Good morning community! 😍

Do any of you have any completion certificate templates or HTML code that you can share to make your completion certificates a little prettier? 

We've created a number of very attractive backgrounds, but I'm going crazy with entering the text on the platform.

Thank you all in advance and have a great evening

All my best

i agree, they are a major pain to sort out.  I hope that some day they will be revamped and a more user-friendly design interface can be put in place to easily create them directly within Docebo.

The coding depends on your background image...I usually try and make the image a rich as possible so as to add the least amount of tags in the coding...
