Klimb is white-label, which means your academy carries your brand, not ours. The fastest way to set the tone is to choose a theme — a professionally designed look that controls layout, typography style, and overall feel. This guide tours the available themes and shows how to pick and customize the right one.
What a theme controls
A theme is the visual foundation of your academy. It governs the look of your home page, course listings, lesson player, and checkout — the entire learner-facing experience. On top of the theme you layer your own logo, colors, and fonts and your home page content. The result is an academy that looks custom-built for your brand.
The available themes
Klimb ships six themes, each tuned for a different kind of creator:
- Academy — clean, classic, and education-forward. A safe, trustworthy default that suits almost any subject.
- Creator — warm and personality-driven, built to put you front and center. Great for solo creators and personal brands.
- Bold — high-contrast and energetic, with strong type and vivid accents. Ideal for grabbing attention and standing out.
- Kids — playful, friendly, and colorful, designed for younger learners and family-oriented content.
- Corporate — polished and professional, tuned for B2B training, certifications, and team learning.
- Tech — sleek and modern with a developer-friendly aesthetic, perfect for coding, data, and technical courses.
Pick a theme in the Studio
From the Studio, open Settings → Branding and select Theme. You’ll see each option with a preview so you can compare. Choose the one whose feel matches your audience and subject. You can switch themes at any time — your courses, lessons, and learners are unaffected, since a theme only changes presentation.
Customize your chosen theme
A theme is a starting point, not a straitjacket. After selecting one, make it yours:
- Apply your brand colors so accents and buttons match your identity.
- Upload your logo so it appears in the header and on checkout.
- Set your typography to align with your brand voice.
All of this is covered in Logo, Colors, and Fonts. Then shape the content of your front page in Customizing Your Academy Home.
How to choose well
If you’re torn between themes, ask:
- Who are my learners? Kids content calls for Kids; enterprise training suits Corporate.
- What’s my brand personality? Energetic and loud points to Bold; calm and credible points to Academy.
- Am I the brand? If your face and voice are the draw, Creator leans into that.
When in doubt, start with Academy — it’s the most versatile — and refine later.
Preview before you commit
Whatever you pick, view your academy in an incognito window to see exactly what learners see across desktop and mobile. Once the theme and branding feel right, it’s one more box checked on your Launch Checklist.
