A bland homepage doesn\u2019t exactly excite them to start their training. Likewise, a homepage that doesn\u2019t look anything like the rest of your website or your brand in general, seems impersonal.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the first impression you\u2019d like your learners to have.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you should customize your homepage<\/h2>\n<p>Training shouldn\u2019t feel like just another task your employees have to do. It should be <strong>a natural part of their job<\/strong> and <strong>connected to your brand<\/strong>. The same goes for training you deliver to external stakeholders, like your customers or partners.<\/p>\n<p>A custom homepage on your training portal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speaks of your brand:<\/strong> You can engage learners with the messages you want to get across and highlight the most significant courses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boosts consistency across all channels:<\/strong> The look and feel of your homepage should match the rest of your website, social media networks, and other channels, so that learners can quickly relate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is unique:<\/strong> You don\u2019t want learners to see a boilerplate page that could be designed by anyone and addressed to everyone; you want your training environment to differentiate from other platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeals to different audiences:<\/strong> For an even more personalized learning experience, you can create different homepages for different departments, clients, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why build your custom homepage with TalentLMS<\/h2>\n<p>The homepage of your training platform is usually a set of pages that learners view before logging and start a course. To create these pages, you need to integrate with a content management system like WordPress. But such an integration is not always easy to build \u2014 and maintain.<\/p>\n<p>With TalentLMS, though, your life can get easier. Our &#8220;custom homepage&#8221; feature lets you build a good-looking, mobile-friendly promotional website for your learning portal <strong>without coding<\/strong>, <strong>without extra integrations needed<\/strong>, and <strong>without additional costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you get with the TalentLMS custom homepage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easily build a branded homepage for your learning portal<\/li>\n<li>Customize what learners see prior to login<\/li>\n<li>Promote selected courses on the landing page<\/li>\n<li>Add new pages as needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Don&#8217;t have a TalentLMS account yet?<br \/>\n<\/b>Build your learning portal today<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">and start training your teams in just a few hours.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/create\/aff:bl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CTA.png\" alt=\"Create my TalentLMS forever-free account\" width=\"291\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to customize your TalentLMS homepage<\/h2>\n<p>Once you create your account with TalentLMS, you start with the default homepage, where learners can log into your portal.

Layout<\/h3>\n<p>You can customize, add, and edit the sections of your homepage in several ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Write a headline and subtitle:<\/strong> This is usually the first thing that your users will see, so you could share a welcome message and a brief description of your portal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a banner:<\/strong> This is your site\u2019s main image.

Each of those internal pages can have customized sections (text, images, etc.) as described above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add links to external pages:<\/strong> From the menu, learners can visit external web sources, for example, your company website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make pages available only to logged-in users:<\/strong> Decide which pages will be available to all and which will be private and accessible only to learners who\u2019ve logged in (e.g. your course catalog).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preview and optimize your page:<\/strong> Make changes as needed, preview the result, and finalize the structure and content without having to log in and out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15841\" style=\"width: 1776px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy.png\" alt=\"Example of a custom homepage at TalentLMS\" width=\"1776\" height=\"1395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy.png 1776w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy-1024x804.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy-768x603.png 768w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TLMS_20201123_HeaderImage@2x-copy-1536x1206.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot via TalentLMS: Example of a custom homepage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s some more info about adding <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014574414-How-to-add-custom-pages-to-your-homepage-without-replacing-the-default-landing-page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">custom pages to your training portal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another cool thing, here, is that you can create custom homepages for different branches, i.e., departments, clients, etc. Each branch can have a unique homepage, independently from your main training portal.
