--- title: "Custom Pages for Cornerstone & HR Platforms – Octily" source: https://octily.com/customization/custom-pages/ description: "Design custom pages in Cornerstone and HR platforms that fit your unique needs for workflows, communication, dashboards, onboarding, and learning experiences." --- # Custom Pages That Make Your HR Platform Feel Built for You Standard pages only get you so far. Every platform has gaps. A missing onboarding flow, a better way to bring learning together, a page for communication, or something unique to your organization. Custom pages let you build the missing piece. Inside Cornerstone Galaxy or connected across your wider HR ecosystem. Add the pages your platform is missing, but your team actually needs.

Every team has different needs, workflows, and priorities. Custom pages give you the freedom to shape pages around your unique needs. Whether it's something common like onboarding or something completely specific to your setup, you're not limited to what the platform offers by default. You decide what the ideal employee experience looks like. CustomOnboardingHubTailored![Octi illustration showing custom page ideas like onboarding hubs and tailored employee experiences](https://octily.com/assets/octi-custom-pages-illustration-C7xrJZd1.webp) ## Break out of the box ### Bring Everything Into One Place Pull pages, tools, actions, and key information into one clear setup. No more switching between systems or figuring out where things live. ### Build Around Real Use Cases Create pages that match your team’s needs. Tailored by role, region, or user group, so each page shows exactly what's relevant. ### Connect Your Platform Ecosystem Extend beyond Cornerstone Galaxy. Connect to your systems, data, and tools using APIs, MicroApps, and custom integrations. Turn separate tools into one unified experience. ### Vision Becomes Reality The ideas that used to stay in workshops and conversations. The ones that felt out of reach. This is where they become real and start shaping your HR strategy. ### Stay in Control Manage your pages directly in the Octily Content Editor. Update content, adjust layouts, build new pages yourself, and trigger browser notifications to reach your team. ### Grow With Your Strategy Start with one use case and expand over time. Add new pages, integrations, and functionality as your platform evolves. OlyBet case study ## From Information Hub to Engagement Platform OlyBet built an external career site that goes beyond job listings. A space to showcase their culture, tell their story, and make it easier for candidates to connect from the first click. ![OlyBet Group case study](https://octily.com/assets/brand-olybet-case-study-bg-Dg411FAi.webp) [Download the PDF](https://octily.com/downloads/Octily_CaseStudy_OlyBet.pdf) [Read the full case study](https://octily.com/insights/from-information-hub-to-engagement-platform-olybets-digital-evolution-with-octily/) > “We set out to create a career site that goes beyond listing open positions.” > > “It needed to showcase who we are and make the process easy for every applicant.” ![Kairit Rebane](https://octily.com/assets/brand-olybet-kairit-B_a8zpr_.png) Kairit Rebane Group Partner Performance and Development OlyBet Group Right place. Right moment. ## Show up where your employees are Custom pages don’t have to live in a single location. The real question is where they support your employees best. Keep them inside Cornerstone Galaxy for a fully integrated experience, or build them outside your HR platform to create better flows and remove friction. In both cases, everything stays connected. ### Build directly in Cornerstone Keep everything in one place inside your HR platform. Fully linked to your data, workflows, and daily tools. ### Build where it matters most Create pages outside your platform when it improves the experience. Simplify access, support employees at the right moment, and connect everything back using APIs, MicroApps, and octo.taxi. Rethink how learning shows up ## Make development visible, active, and impossible to ignore Learning is often hidden behind menus, catalogs, and separate pages. Easy to miss. Easy to ignore. Custom pages push it forward. Into the daily flow. Into decisions. Into moments where it has real impact. So people don’t just have access to learning, they feel it, see it, and act on it. ![Custom learning hub page showing development paths and learning content](https://octily.com/assets/linde-learning-hub-custom-page-DCM5xueV.webp) ### Learning hubs Not a place people visit. A place that shows where they stand, what’s next, and how they’re progressing. Clear direction, visible momentum, and a reason to keep going. ### Academy Pages More than structured content. Shared spaces where teams learn from each