Brand Advantage

Host certificates on your custom domain

TRUE hosts your digital certificates on your own domain. Not badges.vendor.com. Not platform.io/your-org. Your domain. Your brand. Your trust.

The domain problem nobody talks about

Most credential platforms host certificates on their domain. When recipients share credentials, they share someone else's URL.

Other Platforms

Why custom domains matter

Brand trust

A diploma from credentials.stanford.edu carries different weight than badges.vendor.com/stanford. Recipients trust credentials from recognizable domains.

Professional appearance

Credentials appear in email signatures, LinkedIn profiles, CVs. The URL appears everywhere. Make it your brand, not a vendor you pay.

SEO Value

Every credential share creates a link. When that URL is your domain, link equity flows to you and improves your search rankings. Don't give that to vendors.

Verification traffic

When employers verify credentials, they visit the URL. With custom domains, that traffic comes to your site. Track it. Control the experience.

Brand consistency

Your website, emails, marketing all use your domain. Why should credentials be different? Maintain consistency across every touchpoint.

Independence

Your credentials work on your infrastructure. No dependency on vendor brand recognition. If you change platforms, your URLs stay the same.

Use cases

Universities

accredible.com/credentials/...
diplomas.universityofxyz.edu/...

Diplomas carry institutional weight. The URL should reflect that when alumni share on LinkedIn.

Licensing boards

credly.com/badges/state-board/...
verify.statemedicalboard.gov/...

Professional licenses need official domains that signal authority. Vendor domains don't cut it.

Corporate training

certifier.io/acme-corp/...
certifications.acme.com/...

Training credentials on your domain drive employer brand awareness and link back to you.

Certification bodies

badges.credly.com/assoc-name/...
certify.associationname.org/...

Your organization stands behind the certification. The URL should reflect that authority.

Membership organizations

vendor.com/memberships/...
members.professionalgroup.org/...

Membership credentials represent belonging to your community. Make affiliation clear.

Healthcare training

platform.io/hospital/...
training.hospitalname.org/...

Healthcare credentials need trust signals. Your domain provides them.
