Hi Community! 👋

I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experience building a custom Community page using mostly (or entirely) HTML.

We’re working on a custom landing page to support the launch of our new Customer Mentorship Program and would love to display all the key info—including an embedded Typeform opt-in—on a single page.

Since we’re using a third-party platform for the peer connections, we’re hoping to avoid requiring a Community login to sign up (though joining the Community will be a strongly encouraged CTA!).

One of my teammates is currently building the page from scratch, but they're running into an HTML error.

If you’ve tackled something similar:

  • Any best practices you’d recommend?

  • Would you be open to sharing how you structured your custom HTML or letting us take a quick peek at your setup?

Any tips or insights would be super appreciated—thank you so much!

Hey ​@ryanne.perry,

 

I'm short on time to provide a full reply, but I built this page: https://community.oleeo.com/p/SuccessSummit2025? mostly with the HTML widgets and banners.

I found there is a text limit on the html widget, i too got a cloudfare (i think) error, reducing characters and being smarter with my code made it work.

I’m also done a few pages that are mostly just HTML widgets. Our use cases are typically simple HTML forms that then submit the form’s payload to a zapier webhook (which we feed into tickets or other automations). 

In our use cases, we’ve used a third party script that allows the forms to be shorter, no personal information required. The script pulls the userId and sends that with the form payload, which allows us to look up the user and pull in other details about them.

@ryanne.perry Chiming in with another example from our community that is majority custom HTML, in case it’s helpful! While we don’t have an embedded form like what you described, our use case is somewhat similar in terms of engaging experienced users and getting them connected to our community. I’d be happy to connect you with our front-end engineer who helped with this if any particular elements of the page seem relevant or interesting!

Hi ​@ryanne.perry - also dropping three of my favorite custom pages here for your inspiration. They are not per se full HTML but they do a good job at showcasing the capabilities

@mbuuck1 already shared the Lucid Legends page which is awesome as well

Hi ​@ryanne.perry ,


I have worked on similar HTML-based community pages with embedded forms and custom CTAs, and Typeform integrations.
Happy to take a look at the error and offer some suggestions or share a clean structure that might help.
Keeping it simple and modular usually saves a lot of headaches down the line.
Feel free to reach out if you want a second pair of eyes.


You can reach out to me on my email here
