## Abstract

A plurality of user segments is defined. Each user segment has a respective profile corresponding to one or more characteristics shared by one or more users. A plurality of elements of a user interface for a mobile application is defined. Each user segment is associated with a different subset of the elements. A first request is received to display the user interface on a first mobile device of a first user. In response to the first request, user data of the first user is analyzed. Based on the analysis, a first user segment to which the first user belongs is determined. The mobile application is then instructed to display the user interface according to a first customized layout on the first mobile device. The first customized layout includes a first subset of elements associated with the first user segment.
