2. Click BRANDING in the top navigation.
3. Select the correct Location/Experience (top-left dropdown).
4. In the left menu, confirm you’re on Branding Settings.

A) Choose Your Layout

2) Select a Layout Style

1. Under Layout, choose how your experience will be displayed to visitors.
2. Select one of the available layout options:
   • Banner + card
   • Split image + content
   • Full bleed overlay
3. Choose the layout that best fits your brand and keeps content easy to read on mobile.

Best practice tips

• Prioritize readability over design complexity.
• Preview the layout on mobile before publishing.

B) Upload Your Images

3) Add Your Logo Image

1. Under Logo Image, drag-and-drop your logo file or click the upload area.
2. Use a clean logo file. PNG is recommended, ideally with a transparent background.

Best practice tips

• Keep the logo simple and readable on mobile.
• Horizontal logos often work best.
• Avoid fine details that may be hard to see on smaller screens.

4) Add Your Background Image

1. Under Background Image, drag-and-drop or click to upload.
2. Choose an image that will not compete with your text and buttons.

Best practice tips

• Avoid busy photos behind text.
• Slightly darker or softer images usually work best.
• Make sure text remains highly readable on top of the image.

C) Set Your Brand Colors

5) Background Color

1. Go to Colors → Background.
2. Paste your HEX color or use the color picker.
3. This sets the main background of the experience.

6) Accent Color

1. Enter your brand accent color using HEX or the color picker.
2. This is used for highlights and interface accents.

7) Button Background Color

1. Set the button fill color.
2. Choose a high-contrast color that stands out clearly.

Quick rule: The button should visually pop while maintaining strong readability.

D) Set Text + Card Colors

8) Heading Text Color

Choose a readable color for supporting text inside the cards.

E) (Optional) Upload Custom Fonts

If you don’t have licensed brand fonts, it’s perfectly fine to use the system defaults for better performance and compatibility.

(This takes users to the Cards Page.)
