Uploading and customizing your website logo effectively requires attention to a few key details for optimal display and functionality.

Image Requirements and Preparation:

  • Use high-quality images in .jpg, .gif, or .png format
  • Start with a larger image for better scaling
  • For transparent backgrounds, use PNG files
  • Consider template-specific height restrictions (varies by template)
  • Ensure the logo contains your brand text if desired

Adding Your Logo:

  1. Navigate to the header editor
  2. Click the edit/pencil icon
  3. Select "+ Add Image"
  4. Choose to upload a new file or select from your library
  5. Adjust the logo height for both desktop and mobile displays
  6. Save your changes

Best Practices:

  • Set a proper page title before adding the logo (affects SEO and alt text)
  • Keep page title text in the backend even when using a logo
  • Note that the logo always links to your homepage
  • Consider mobile responsiveness when sizing your logo
  • Avoid using stock images as logos

Logo Customization Options:

  • Adjust position and size for desktop/mobile views
  • Modify container width (template-dependent)
  • Set maximum heights based on template restrictions
  • Control logo visibility across different screen sizes

To remove a logo:

  1. Access the header editor
  2. Click the pencil icon
  3. Select "Remove" or the trash can icon
  4. Save changes to revert to displaying the page title

Remember: Your logo serves as a crucial brand element and navigation tool, automatically linking back to your homepage when clicked.
