Upload your logo image in .jpg, .gif, or .png format to replace the site title in your header. Here's how to add a professional logo to your site:

Before Adding Your Logo:

  1. Set your site title first (for SEO and alt text)
  2. Prepare your logo image:
    • Use recommended dimensions for your template
    • Ensure high resolution to prevent pixelation
    • Create transparent background (use .png if needed)

Adding Your Logo:

  1. Click "Edit" in the top-left corner
  2. Hover over the header and select "Edit Site Header"
  3. Click your site title/current logo
  4. Click the pencil icon
  5. Upload your logo by selecting "Upload File" or choose from library

Customizing Logo Display:

  • Adjust logo height using sliders
  • Set different sizes for desktop and mobile views
  • Position logo based on template options
  • Maximum heights vary by template

Best Practices:

  • Include text in logo image file (can't display both logo and site title)
  • Keep site title in settings for SEO
  • Use high-quality images to maintain clarity
  • Consider mobile display when sizing

Important Notes:

  • Logo always links to homepage
  • Removing logo restores site title display
  • Supported formats: .jpg, .gif, .png
  • Custom logo redirects require advanced code modifications

For optimal results, ensure your logo matches your brand identity while maintaining clear visibility across all devices and screen sizes.

Template-Specific Size Limits:

  • Adirondack/Avenue: 100px max height
  • Bedford/Aviator: 65px max height
  • Other templates: Variable maximums (check template guidelines)

Remember to save changes after making adjustments, and preview your site on multiple devices to ensure proper display.
