How to Design a Custom Login Page for Your System

To design a custom login page, you control four things: the background, the logo, the login box colour, and the button colour. Together they decide whether the system reads as yours.

Why the login page is worth the effort

It is the only screen every single user sees, every single day, before doing anything else.

A default page that looks like a third-party product
No brand recognition for clients using a portal
Nothing distinguishing your system from any other
A first impression made by someone else's design

Decisions to make

Background image — full-bleed, high resolution, carrying your visual identity
Title text — a greeting or instruction above the login box
Logo — transparent PNG usually works best over an image
Login box colour — rarely transparent, since it competes with the background
Button colour — your primary brand colour, for the clearest call to action

How to configure it in Jestor

Open the white label settings in Jestor.
Add a title and upload your logo.
Select the background image — paste or upload it directly.
Set the central box to a light, near-white tone so the form stays legible over the photo.
Set the button colour and save.

Why choose Jestor for branded access?

Jestor applies the change immediately on save, so the page can be adjusted and reviewed in a single sitting rather than through a deployment cycle.

The advice on transparency is practical: a transparent login box works over a light, plain image and becomes unreadable over a busy one. A near-white background is the safer default.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the login box be transparent?

Usually not — it competes with a busy background image.

Why does my image look pixelated?

The file is too small for the screen; use a higher-resolution image. See jestor.com.

Do changes apply immediately?

Yes, the page updates as soon as you save.
