Workvivo HQ is one digital headquarters for every employee. One place where people show up, communication happens, and knowledge lives, with AI that makes everything easier to find, act on, and understand.
Custom Landing Pages is Workvivo’s fully configurable homepage experience - a flexible, widget-based platform that lets organizations design structured, engaging homepages tailored to their teams, departments, or campaigns. It is the homepage experience within Workvivo HQ.
This feature transforms the traditional single-feed homepage into a dynamic, intranet-style hub where employees can easily find what matters most. It helps organizations create a digital front door that reflects their culture, priorities, and brand identity - all while keeping people connected and informed.
By giving you control over layout, content, and audience targeting, Custom Landing Pages empower your teams to communicate more effectively. Whether you’re highlighting company news, surfacing key tools, or celebrating culture, this feature helps you bring everything together in one engaging, easy-to-navigate space.

How to Create a Custom Landing Page
Introduction
- A maximum of 20 Custom Landing Pages can be created in total, shared across web and mobile admin configuration
- Pages appear in a carousel in the navigation; pages 7–20 are accessible via a dropdown overflow menu
- Each page has its own layout, widget set, and audience targeting
- Pages support a drag and drop editor - in Edit mode simply click on the asset until the hand icon appears, drag and then drop
- Tabs can be also reordered by drag-and-drop
- Tabs can be disabled without deleting them (disabled tabs remain visible to admins/Spotlight Managers in a dropdown but not to end users)
HQ in Edit Mode
HQ landing pages are built as tabs, starting from the first tab on the left, labelled HQ.
-
Landing page creation and editing occurs in edit mode. Click the pen (Edit) icon in the top right of the screen to enter. The user must be in edit mode to add or change tabs and widgets.
-
Add a tab. In edit mode, choose Edit tabs, click Add, then give the tab a title, an icon, and an audience (everyone, or specific team(s)). You can create up to 20 tabs and reorder them. Where tabs target different audiences, the order determines what each user sees first.HQ Edit Tabs | Add Tab
-
New tabs start deactivated. A tab you've just added is only visible to you until you activate it, so you can build it out safely before rolling it out.
-
Choose the dashboard layout for the tab (3-column grid, 2-column grid even width, 2-column grid left expanded or a standard feed with widgets on either side).
-
Add and configure widgets. Add widgets using the plus icon or the Widget Catalogue (browse or search under Discover). For each widget you can set its own audience, choose its display style where available (for example carousel or list), and drag to reposition it. Widgets can sit in the top banner/header zone or in the dashboard body below.
HQ Add Widget
- Activate the tab when you're ready for its audience to see it. It is possible to activate or deactivate any tab at any time.
Side Navigation Explained
The top navigation bar (Explore | Connect | Resources | Admin) has moved to a collapsable left-side navigation panel. This provides more consistent navigation across the platform, aligns with common intranet and SaaS application patterns and further provides for a more extensible platform.
HQ Left Side Collapsable Navigation
Audience Types
The following audience types are supported
- Everyone
- Specific Team(s)
Audience Targeting Explained
- Tab-level targeting: the tab is only visible to users in the defined audience
- Widget-level targeting: the widget is only visible to users in the defined audience, even if the tab itself is visible to a broader group
- Spotlight Managers can only target audiences to teams they are a member of
- Admins and Spotlight Managers can see content within widgets even if they are not in the audience (visibility for management purposes)
Audience Best Practices
- Use Everyone for universal utility content: global news, emergency notices, org-wide links
- Use Specific Teams for relevance-driven content: role-, region-, or business-unit-specific information
- Favor narrower targeting when content is useful to a subset of employees, to reduce homepage noise and improve engagement
- Consider how navigation is set up alongside landing pages — the Unrolled Mega Menu makes top-level navigation visible at all times
- The default homepage is determined by page order — users land on the first page they have access to based on audience targeting. If page #1 is targeted to a specific team, users outside that team will land on the first page they do have access to instead.
Use Cases Summary
Custom Landing Pages can be used to create:
- Departmental hubs - HR, IT, Finance, or People Ops pages with quick links and key updates.
- Campaign or event pages - Highlight company-wide initiatives, launches, or events.
- Manager or team dashboards - Combine tools, news, and resources in one place.
- Knowledge hubs - Curate essential documents, pages, and FAQs for easy access.
- Comms-led homepages - Showcase featured news, announcements, and culture stories.
Custom Landing Page versus a Space
Custom Landing Pages and Spaces are complementary, not competing.
- Space = persistent home for a community, topic, or program
- Custom Landing Page = structured front door for attention, navigation, or campaign moments
Core distinction
Use a Space when you need ongoing conversation and long-lived content (feed, docs, pages, and institutional context).
Use a Custom Landing Page when you need structured visibility for a defined period or goal (launches, campaigns, deadlines, events) or to highlight key information from long-lived areas such as quieter departmental homepages.
Example operating model (company kickoff)
For a major moment such as a company kickoff, run both together:
- Create the Space first as the permanent destination where content and conversation will continue to live
- Activate a Custom Landing Page before and during the moment to drive visibility and action
- Scale the landing page down after the moment, while keeping the Space as the enduring source of truth
Why this model works ?
- Avoids losing important content in fast-moving feeds
- Preserves a long-term community/content home in Spaces
- Gives comms teams a clear campaign surface in Custom Landing Pages
- Helps customers move from social-only behavior to stronger intranet patterns over time

