Logos serve as a unique visual identity for your brand. Here's how to add and manage your logo on your site:

Before Adding a Logo

  1. Set your site title first:
  • It creates alt text for the logo
  • Helps with SEO indexing
  • Appears in browser tabs
  • Acts as fallback text

Logo Requirements

  • Use high-resolution images to prevent pixelation
  • Accepted formats: .jpg, .gif, or .png
  • Recommended: PNG with transparent background
  • Custom logos only (no stock images)

Adding Your Logo

From Computer:

  1. Click "Edit" in top-left corner
  2. Select "Edit Site Header"
  3. Click the pencil icon
  4. Choose "+ Add" under Logo Image
  5. Upload file or select from library
  6. Adjust size using sliders
  7. Save changes

From Mobile App:

  1. Tap More > Design > Logo and Title
  2. Select "Logo"
  3. Choose image source
  4. Upload and save

Customizing Display

Desktop View:

  • Adjust position in header
  • Modify size constraints
  • Set maximum height

Mobile View:

  • Configure separate mobile layout
  • Set specific mobile dimensions
  • Ensure responsive design

Important Notes:

  • Logo clicks always redirect to homepage
  • Cannot display both logo and site title simultaneously
  • Logo text isn't searchable; maintain site title for SEO
  • Template-specific size limits may apply
  • Backup site title appears when logo is removed

To Remove Logo:

  1. Navigate to header settings
  2. Click pencil icon
  3. Select delete option
  4. Save changes

Your site title will automatically reappear once the logo is removed.
