Inside Thrive Architect’s landing page template cloud, you’ll now find 12 + 1 additional smart landing page designs — created specifically for online course creators like you — that are part of our new Smart Online Course set.
You may remember that we previously released the perfect online course sales page template in Thrive Architect based on the massive amount of research we did for our previous sales page teardown post.

Reason #1: 12 Tutorialized Landing Page Templates
These 12 beautiful landing page templates were built with the DIY solopreneur in mind.
How's that you ask?
Because each of the online course focused landing page designs available in this set provide you with tutorialized copy.
That means the text displayed when you load a template doubles as your step-by-step instructions for writing landing page copy that converts.
Just follow the instructions to generate your own unique copy, replace the demo visuals with your own content, and quickly go from template to published landing page — in just a couple of minutes.
But exactly what type of landing page designs are included in the Smart Online Course set?
Good question. Within the set, you’ll find a Smart Online Course...
1. Homepage
Still struggling to build a pro-looking homepage for your online course based business? Don’t worry, this template is here to help you fix that fast:

Reason #2: Smart Landing Page Technology For Your Online Course Business
Now you might be asking yourself... “What makes each of these online course landing page designs smart exactly?”
Well, for these course landing pages, there’s two fundamental features the moniker refers to...
Smart Color Technology
Smart colors inside Thrive Architect landing pages means you can either choose from one of many pre-designed color palettes within the Style Editor tab of the right sidebar to completely transform the look and feel of your landing page in a single click:
To change your landing page’s smart color palette, simply click on the Style Editor tab in the right sidebar and either choose one of the pre-designed color palettes...
Or you can totally customize your own smart color palette within the Style Editor tab to instantly update your landing page to match your site's brand colors:
… or create your own color palette with the custom Style Editor options.
And if you don’t like the custom smart color palette you created, just click the “Reset Active Palette” button to start over:
Click the “Reset Active Palette” button inside the Style Editor tab of the right sidebar to start customizing your smart color palette over again from the default color settings.

Reason #3: 105 New Smart Page Block Designs
The Smart Online Course landing page set also gives you 105 smart page block templates built specifically to help you customize your online course landing page designs.
To customize your course landing pages with Smart Online Course Page Block designs, first add a Block element to the Thrive visual editor window, filter for the design category you’re looking for, and select the best Page Block template for the job.
To make it easier to navigate the 105 Page Block designs available, you can filter them based on 17 different design categories each of the templates has been assigned to:
- Hero Area
- Text/Content
- Benefits & Features
- List Content
- Steps
- Lead Generation
- Testimonials
- About
- Product Highlight
- Pricing Table
- Call to Action
- FAQ
- Statistics
- Contact
- Illustrated List
- Articles
- Team
Just open the Page Block template library by dragging & dropping a Block element inside the Thrive visual editor window, filter for the design category you're looking for, and select the best Page Block template for the job.
And because each of these online course Page Block templates is also smart, they will automatically inherit your landing page smart color and smart typography settings too!
Create Your Own Online Course Landing Page Design — From Scratch!
Of course, if none of the 12 pre-designed Smart Online Course designs fit a particular landing page need you have, you can also build your own — from scratch — using a combination of the Smart Online Course Page Block designs on the Blank Page design:
The Blank Page template included in the Smart Online Course landing page set.
Just load the Blank Smart Online Course template, drag & drop a Block element into the Thrive visual editor window (or click on the blue “Add A Page Block” button) to open the Page Block template cloud, and get started adding as many page block designs as you need to build your own custom course landing page.
From there, just modify each Page Block's tutorialized copy, replace the demo content with your own, and you’ll have a publish ready landing page for your online course funnel faster — and cheaper — than you can create a Fiverr ad to hire a marketing pro to do the work for you!

Yeah! I’ve recently been tempted to buy yet another application (ThriveCart) because of its sales funnel function. However, I already have my existing course on Thrive Apprentice and use SendOwl for my cart. But I really don’t want to spend any more money. So this is perfect timing.???? I’ll be using these for my latest course sales funnel and will let you know how it goes. Thanks!
That’s great to hear Leigh… we’d love to hear how these Smart Online Course landing page templates work out for you when it comes to building your sales funnel.
Some nice looking page designs here.
Great work
How about a homepage template design for a site that has multiple courses.
This home page is targeted at only one course.
Great for a site that only has one course.
But as we build our sites we will end up having more than one course.
And I would love some sales pages for Ebooks.
So how about some templates designed just for Ebooks?
Anyway great work team, cheers keep it up.
Thanks so much Adam and I’ll make sure to pass your feedback along to our design team!
Fantastic. Now, I want to build landing pages just because. 🙂
See, I told you this landing page set made building your online course funnels fun. 😉
Thanks so much Prisqua!
Wauv, Thank you so much for keep adding value to us Thrive Members.
You’re super welcome!
Hey Matt, loving all the new templates as I used the original sales page template for my online coaching business. I really appreciated that you added links for viewing the entire template right in the article vs me having to load them one at a time in Architect.
Cheers Stephen! Glad the links to each of the landing page designs made it easier for you to look through them. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when showing off our new smart landing page sets in the future.
All we need from you legends at Thrive Themes is a plugin or functionality in Apprentice to process payments for courses or memberships so I don’t have to buy Thrivecart…!
Can we get Thrivethemes to comment on this? This functionality is so much needed
Hi Sam,
We are not currently planning on building out our own checkout system. We however made a deep integration with WooCommerce so it’s easy (and free) to start selling your courses.
Just ‘BRILLIANT!’ – Thanks a million.
This is exactly what I need as I launch my new online course. Great work, Thrive Team! Thanks!
Oh, WOW, love it… how much time have you just saved me… I’ve just finished my product creation, the next step was to get it all online. This is just the best!
Thank you so much Matt.
Good Timing Matt! Updating and upgrading Thrive Apprentice with these new sets of page templates is very welcome. We are going to use and test them right away in 2 of our e-learning websites for clients.
I really enjoyed the video and am pumped about creating a new sales funnel for my courses. The only thing holding me back is that Apprentice still hasn’t had an in-depth repair which would fix the problem of people logging in after their first visit.
LOVE IT!
Dear Matt. At this point I believe the quality and power of Thrive Themes Suite is only commensurate with the information and parallel advice that they offer us on design, strategies, marketing, tips & tricks. Invaluable everything. We appreciate it from the heart.
Greetings
Jorge
I’m a total newbie – but I don’t understand how I can use this set instead of the shapeshift theme in the theme builder?
Hi,
This is a landing page set, which means it’s independent from your theme.
