Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Digital platforms are at the core of modern business and social ecosystems, offering users a gateway to services, information, and communities. However, ensuring their success demands more than technical functionality; user engagement and retention are critical for long-term viability. This study explores the factors influencing digital platform success, including user experience (UX) design, personalization, trust, security, gamification, and the role of community building. Through a combination of qualitative interviews with platform developers, quantitative surveys of users, case studies of successful platforms, and literature analysis, this study integrates diverse perspectives to develop a robust framework for designing engaging and sustainable digital platforms. The study concludes with recommendations for practitioners and researchers to optimize user-centric digital solutions.
