Customizing Your Co-op

Almost everything visual lives in one place: Admin → Settings, split across a few tabs.

• Branding tab: your logo, accent color, and public page.
• General tab: welcome message, contact email, time zone, and region.
• Members tab: which sections show up in the sidebar.

Your public-facing website is designed separately in the page builder, covered in Public Page Builder.

Upload a logo and it takes the place of your co-op’s name in the sidebar and the mobile menu, so members see your mark instead of plain text.

Pick the accent color your co-op sees while signed in. It colors the buttons, links, and highlights across the dashboard, and members see the same accent you do.

A short message that sits at the top of the member dashboard, so it’s the first thing families see when they log in. Use it for a seasonal greeting or a reminder like “Registration opens May 1st.”

Set an email address that members can use to reach your co-op. It shows up in a few places in the member dashboard so families know how to get in touch with a real person.

You don’t have to use every feature. If your co-op doesn’t run a gallery or a forum, you can hide those Community sections so members’ sidebars show only what’s relevant to them.

Set your co-op’s local time zone so dates and times read correctly everywhere they appear: event notifications, announcement emails, text messages, and calendar links. Members see their own clock instead of doing the math.

Your Country setting (under Admin → Settings → General) does two quiet but important things:

• It sets the address fields on member profiles: “State” and “Zip code” for the U.S., “Province” and “Postal code” for Canada.
• It sets the currency families pay in at checkout: U.S. dollars for U.S. co-ops, Canadian dollars for Canadian co-ops.

Separate from the member dashboard, your public page is the front door prospective families see before they join. Turn it on or off under Admin → Settings → Branding → Public page. Once it’s live, it’s at /co-op/your-co-op.

Designing it (layout, content, photos, and its own color theme) happens in the page builder, which is part of the Plus plan. Public Page Builder walks through it block by block.

Logo, color, and welcome-message changes take effect the moment you save; there’s no separate publish step. To check your work, open your own dashboard. Admins and members see the same branding.

One more touch: give your co-op its own sign-in address (like your-co-op.homeschoolgo.app/login) under Admin → Settings → General. Members who visit it see your logo and name right on the login page.
