New Design Engine
Under the hood, the certificate builder runs on the same high-performance engine as GHL’s Badge Builder. That means it’s built for speed and scalability, ready to handle any number of designs without slowing you down.
Together, these upgrades make the new certificate builder a game-changer for course creators, membership site owners, and agencies that want to impress clients without wasting hours on design.
Why This Update Matters
Certificates carry weight. They’re not just decorative—they represent achievement, credibility, and brand authority. That’s why this update matters more than you might think.
Faster Design, Less Hassle
The old way of creating certificates often meant wrestling with slow tools or outsourcing design work. Now, you can spin up a polished certificate in minutes, freeing your time to focus on delivering value instead of tinkering with layouts.
Professional Branding
Your certificates are an extension of your brand. A clean, custom-branded certificate tells clients and learners that your business is serious about quality. It’s a small touch that creates a lasting impression.
Premium Experience for Clients & Learners
When people complete a course, program, or training, they expect something to show for it. A professionally designed certificate boosts their sense of achievement and makes your program feel premium.
Agency Advantage
For agencies, this is another way to add white-labeled value. Whether you’re managing courses for clients or building membership programs, offering branded certificates is a simple upgrade that can justify higher pricing.
In short, the new certificate builder doesn’t just save time—it raises the perceived value of everything you deliver.

Quick Tips for Better Certificates
Even with a powerful builder, the details make the difference between a good certificate and a great one. Here are some quick tips to help your designs stand out:
Stick to Your Brand
Use your logo, brand colors, and consistent fonts. A certificate should feel like a natural extension of your business—not a generic template.
Keep It Simple
Don’t overload the certificate with too much text. Focus on the essentials: recipient’s name, course or program, completion date, and a signature or seal of approval.
Use Templates as a Launchpad
The pre-designed templates are a time-saver, but don’t just stop there. Add a personal touch—swap colors, tweak layouts, or insert custom icons to make it feel unique.
Highlight Achievement Clearly
Make sure the certificate clearly states what was completed or achieved. The wording should be bold, positive, and easy to read at a glance.
Save and Reuse Your Designs
Once you’ve created a strong layout, save it as a reusable template. That way, you can roll out new certificates for future courses or clients without starting from scratch.
These small choices add up to a polished, professional certificate that learners will be proud to share—and that’s exactly the kind of marketing your brand deserves.
