Customize Your Academy Landing Page
Edit your academy landing page, including nav, hero buttons, footer, preview mode, and what the summary labels mean.
Your academy landing page is the public homepage for your academy (for example https://ciodevs.edvello.com or your custom domain). Students and prospects see it before they sign in. This guide covers the editor under Distribute → Landing Page.
For org profile and subdomain setup, see Customize Your Organization and Set Up a Custom Domain.
Open the landing page
1. Go to Distribute → Landing Page
From the admin dashboard, go to Distribute → Landing Page.
2. Review the summary card
The right-hand card shows your current theme, hero heading, and nav link count. Click Customize to open the full editor.
What “2 links” next to Nav means
On the summary card, Nav may show a label like 2 links. That is a count of navigation items you configured in the landing page editor. It is not a separate setting named “2 links.”
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 link | One item in the top navigation |
| 2 links | Two items in the top navigation |
Edit the actual links in the customize flow (labels and URLs for each nav item).
Hero buttons
The hero section supports a primary and optional secondary action.
| Button | Typical default | What to configure |
|---|---|---|
| Primary (e.g. Get Started, Start Learning) | Often points to /login |
Label and destination URL |
| Secondary (e.g. View Cohorts) | Optional second CTA | Label and destination URL |
Use your academy paths (for example /login or /courses) so visitors stay on your academy domain. After you verify a custom domain, test buttons on the live site, not only in preview.
Footer
The footer editor lets you set brand text, link columns, social links, and bottom bar copy. Save changes in the editor, then check the live site. If footer text looks wrong in preview, confirm on the published page.
Themes
Edvello ships multiple landing themes. Pick the one that fits your brand from the editor.
Preview vs live site
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Landing page preview | Scaled thumbnail; course and nav links do not navigate |
| Live academy | Full behavior; use this to validate CTAs and footer |
Always validate hero and footer links on the live site before sharing the URL externally.
