And your training platform is one of them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase user adoption:<\/strong> The more familiar people feel with your LMS, the more likely it is for them to sign in and complete their training. Put differently, a platform that looks nothing like the rest of your website or other communication channels will easily turn learners off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improve learner experience:<\/strong> In eLearning, there are no \u201cone size fits all\u201d solutions. You know your learners better, and you understand their pain points more than anyone. So, you should customize your LMS, too, in order to meet those needs, and offer a better learning experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/5-reasons-why-you-should-customize-your-elearning-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Developing custom eLearning courses<\/strong><\/a> has its benefits, but at the same time, may sound like too much work. However, with an intuitive, easy-to-use training platform, like TalentLMS, customizations are a matter of just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how you can customize your training portal with TalentLMS:<\/p>\n<h2>How to deliver a better learning experience with TalentLMS customizations<\/h2>\n<h3>1.\u00a0 Upload your logo<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing that most people remember about your company, besides the name, is your corporate logo. In some cases, they might even <strong>recognize your brand simply by seeing your logo<\/strong> without even reading your company\u2019s name. That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential to add your logo to your learning platform, especially if you\u2019re training external stakeholders, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Having your TalentLMS-based eLearning portal showcase your logo is as easy as it gets. You just need to go to the &#8220;Account &amp; Settings&#8221; page and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014574094-What-are-the-recommended-logo-and-image-sizes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upload your image<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You also get to upload your own <strong>favicon<\/strong> (which is that tiny icon thingy that appears on browser location bars and bookmark listings when one visits your site).<\/p>\n<h3>2. Customize the colors of your portal<\/h3>\n<p>For larger businesses, and for well organized smaller ones, branding comes with a palette of official corporate colors meant to be featured on the company\u2019s website, advertising, packaging, business cards, and generally all kinds of collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller businesses might not have such detailed branding guidelines, but they could also benefit from a <strong>consistent image<\/strong> when it comes to color, e.g. by picking colors that are featured in their logo, or that go well with it.<\/p>\n<p>As for applying your brand colors to your TalentLMS portal, just go to the &#8220;Account &amp; Settings&#8221; page, and either select a theme from the list of themes that already matches your color scheme, or create <strong>your own custom theme<\/strong> by changing the colors of each visual element on your portal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/customize-the-colors.png\" alt=\"TalentLMS customizations: changing the color palette\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/customize-the-colors.png 850w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/customize-the-colors-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/customize-the-colors-768x452.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0Be the king of your own domain<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve made your training portal match your brand, by adding your logo and using the appropriate color palette, now you have to give it a name, too. TalentLMS offers <strong>automatic subdomain mapping<\/strong> for all our hosted eLearning portals, giving you your own \u201ccompany_name.talentlms.com\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While this might be enough for internal use, you\u2019ll probably want to use your own domain name for anything public-facing.

Set the tone (and the language)<\/h3>\n<p>Help your learners feel at home with their training by choosing their preferred language. Admins, too, can switch the back-end to the language they mostly use, so they can more easily navigate through the platform.<\/p>\n<p>As expected from a product catering to the international market, TalentLMS lets you easily change the language of your portal, with <strong>built-in language packs covering over 30 different languages<\/strong>, and the ability to add your own language packs.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t stop there, though, as it also allows you to dig in and <a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014659673-How-to-replace-words-or-phrases-with-your-preferred-alternatives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>change words and phrases across your portal<\/strong><\/a> (e.g. in headings or buttons), to <strong>match your brand\u2019s tone of voice<\/strong> \u2014 whether you prefer enterprise-y, casual, or anything between.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/language-packs.png\" alt=\"TalentLMS customizations: language packs\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/language-packs.png 850w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/language-packs-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/language-packs-768x452.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Customize your homepage<\/h3>\n<p>Your TalentLMS homepage is where your learners first come into contact with your learning portal. And also where they log in each day to get an overall view of their courses, planned activities, and scheduled events.<\/p>\n<p>TalentLMS allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/introducing-custom-homepage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>customize your homepage<\/strong><\/a> in all kinds of ways.

