts materialized, the questions bothering so many moodlers were finally resolved!
Here are 6 prime reasons why we came up with the live customizer feature in Edwiser RemUI:
| 1) A lot of users didn’t have a developer to design and customize their Moodle site as per their requirements 2) They were not aware of any coding/CSS 3) It took a lot of time for them to set up the theme as required since it either involved developer assistance or help from product support 4) Lack of ability to change colors on the Left sidebar, links on the Moodle site, hover effect, page background-color 5) Some of them had reported that the theme lacks customization options/settings 6) It was difficult to maintain CSS code for every major release of the theme or the version of Moodle |
Key Takeaway
The more personalized, and usable your website is, the longer your students will stay, and more likely come back later.
So, you need to add that personal touch with beyond-ordinary modifications to your Moodle site. And preferably without bugging your developers.
Our team figured that these personalized tweaks not only take time but also demand CSS and coding knowledge.
And that’s when we thought of updating our theme with the handiest customization solution.
