- Custom actions allow you to track any visitor activity or state on your site.
Development guides show you how to develop and manage your site, to improve its user experience, and to create personalized visitor journeys using the Frosmo Platform:
- Segmentation allows you to target specific types of visitors with content that meets their interests.
- Placements determine where on the web page a modification is placed.
- Modifications are real-time changes to web pages designed to improve the usability and user experience of the website, and to guide visitors to complete conversions.
- Templates define reusable pieces of content for modifications.
