Overview
Having a professional logo (as opposed to having your business name displayed in plain text in your site header) can be extremely beneficial in gaining traction and providing your customers with a sense of ease and the ability to trust you and your brand.
If you don't have a logo currently you might be surprised at how easy it can be to create one using free or inexpensive tools which are available online. Alternatively, you can look for a designer who can create a logo for you, which you may prefer if you're not comfortable with doing this yourself (although some of these tools are surprisingly user-friendly).
Some examples:
- Canva - https://www.canva.com/
- Hatchful - https://hatchful.shopify.com
- Ucraft - http://next.ucraft.com/
Note: We recommend that you keep your logo images small for use on your site, and you should either upload them as JPG or PNG images depending on whether you wish to have the background of the image transparent or not. If you've had your logo created professionally, they may provide you with a vector file in addition to JPG or PNG. This is suitable for use on business cards or other printed materials, but shouldn't be uploaded to your site.
Recommended logo image sizes:
Main logo - 250x100px or smaller
Scrolling/Mobile logo - 150x50px or smaller
Social Media default image - exactly 600x315px
Once your logo is ready, you can upload it to your website. Let's go over the process:
- Log in to your Site Manager and click on the tab labeled Header and Footer.
- Make sure you are on the Header tab.
- Under Type of Content, make sure Logo is selected.
- Under Type of Logo, select Image.
- Next, click on the Choose File button.
- Find the logo you want to use and open it.
- Click Save and your logo will be applied to your website.
Using The Standard Editor
- Log in to your Site Manager and click on the tab labeled Header and Footer.
- Make sure you are on the Header tab.
- Under Type of Content, make sure Standard Editor is selected.
