The PhotoBiz Website builder includes a footer section that will display on any page of your website unless you disable it in the page settings. The footer also includes the Badges block which allows you to showcase any affiliations, organizations, awards, or other items you want to have a graphic for on the footer of your website. This guide will walk you through how to use the badges block in your footer.
Pro Tip: For the best results, we recommend sizing your badges to 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall with transparent PNG format.
