What is Scholix?

Scholix is a Digital Experience Platform built exclusively for educational institutions. It gives your school, college, university, or institute a fully functional website — with built-in modules for admissions, events, faculty, courses, gallery, and more — all from a single dashboard.

You don't need a developer, a designer, or a hosting provider. Scholix handles everything: the website, the hosting, the domain, and the content management.

Scholix is not an LMS, ERP, or fee management system. It is your institution's public-facing digital presence — the website the world sees.

Creating your account

To get started, visit scholix.io and click Get Started. You will be asked to create a customer account with your name, email address, and phone number.

  1. Go to scholix.io and click Get Started.
  2. Fill in your name, email, and phone number and create a password.
  3. Verify your email address using the link sent to your inbox.
  4. Once verified, you will be taken to your dashboard where you can create your first institution website.

Your customer account is separate from your institution website. One customer account can manage multiple institution websites.

Onboarding

Step 1 — Institution details

The first step of onboarding collects your institution's basic information. This is used to pre-configure your workspace, starter content, and default module setup.

  • Institution type — select the category that best matches your institution (e.g. Degree College, School, University, Training Institute).
  • Website name — this is the public name of your institution as it will appear on your website.
  • Website address — choose a subdomain for your site (e.g. greenvalley.scholix.io). This is auto-filled from your website name but can be changed. It must be unique and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

Click Continue once done. Your workspace will be provisioned in the background — this typically takes under a minute.

Step 2 — Choose a theme

After your workspace is created, you will be prompted to select a website theme. The theme controls the overall look and layout of your public website.

  • Browse the available themes and click Preview to see how your site will look.
  • Click Select Theme to apply it to your workspace.
  • You can change your theme later from the Website → Theme section in your dashboard.

Changing your theme later will preserve your content (pages, modules, media) but will reset your color and font customizations.

Step 3 — Domain setup

In this step you confirm your website address. Your free Scholix subdomain is already active. If you want to use your own domain (e.g. www.greenvalley.edu.in), you can set that up here or skip it and do it later.

After completing this step, your website is live and accessible at your chosen address. You can now log in to your institution dashboard and start building your website.

Website Setup

Managing pages

Your website comes with a set of pre-built pages based on your institution type. You can manage all pages from Website → Pages in your dashboard.

  • Add a page — click New Page, give it a title, and choose which sections to include.
  • Edit a page — click any page to edit its title, content, and section settings.
  • Publish / Unpublish — toggle a page's visibility from the page list without deleting it.
  • Delete a page — permanently removes the page. This cannot be undone.

Uploading media

The media library stores all images and files uploaded to your workspace. Access it from Website → Media.

  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, PDF.
  • Maximum file size: 10 MB per file.
  • Uploaded media can be used across pages, module profiles, gallery sections, and banners.

For best performance, compress images before uploading. Recommended width for hero banners is 1920px.

Customization

Colors & fonts

Customize your website's color palette and typography from Website → Theme Settings.

  • Primary color — used for buttons, links, and highlights throughout your site.
  • Secondary color — used for accents, badges, and secondary UI elements.
  • Background & text — control the base colors for your site body.
  • Font family — choose from the available font options for headings and body text.

Click Save & Preview to see your changes before publishing. Click Publish to apply them to your live website.

Page sections

Each page on your website is built from sections — reusable content blocks like hero banners, feature lists, testimonials, image galleries, and call-to-action strips.

  • Go to Website → Pages and open any page to manage its sections.
  • Toggle sections on or off per page without deleting the section's content.
  • Some sections pull data automatically from your modules (e.g. Events section shows the latest events you've added).

The available sections depend on your active theme. Switching themes may reveal or hide different section types.

Logo & branding

Upload your institution's logo and favicon from Website → Theme Settings → Branding.

  • Logo — appears in the header and footer. Recommended: PNG with transparent background, height 60–80px.
  • Favicon — the small icon shown in browser tabs. Recommended: 32×32px PNG or ICO.
  • Institution tagline — a short line displayed below the logo on some themes.
Modules

Activating modules

Modules are the functional building blocks of your website — Admissions, Events, Courses, Faculty, Gallery, and more. Available modules depend on your subscription plan and institution type.

To activate a module, go to Dashboard → Modules, find the module you want, and toggle it on. Once active, the module appears in your sidebar and its data can be added to your website pages.

Deactivating a module hides it from your website and sidebar but does not delete its data. You can reactivate it at any time.

Admissions

The Admissions module lets prospective students submit enquiries or applications through your website. Submissions are collected in your dashboard under Admissions → Enquiries.

  • Customise the enquiry form fields from Admissions → Form Settings.
  • Set the admission status (Open / Closed) — when closed, the form is hidden from your website.
  • Export enquiries as a CSV from the enquiry list.

Events

The Events module lets you publish and manage institution events. Go to Events → Add Event to create a new event.

  • Add a title, date, venue, description, and banner image for each event.
  • Published events appear on your website's Events page and in the home page Events section.
  • Past events are automatically moved to an archive.

Faculty & departments

Manage your institution's faculty profiles and departments from the Faculty and Departments sections in your dashboard.

  • Add faculty with their name, designation, qualification, department, and profile photo.
  • Create departments and assign faculty members to them.
  • Each department can have its own dedicated page on your website.
  • Faculty profiles appear on the Faculty page and within their respective department pages.
Domain & Hosting

Your free subdomain

Every Scholix workspace comes with a free subdomain in the format yourname.scholix.io. This is active from the moment you complete onboarding and requires no DNS configuration.

Your subdomain is chosen during Step 1 of onboarding. To change it after setup, contact support@scholix.io.

Connecting a custom domain

To use your own domain (e.g. www.greenvalleycollege.edu.in), go to Settings → Domain in your dashboard and enter your domain name.

  1. Enter your custom domain in Settings → Domain.
  2. Log in to your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, BigRock, Namecheap).
  3. Add a CNAME record pointing your domain to cname.scholix.io.
  4. Return to your Scholix dashboard and click Verify Domain.
  5. DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. Your SSL certificate is provisioned automatically once verified.

Custom domain setup requires access to your domain registrar's DNS settings. If you need help, contact your registrar or reach out to support@scholix.io.

Users & Roles

Inviting team members

You can invite staff members to your workspace from Settings → Users → Invite User. Enter their email address and assign them a role.

  • Invited users receive a welcome email with login instructions.
  • Each user logs in at your institution's website URL (e.g. yourname.scholix.io/login).
  • You can remove or change a user's role at any time from the Users list.

Roles & permissions

Scholix has 11 built-in roles, each with different levels of access:

Admin Full access to all settings, content, users, and modules.
Content Editor Manages pages, announcements, gallery, and media. No access to settings.
Admission Officer Views and manages admissions enquiries and applications.
Faculty Updates their own profile, publishes department-related content.
HOD Manages department pages, faculty under their department.
