The Sisu front page for students redesigned
The Sisu front page for students has been revised to better serve the different student groups and their varying needs. The redesign will be visible after the release of the new version, after which you can choose whether you want to keep your current student front page or switch to the new layout. Later, the new front page will replace the current one.
The redesign has brought with it a new layout and a customisation option for the student front page: you can choose which elements you want to see or hide on the page.
During the front page redesign process, we have solicited input from the service users in a variety of ways, e.g. by collecting feedback through the Funidata Funilab community. In the future, you can participate in the development of Sisu by joining the Funilab community of Funidata on the front page of Sisu.