Keep everybody in the loop<\/h3>\n<p>You built your portal the way you wanted and you can now focus on the actual training. But, in some cases, you\u2019ll need to slightly change your portal to make a special announcement. Whether you want to inform learners about upcoming webinars, advertise a new course, or simply wish them &#8220;Happy Holidays&#8221;, TalentLMS has you covered.<\/p>\n<p>From your settings, you can <strong>set an announcement<\/strong> that can be visible on your homepage to anybody visiting your eLearning portal (&#8220;external&#8221;) and\/or shown when a user has signed in (&#8220;internal&#8221;).<\/p>\n<h3>7. Customize your course content<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re selling courses, then your course catalog is the virtual equivalent of a physical storefront \u2014 you want it to look pretty. And even if you\u2019re running an internal corporate training program, it won&#8217;t hurt to <strong>make your courses more appealing<\/strong> to your internal users.<\/p>\n<p>TalentLMS lets you set a custom image for each course, which will be displayed next to the course\u2019s name and details in the course catalog. To do that, you can simply select the desired image from the image upload box on the Course settings page. TalentLMS accepts the most common image formats, but your image has to be at most 3MB, so we suggest a compressed format such as JPEG.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get even fancier, you can <strong>customize the look of the text content within your lesson units<\/strong> \u2014 e.g. to use a &#8220;funnier&#8221; (sic) font for courses intended for smaller children, or to use specific fonts or colors to highlight important passages, etc. You can do that from the content editor, using the top bar to change the font, color, and other text attributes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/TLMS_20210122_1200x314_A.png\" alt=\"12+1 TalentLMS customizations\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/TLMS_20210122_1200x314_A.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/TLMS_20210122_1200x314_A-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/TLMS_20210122_1200x314_A-1024x268.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/TLMS_20210122_1200x314_A-768x201.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>8. Branch out<\/h3>\n<p>Do you always train the same, one audience? Chances are that you have to train people from different departments, employees who are in different locations, or even different clients. Then why not tweak your training to <strong>match the specific needs of each audience<\/strong>? Luckily you don\u2019t have to own multiple accounts and build separate portals.<\/p>\n<p>With TalentLMS, you can <strong>reach all audiences with one account<\/strong> \u2014 and unlimited sub-accounts. You can customize each sub-account (or \u201cBranch\u201d as you\u2019ll see it in your platform) so that they\u2019re tailor-made for different teams, and manage all from one place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15852 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/branches.png\" alt=\"TalentLMS customizations: branches\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/branches.png 850w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/branches-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/branches-768x452.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can get started with <strong>Branches<\/strong> in no time following\u00a0our handy video guide:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8vo41ZRv6wY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=PL36i_UcLTQFDXpo9zdmCxayDZX3l3oiEi\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong> Looking for an eLearning platform to train people from different departments?<br \/>\n<\/strong> Create branches no time with TalentLMS.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The training platform that users consistently rank #1.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/create\/aff:blog\" 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<h3>9. Create custom certificates<\/h3>\n<p>Certificates are a sort of proof of completion, a type of &#8220;degree&#8221;, that you give to learners who have successfully completed one or more training courses. They also serve as a reward that <strong>motivates employees to take and complete a course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>TalentLMS comes with <strong>ready-to-use templates<\/strong> so that you don\u2019t have to make your certificates from scratch. Pick the ones you like the most and customize them so they automatically display the info you want, for example, the title of the course, the learner\u2019s name, their average score, and the expiration date.<\/p>\n<p>While TalentLMS already comes in with several certificate templates, from formal elegance to utilitarian minimalism, it also lets you <strong>customize the design of your certificates<\/strong> by uploading your own logo, background, and text.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, here\u2019s our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014657093-How-to-work-with-certifications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>how to create perfect-looking certificates<\/strong><\/a> with TalentLMS.<\/p>\n<h3>10.

Customize almost any element of your portal using CSS<\/h3>\n<p>Have a specific design in mind for your eLearning portal? Don\u2019t particularly like a default style? CSS to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p>CSS (short for Cascading Style Sheets) is a powerful HTML technology that allows you to <strong>change all (visual) aspects of your TalentLMS portal<\/strong>, from font colors and sizes to background images. TalentLMS already comes with a default CSS style, and you can override all or parts of it to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already familiar with CSS, the possibilities are nearly endless. And if you\u2019re not, it\u2019s easy enough to get started, with our handy guides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014574434-How-to-discover-the-CSS-element-for-a-specific-page-object\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to discover and change the CSS of any element<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014574454-How-to-change-the-default-unit-font-with-custom-CSS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to customize your fonts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/help.talentlms.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360014659913-How-to-modify-the-CSS-of-your-domain-theme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to add a custom background image to your portal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>12. Set up notifications<\/h3>\n<p>TalentLMS has a powerful notifications system, allowing you to notify your users when some specific event happens (e.g. when they have successfully registered for a course, have to retake a test, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The notifications are highly customizable too, letting you choose <strong>which events will trigger notifications<\/strong>, as well as <strong>the exact wording of any message sent to the users<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15854 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/notification-copy.png\" alt=\"TalentLMS customizations: notifications\" width=\"607\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/notification-copy.png 607w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/notification-copy-300x165.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a video tutorial on how to use the notifications system:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/croCYe9ikAk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=PL36i_UcLTQFDXpo9zdmCxayDZX3l3oiEi\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>13. Add live chat<\/h3>\n<p>TalentLMS offers a number of built-in integrations, and quite a few more through the Zapier meta-integration service. But you can also extend TalentLMS\u2019 functionality using Javascript code that loads external services.<\/p>\n<p>One of such external services that can really improve your users\u2019 learning experience is Zopim, Zendesk\u2019s chat service.
