Important: If your account looks different from what's shown here, don't worry! This update is rolling out gradually and will be available to you soon.

The Landing Page Designer is a drag-and-drop editor that lets management companies build the pre-login landing page for Vantaca Home without writing HTML.

The pre-login landing page is the first thing residents see when they visit Vantaca Home. Use the Landing Page Designer to create a professionally branded experience in minutes, adjusting layout, images, and content with drag-and-drop blocks.

 

Contents

 

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following before you start building landing pages:

  • Superuser access to your management company's Vantaca Home configuration.
  • Your association branding (logo, color palette, imagery) ready to upload.
  • A clear idea of the content and links you want on the landing page (announcements, payment link, contact info, etc.).

Note: Each association has one live landing page at a time. The default page applies to every association that has not been individually assigned a different page.

 

Access the Landing Page Designer

To open the Landing Page Designer:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Portal Pages > Landing Pages.
  2. The Landing Pages screen opens, displaying a table of all landing pages for your site.

 

Working with the Landing Pages Table

The Landing Pages table is the home base for managing every landing page on your site. Each row represents one page and includes:

  • Name: The title you gave the page when you created it.
  • Live: Whether the page is currently live, in draft, or unpublished.
  • Association: The number of associations where this page is currently deployed.
  • Last Modified: The date this page was most recently updated or edited.

From this table you can:

  • Edit: Open the page and make changes to its content or settings.
  • Duplicate: Create a copy of the page to use as a starting point for a new one.
  • Set Default/Remove as Default: Mark this page as the default landing page template for every association. Default pages apply to any association that has not been individually assigned a different page. Use Remove as Default to unset it.
  • Manage Associations: Choose which associations this page is assigned to. Assigning a page to one or more associations makes it the live landing page for those associations and overrides the default.
  • Delete: Permanently remove the page.

 

Create a New Landing Page

To create a new landing page:

  1. On the Landing Pages screen, click New Landing Page. The editor opens with a blank canvas.
  2. Give the page a name.
  3. Edit your new page using the drag-and-drop components.

 

Edit a Page

The editor uses a drag-and-drop interface. The left side of the screen is your design canvas. The right side is a panel of building blocks and settings you can drag onto the canvas or use to adjust the currently selected element.

To make changes:

  • Drag a new block from the right panel onto the canvas to add it to the page.
  • Click any element on the canvas to select it. The right panel shows the available settings.
  • Drag existing blocks up or down to reorder them.
  • Click outside the editor or select another element to deselect.

 

Drafts, Live Pages, and Defaults

A landing page moves through three states based on how it has been assigned. You can save your work at any time without affecting what residents see.

  • Save: Saves your current work as a draft. A page is a draft whenever it has not been assigned to any associations, so it is not visible to residents.
  • Manage Associations: Assigns this page to one or more specific associations. The page becomes the live landing page for each of those associations, overriding the default.
  • Set Default: Makes this page the default landing page for every association. Any association that has not been individually assigned a different page will see this one.

 

How Landing Pages Are Assigned

Each association has one live landing page at a time. The default page is used wherever an association has not been individually assigned a different page through Manage Associations. Assigning a different page to an association overrides the default for that association only; other associations continue to use the default.

This model keeps the resident experience predictable: every association has exactly one front door, and you only have to change the default to update every site that has not been individually customized.

 

Best Practices

  • Keep the page focused. The pre-login screen has one job: invite residents in. A clean layout with a clear call to action performs better than a busy page.
  • Use high-quality images. Pixelated or stretched images undermine an otherwise polished design.
  • Test on mobile. Most residents will see the page on a phone. Switch the editor preview to mobile (if available at the top of the canvas) before publishing.
  • Iterate in draft. Save as you go. Don't publish a half-finished page just to see how it looks. The Live Preview feature shows you the result without changing what residents see. Live Preview – Coming Soon.
  • Start from a template. Building from scratch is supported but most users get a better result faster by adjusting an existing design. Templates – Coming Soon.

 

FAQ

Q: Can I have more than one landing page assigned at once?

A: Yes. Each association has one live landing page at a time, but you can have several landing pages in your table: a default that applies to every association, and additional pages assigned to specific associations through Manage Associations. A page with no associations assigned is a draft.

 

Q: Do I need to know HTML or CSS to use the Landing Page Designer?

A: No. The editor is fully drag-and-drop. You can build a complete landing page without touching any code.

 

Q: Can residents see my draft pages?

A: No. Drafts are landing pages that have not been assigned to any associations, so residents never see them. Residents only see the page that is currently assigned to their association, or the default if no page has been assigned individually.
