Adding Branding To Your PhotoBiz Website
Setting up Global Branding for your PhotoBiz Website
You can easily add your company branding to your PhotoBiz account (Website, Client Galleries, & Studio Management) via the GLOBAL BRANDING option in the left side menu. This will apply the same global branding (Logo, Favicon, Compact Logo, Accent Color, and Company Information) across your entire account. If you prefer to override the Global Branding setting with custom branding for your website, this guide walks you through the steps of setting this up.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on the WEBSITE option in the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on the SETTINGS option at the top of your Website control panel.
STEP THREE
Click on the BRANDING option to find the BRANDING PREFERENCE option for AUTO or CUSTOM.
- AUTO will use the GLOBAL BRANDING settings controlled by the BRANDING option in the left side menu and applies to the Website, Client Galleries, and Studio Management tools.
- CUSTOM will allow you to use specific branding options that will only apply to your website.
UPLOAD A CUSTOM WEBSITE LOGO
Click and select the CUSTOM radio button to enable the ability to upload a CUSTOM LOGO file specifically for your website.
From here, you can drag and drop your logo file into the gray box under the LOGO UPLOAD heading or click where it says "add files" to navigate it to it via your File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
PRO TIP: Keep in mind that our system takes any file you upload as-is, and so if you wish to ensure you are maximizing the use of the space allotted to your logo by your template, we recommend uploading a file where the white space is cropped as close to the actual content of the image as possible.
UPLOAD A CUSTOM WEBSITE FAVICON
A favicon is a small (usually 16×16) pixel icon that serves as an important branding element for your website. Favicons are found next to anything that identifies your website. This includes bookmarks, tabs, toolbar apps, history results, and search bars.
In order to upload your favicon, you will need to make sure that your favicon file is a .ico file. You can create a .ico file in popular graphics editing software or a number of websites to convert a normal image to a .ico file for free are available on the internet.
Once you have your .ico file, under LOGO UPLOAD, you will see the FAVICON UPLOAD area. Here, you can drag & drop your .ico file or click the "add files" button to navigate to it in your File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
Once you've uploaded your favicon, it will be available on the control panel as well the browser tab that you're viewing the website on.
UPLOADING A CUSTOM COMPACT LOGO
The Compact Logo is a version of the logo that you can upload specifically for display on a mobile device. This is particularly useful if you have a logo that is especially wide, as a wide logo might appear smaller than you'd like on a mobile phone in order to fit within the space. The Compact Logo will allow you to better take advantage of the different screen orientation on those smaller devices.
After you've added any of your custom options to your website branding, simply click on the SAVE CHANGES button to apply them to your website and override your global branding settings.
