Customizing Your Academy Landing Page

Last Updated September 2026

1. Your Academy Storefront

Every academy on ZextaOS has a publicly accessible storefront at [academy-name].zextaos.com or your custom domain. This is the page prospective students and parents land on before they sign up.

It's completely separate from the student portal. Students who are already enrolled log in through this page to reach their dashboard.

2. Customization Options

  • Hero Heading & Subtext: Set custom titles and value propositions in your dashboard settings, or ask Pawn to write high-converting copy for your specific academy.
  • Theme Colors: Define primary and accent colors that apply across all student-facing pages.
  • Background Media: Add a looping background video URL or custom logo to the hero section.
  • Full Custom HTML: For total design freedom, input raw HTML/CSS directly. ZextaOS renders your custom markup while preserving student login and registration routes.

3. Using Pawn for Page Design

Describe the visual theme you want to Pawn: "Design a dark knight chess theme with gold accents and a motivational quote from Magnus Carlsen in the hero section."

Pawn generates the HTML/CSS and shows you a preview before it goes live. You approve it, and it deploys to your subdomain immediately. If you don't like it, regenerate with a different prompt — no code editing required.
