New users begin their Alo Moves's journey with an onboarding survey. It is the perfect opportunity to gather information about a user's preferences, such as level of experience, preferred teaching style, etc. Alo Moves will then use the data to match the best possible instructor for that user.

A new user who clicks the sign-up button will see the welcome page with the title: LET'S FIND WHAT MOVES YOU.

Users need to answer five questions, set their preferences about the classes, teaching styles, and let All Moves understand their experience level.

Booking.com is the market leader in the online travel booking industry and one of the most frequently visited websites globally.

Its powerful algorithms can quickly and accurately match customers with the best hotel or flight available at any given time.

Leverage Geolocation to offer Relevant Recommadation

Booking.com can offer relevant travel recommendations when visitors land on their website for the first time using geo-location.

Based on the visitor's IP address, the site can deliver appropriate recommendations to the user's current location. For example, Booking.com will show a visitor in Auckland the most popular travel destinations in New Zealand.

Real-time Personalized Recommendation Base on Search Information

When a new visitor starts a search on Booking.com, Booking.com will record the search query and other information provided and update primary recommendations across pages.

For example, a user in New Zealand may search for information about Australia. After he finishes the search and clicks the homepage again, Booking.com will change the primary recommendations on the homepage to locations in Australia.

When the user re-visits Booking.com later, popular locations in Australia will still be the primary recommendations.
