Adding a logo to a website is a crucial step in establishing your brand identity. Here's a complete guide on how to do it effectively:

Set Up Your Site Title First

  1. Replace the default title text with your site name
  2. This creates proper alt text for your logo
  3. Helps with SEO and browser tab display

Logo Image Requirements

  • Accepted formats: .jpg, .gif, or .png
  • Use larger images to avoid pixelation
  • Consider transparent backgrounds (.png format)
  • Match desired display height
  • Stock images are not permitted

Customizing Logo Display

  • Adjust position and size for both desktop and mobile
  • Consider template-specific height/width limitations
  • Logo always links to homepage
  • Cannot display both logo and site title simultaneously

Removing Your Logo

Best Practices
