No templates — your brand, built from scratch
Built from your colors, fonts, and voice, so it looks like your admissions office made it, not a SaaS vendor. No watermark, no platform UI.
360° campus WebTours for higher education
We didn't build this for schools that want a tour. We built it for the student who needs one.
(It just happens to be a really good one.)
Custom-built 360° campus experiences that look like your admissions office designed them — for every student deciding their future from a bedroom five time zones away.

01 The new normal
A virtual tour isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's the norm.
The age of passing brochures is over. Applicants live on their phones, and a glossy viewbook can't compete with an interactive tour that speaks their language.
One in three applicants already consults a virtual tour before applying. The question isn't whether they'll take one. It's whether yours holds them.
Attention spans are short and getting shorter. Students give a PeekPeek WebTour 3.5 minutes of undivided attention (per Google Analytics). For a 17-year-old with four tabs open, that's an eternity.

should have a great one. That's the mission — starting with yours.
◆ The difference
We are NOT a passive virtual tour.
It's behavioral engineering that turns a curious 17-year-old into an application, measured every step.
02 The guided tour
A menu makes them choose. A story makes them stay.

so they bounce.

Library
Library
Silent floors up top, group rooms below, and the cafe everyone actually studies in.
An IG story swipe?
Sure, why not.
Students stay 3.5 minutes on average. Straight from Google Analytics.
Behavioral engineering. Not a slideshow.
01
Processing fluency
Attention
The story-tap habit they already run on autopilot.
In plain terms
The tour looks and works exactly like an Instagram story, a format every teenager already uses without thinking. Because there is nothing new to learn, they start tapping right away instead of getting confused and clicking off. You are meeting them inside a habit they already have.
02
Narrative transport
Immersion
Progress dots pull them all the way to the end.
In plain terms
Instead of a menu of buildings to choose from, the tour plays as one guided story with a progress bar at the top. That small cue makes students want to reach the end, the same reason you finish a show even when it is late. They stay engaged far longer than they would clicking around on their own.
03
Peer social proof
Trust
A real student earns what a brochure cannot.
In plain terms
A real current student narrates the tour, so it feels like a friend walking you around campus rather than an ad. Teenagers tune out polished marketing fast, but they lower their guard for someone who looks and sounds like them. That trust is something a brochure or a staff voice simply cannot buy.
04
Peak-end rule
Action
“Apply now” lands at peak excitement.
In plain terms
People judge an experience by its highest moment and its final moment, not the average. We place the “apply now” invitation right at that peak, at the end of the tour when excitement is highest. Asking at the right moment turns a good feeling into an actual application.

05 Why PeekPeek
This is a campus tour, not a cold real estate showcase. It should have life in it.
Template tools like YouVisit and Concept3D (see how we compare) can't capture what makes your campus yours. We build the life back in: real students narrating, hotspots on what matters, campus events throughout.
Real students narrate — not a selfie stick
Student ambassadors guide prospects in their own voice, showing the spots only a current student knows. Authenticity converts better than polish.
Built by people who needed it
Our founder chose his school from across an ocean on three photos. We build the tour we wish we'd had, and students stay 3.5 minutes on average.
A fraction of the enterprise price tag
A more branded experience at a fraction of enterprise cost. No enterprise contracts, no drawn-out onboarding.
06 One build, every audience
Your campus, working around the clock.
08:00 · Recruiting
Admissions & yield
Embedded on your admissions site, linked from every email campaign, QR-coded at every college fair. The students who can't visit get the next best thing — and the ones who can show up already knowing where the library is.
13:00 · Live session
One ambassador. 200 students. One hour.
A student ambassador screenshares the WebTour on Zoom. Prospects from Seoul to São Paulo explore campus in real time and ask questions as they go. A 200-person campus visit with zero travel budget — record it once, replay it forever.
19:00 · Pre-arrival
Virtual orientation
Incoming students learn the campus before they board the plane: where the registrar is, which dorm is theirs, where everyone actually eats. Day one feels less like landing on another planet — especially for international students.
00:00 · While you sleep
Recruitment intelligence
We track which buildings, programs, and hotspots get the most attention — and feed it back to your team. If the engineering lab gets 3× the clicks of the business school, your recruiters know before the next college fair.

