Custom CSS & Javascript: Customer, Product, and Page-Specific Changes
August 6, 2019Let's think outside the box.
Although each of our themes come with provided home page HTML (see: HomePage HTML Templates) you are by no means required to use our HTML.
Your possibilities for customizing these pages are endless!
Some of our creative staff have come up with out-of-the-box ideas for portal home pages that may inspire you to add a little fun to your portal home page. If you would like to add any of these ideas added to your portals, click here!

Moveable Elements
This home page uses interactive elements and clean images that mockup product offerings. The lighting and shadow effects create a scene that looks very real and is super fun to play with. Using absolute positioning to initially place the images and custom Javascript to make each element moveable, this portal's home page is sure to have users clicking and dragging! The scene could be modified to use different images such as a logo.
Mouse-Generated Ball Pit
Who doesn't love a splash of colour? It's even better when your mouse is controlling it! This home page is a mouse-generated ball pit that creates colourful balls when the user moves their mouse. The amount of balls and speed they are generated is determined on how fast the mouse is being moved. This was done almost entirely with custom Javascript in order to generate the balls and track the mouse. Ball colours can be customized to continue the branding of your logo.
Neon Sign with Text Editing
How fun is this neon sign complete with a blinking effect to give it a retro vibe? The best part is that users can click into the text to edit and make their own custom neon sign on your portal. Marketing idea: have users screenshot their text and post on social media for a chance to win a prize and get your business name out there! This portal home page was made with only HTML and CSS to create this nifty glowing sign effect.
