A reader recently asked me how to create a custom client login page in WordPress. They wanted something more professional and branded than the standard WordPress login.
If you run a business or manage client services, creating your own client login page helps your site look professional and secure. It’s also a great way to reinforce your brand and build client trust every time someone signs in.
In this guide, I’ll show how to create a client login page in WordPress with no coding required.
What is a client login page? A client login page is a private area on your WordPress site where users can securely log in to view documents, dashboards, or other protected content.
Quick Steps to Create a Client Login Page in WordPress:
Why Add A Client Login Page to WordPress?
A custom client login page helps you protect sensitive content and present a more professional, branded experience.
The default WordPress login screen is an excellent solution for personal websites, but it looks generic and boring. Client-facing WordPress sites need a login page that looks more professional and gives your clients a good impression of your business.
With a custom WordPress customer login page, you can personalize it to suit your clients. You can also hide the default login screen, reducing login spam and keeping your WordPress site secure.

How to Create a Custom Client Login Page with SeedProd
SeedProd is a drag-and-drop WordPress website builder that makes it easy to design custom pages without writing code. It comes with professionally designed templates, including login page templates, so you can build a fully branded client login page in minutes.
I’m using SeedProd because it gives you complete control over the design and branding of your login screen. Instead of a generic WordPress login box, you can create a page that matches your website’s style, adds extra elements like logos or background images, and feels polished to clients.
Step 1. Install and Activate SeedProd
The first step is to download the SeedProd plugin and upload and activate it on your WordPress website.
For detailed instructions, follow this guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
After activating the plugin, you’ll see a welcome screen where you can enter your SeedProd license key. You can find the license key in your SeedProd account under the Downloads heading.
After verifying your license key, scroll down and click the Create Your First Page button.
On the next screen, you’ll see SeedProd’s landing page dashboard, where you can create different types of landing pages. Click the Set Up a Login Page button to get started.
Step 2. Choose a Login Page Template
SeedProd now asks you to choose a template for your client login page. There are tons of templates you can choose from, and even a blank template if you prefer to start from scratch.
To choose a login page template, hover your mouse over its thumbnail and click the checkmark icon.
Your template will now open in SeedProd’s visual page builder.
Step 3. Customize Your Client Login Page Template
One of the best things about SeedProd is you can customize your client login portal in the drag-and-drop builder without hiring a developer. It’s easy to customize any template element by pointing and clicking on it with your cursor.
For instance, clicking the ‘sign in’ heading opens a panel on the left where you can change the heading content, text size, alignment, font, and more.
Adding new content to your client login screen is just as easy with SeedProd’s landing page blocks. All you need to do is choose a block from the left side of the screen and drag and drop it into place on the right.
There are various blocks to choose from, including:
- Images
- Buttons
- Social profile buttons
- Countdown timers
- Progress bars
- And many more
Like blocks, SeedProd also offers a variety of premade sections, such as headers, footers, features, and FAQs. Adding them to your page is just as easy as hovering over a section and clicking the plus (+) icon.
If you want more control over your client login screen’s look and feel, you can head to the Global Settings panel. Just click the cog icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
In the Global Settings panel, you can change your page’s background, typography, and color scheme without changing the settings of each element individually.
For example, you can change your global color scheme by clicking the Colors heading. From there, you can choose custom colors or click the Color Palette button to choose from 20+ pre-made color palettes.
When you’re happy with how your client login page looks, click the Save button in the top-right corner of your screen.
Step 4. Configure Your Page Settings
If you plan to collect email addresses on your client login screen, you can connect your optin form to your email marketing service by clicking the Connect tab at the top of your screen.
From there, choose your email marketing provider from the list, and follow the instructions to connect and authorize your account. Now, whenever a client subscribes via your optin form, they’re added to your email list automatically.
Additionally, you can head to the Page Settings tab to configure several other settings.
Here are some of the settings you can edit on this screen:
- General – Change your login page name and URL, display a SeedProd affiliate link, and more.
- SEO – If you’re using a WordPress SEO plugin, you can set your page SEO title, meta description, etc.
- Analytics – Track the performance of your login page using an analytics plugin like MonsterInsights.
- Scripts – Paste tracking codes and retargeting scripts like cookies or Facebook tracking pixels.
Remember: click the Save button periodically to save your changes.
Step 5. Publish Your Client Login Page
Once you’re happy with your client login screen, you’re ready to publish it and make it live on your website. To do that, click the dropdown arrow next to the Save button and click Publish.
After that, you’ll see a message telling you your page is now live.
Click the See Live Page button to preview your new client login page.
Here’s the page I created on our test website:
Now, all that’s left is to enable the login page mode in your WordPress admin area, and it’s super easy to do.
Just exit the SeedProd builder, and go back to the main SeedProd dashboard. Then under the Login Page mode, click the toggle from Inactive to Active.
That’s It! Your client login page now has a custom design.
Alternative: Add a Login Form with WPForms (Optional)
If you don’t need a fully branded login page, a simple login form might be enough.
WPForms is a beginner-friendly WordPress form plugin with a drag-and-drop builder. You can use it to create contact forms, surveys, and with the User Registration addon, client login forms.
Here’s how it works in short:
- Install WPForms from Plugins » Add New, then activate the User Registration addon under WPForms » Addons.
- Go to WPForms » Add New and select the User Login Form template.
- Customize the fields if you like, then embed the form on a page (using the WPForms block) or in a sidebar (Appearance » Widgets).
- Optional: In the form’s Confirmation settings, add a redirect so clients land on a welcome or dashboard page after login.
WPForms is ideal if you just want a lightweight login form inside your site. For a complete, on-brand login page, SeedProd is still the best choice.