average session inside a PeekPeek WebTour, per Google Analytics
Easily the smoothest vendor experience we’ve had. One call, one shoot day, and the PeekPeek team handled the rest — every email answered the same day. It never felt like managing a project.
The tour doesn’t look like software — it looks like us. Visitors assume our own design team built it. That level of polish is exactly the first impression we want our campus to make.
We migrated from YouVisit and haven’t looked back. The new tour is better designed, our team updates it ourselves, and we’re paying a fraction of what we used to.
How we compare — YouVisit/EAB, Concept3D, and us
We respect both companies — they proved this category matters. Here's where we differ.
| PeekPeek | YouVisit / EAB (Appily) | Concept3D | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A bespoke web experience built from your brand | A tour inside the Appily platform shell | A module in a campus-software suite (maps, events, rooms) |
| Design | Hospitality-grade, custom per school — no two alike | Consistent template across hundreds of schools | Configurable within the platform's look |
| Contract | Project build + simple hosting — a fraction of enterprise cost | Enterprise relationship within the Enroll360 suite | Annual SaaS, quote-based tiers |
| Time to live | 4–6 weeks, no enterprise onboarding | Enterprise onboarding cycle | Platform implementation cycle |
| Switching to us | We handle the migration — design, content, embed. Smooth, fast, lower cost. | Several clients have migrated from YouVisit to PeekPeek | Migration handled as part of our onboarding |
They wrote a $2 million check. The least you can do is show them the building.
A named facility deserves more than three photos in a thank-you letter. Give major donors an immersive, branded experience of exactly what their gift built — accessible from anywhere, any time, something worth forwarding to everyone they know.
Ownership compounds. Donors who feel connected to what their money built give again, and bring others. The tour isn't just gratitude — it's your most powerful retention tool for major-gift relationships, and the strongest opening slide of your next capital campaign.
08 The process
From brief to live in 4–6 weeks.
01
Consultation
We learn your campus, your brand, and the story admissions needs to tell — then map the buildings, routes, and hotspots worth capturing.
Week 102
Photography
Our team shoots on campus with professional 360° equipment — quads, dorms, labs, aerials. A building takes hours, not days.
On campus03
Designing
The tour's interface is designed from your colors, fonts, and visual identity — so it feels like your school built it. No templates.
Your brand04
Coding
Custom-built by hand: stitching, hotspots, navigation, accessibility, and a CMS backend so your team stays in control after launch.
Hand-built05
Hosting
Live on AWS with one line of embed code — any CMS. Monitored continuously, so nothing breaks during application season.

Four to six weeks from brief to live, including the campus shoot. Rush timelines are available when you're up against an admissions cycle deadline.
Yes — you get a single embed that works in Slate, Drupal, WordPress, Cascade, Modern Campus, and any custom CMS. We help with the embed at no extra cost, and the tour also lives at its own shareable URL for emails, ads, and QR codes.
Yes. You get a CMS backend so your staff can update content any time — new buildings, updated faculty, seasonal photos. Our IT team also monitors the tour continuously, so you're never hunting down a broken link in application season.
Built for it: WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, Section 508 and Title II readiness, SOC 2 Type II reporting available under NDA, GDPR/CCPA DPAs, and SSO/SAML support. Public institutions clear review with documentation we provide.
A project build plus simple ongoing hosting — typically a fraction of what enterprise platforms charge per year. You're paying for craft once, not renting a template forever. We'll give you a real number on a 20-minute call.
No app, no plugin, no download. Pure web — a student on a three-year-old Android in Jakarta gets the same experience as a family on a MacBook in Westchester. Most prospective students take the tour on a phone.
Google Analytics is built in from day one — visits, session time, and which buildings, programs, and hotspots get the most attention. If the engineering lab gets 3× the clicks of the business school, your recruiters know before the next college fair.
Yes — we've helped YouVisit clients migrate to PeekPeek many times. They get a better-designed, more branded experience, a more responsive team, and a significantly lower cost. The transition is smooth, and we handle the heavy lifting.
That's one of our favorite use cases. An ambassador screenshares the tour on Zoom and walks 200 prospects through campus in real time, answering questions as they go. Record the session once and replay it for every admitted-student event, orientation, and recruitment cycle after.
Yes. One build can carry your admissions site, athletic recruiting, graduate programs, and advancement — including immersive experiences of named facilities for the donors who funded them. Each audience gets its own entry point into the same tour.