Layout Options Described
HQ Dashboard Layout Options
Feed + Widgets on Each Side
A central activity feed with widget sidebars on either side.
When to use: for organizations whose primary use case is engagement. Use when social activity remains the homepage heartbeat and widgets are there to support and structure that experience.
Strong fit: organizations prioritising engagement, recognition, and culture · teams that rely on feed communication daily · existing Workvivo customers who want familiar UX with better structure
Benefits: preserves Workvivo's engagement loop · familiar, lower change-management overhead · combines social flow with curated widgets
Drawbacks: weaker fit for operational or knowledge-led homepage goals · sidebar widgets need to be simple due to width constraints · not ideal for orgs seeking a quieter intranet-first entry point
3 Column Grid
A wide three-column dashboard with balanced, smaller widget areas.
When to use: when the homepage acts as a true multi-source dashboard and users are expected to scan many widgets quickly.
Strong fit: operational hubs with many parallel information sources · manager or program dashboards with multiple status widgets · department pages blending updates, tools, and links
Benefits: maximises widgets visible above the fold · supports fast scanning and broad discovery · works well as a launchpad page
Drawbacks: smaller widget footprint reduces impact of each one · higher setup and governance effort · can feel cluttered without strict curation
Tip: works best when each column has a clear job — for example "what is happening", "what to do", and "what to know".
2 Column Grid — Even Width
Two equal columns of widgets, without a central feed.
When to use: when you need a clean, structured default that still supports meaningful breadth.
Strong fit: department landing pages with natural left-right content pairings · customers moving from feed-led behavior toward intranet workflows · pages where readability matters as much as coverage
Benefits: balanced visual weight · easier to maintain than 3 columns · professional and tidy page feel · more predictable mobile behaviour
Tip: strong default option if uncertain. Start here, then adjust using analytics and engagement feedback.
2 Column Grid — Left Expanded
A wide left column for lead content and a narrower right column for support content.
When to use: when one story or campaign needs to lead clearly and supporting content should play a secondary role.
Strong fit: leadership updates and company-wide campaigns · program pages with a single dominant narrative · onboarding pages with a guided journey and supporting links
Benefits: strong editorial impact · clear attention direction toward lead content · effective for high-priority "moments that matter"
Drawbacks: less suitable for dense dashboards · narrow right column can be overloaded easily · can feel sparse if lead content is weak
Best Practices
- Start simple - Begin with one or two tabs and expand as needed.
- Use audience targeting to keep content relevant and reduce noise.
- Balance visuals and utility - Combine storytelling widgets (e.g., Billboards, News) with practical ones (e.g., Quick Links, Featured Apps).
- Keep it fresh - Update featured content regularly to maintain engagement.
- Review analytics - Use performance data to refine layout and widget mix.

HQ Widget Analytics
Tab Analytics Explained
Captures reach and views for the tab:
- Reach - the number of individual people who have seen it
- Locations - reach broken down by location
- Departments - reach broken down by department
- Impressions - the total number of times it has been viewed
Tab analytics can be exported.
Widget Analytics Explained
Captures everything in tab analytics (Reach, Locations, Departments, Impressions) plus engagement:
- Engagement — the total number of interactions received
- Opens — the total number of times people opened it to see more detail or read comments
- Unique Reactors — the total number of users who reacted
- Total Reactions — the total number of reactions
- Comments — the total number of comments