other, discover what’s new, and see progress and achievements build over time. ### Development Paths Not static journeys. Living paths that guide, adapt, and push forward. Clear next steps, visible progress, and a sense of direction that keeps people moving. ### Onboarding Hubs First days that feel like a real welcome, not a checklist. A space that brings together what to do, what’s important, and what it means to be part of the team. ![Manager communication hub with employee updates, interaction, and engagement features](https://octily.com/assets/aak-communication-manager-hub-rn0LAY7Q.webp) Make Them Talk About You ## Communication that reaches, connects, and gets employees involved Most communication is one-way. Sent out, missed, and forgotten. Custom pages turn that around. They create spaces where employees don’t just receive information, they react, respond, and stay connected. Around topics, teams, and what actually matters. ### Communities & Interaction Bring employees together around topics, roles, or shared interests. React, reply, and keep conversations going instead of sending one-off messages. ### Recognition & Wellbeing Make appreciation part of the experience. Achievements, milestones, and support stay visible and don’t disappear after a single moment. ### Feedback & Insights Go beyond surveys. Create spaces where employees share input, see responses, and turn feedback into something visible and actionable. ### Information & Action Spaces More than content. Pages where employees find what they need, take action, and move forward. From guidelines to forms to next steps, all connected. Your HR control center ## Bring work, requests, and actions together in one place There's no real home for work today. Requests sit in inboxes. Approvals get lost. Tasks live across different tools. Custom pages change that. They give you a single space where employees don't just find information, they act. Submit, approve, follow up, and keep work moving without switching systems, fully optimized for desktop and mobile. ![Custom HR control center showing workflows, approvals, and employee actions](https://octily.com/assets/change-management-lanxess-workspaces-_Tufc_on.webp) ### Request & Service Pages Stop chasing forms, emails, and the right contact. A single starting point where employees launch requests, get answers, and move on without friction. ### Workflow & Action Pages No more back and forth. Processes run in one flow, with clear steps, approvals, and next actions that keep things moving without delays. ### Team & Project Spaces Work doesn't disappear into chats or scattered tools. Everything stays visible, owned, and moving forward in one shared space. ### MicroApps & Smart Actions No more "go to another system." Check status, trigger tasks, and take action instantly, right where the work happens. ![Resource center dashboard with employee information, insights, and quick access tools](https://octily.com/assets/mcdonalds-resource-center-dashboard-BowBgFR6.webp) Stop the Search ## Make your platform clear, actionable, and easy to trust Too much information, not enough clarity. Policies, updates, and data spread across pages, documents, and systems. Custom pages make it work as one. Not just to find information, but to understand what's happening and act on it. See what matters, spot what needs attention, and move before things become a problem. ### Resource Centers Stop searching across pages, PDFs, and outdated documents. Give employees a single space to find policies, guidelines, and key information instantly, or use a chatbot to ask questions and get guided straight to the right answer. ### Insights & Action Don't just track data, use it. Show dashboards with trends, comparisons, and key metrics so managers and teams see what needs attention and act on it. From expiring certifications to hiring timelines, everything is visible and actionable. ### Targeted Experiences Show the right information to the right employees. Tailor pages by role, region, or group so employees only see what's relevant, not everything at once. ### Live & Connected Content Keep information accurate without manual updates. Connect pages to your systems and data so content updates automatically and always reflects the latest status. Custom Made ## Change your out-of-the-box platform into a custom HR platform that actually fits your team Custom pages aren't just layouts. They're built from different elements that shape how employees find information, take action, and get things done. Pick what you need, combine what works, and create a setup that reflects how your organization actually runs. ![Octily Content Editor icon](https://octily.com/assets/welcome-icon-oce-Db4CENuw.webp) ### Octily Content Editor Change it up Build and update pages yourself.
