Here's how to add a banner image to your website.
Image Size
It is highly recommenced that you do not use an image bigger than 2MB on your website. Using a lager image will cause your website load speed to be significantly slower.
How to add a banner image
Your banner image is the image that displays across the main front of your website:
To add your banner image to your Homepage, click through Website > Web Content, select the homepage then hit Images.
This will allow you to upload to the Banner Image section by hitting select Image.
You can then upload and select the banner image you wish to use. Please Note: On Oyster there is only space for a single Banner image.

The colour is important - ensure your website is eye catching and pops on the screen with vibrant colours
-
However, make sure the colours and content of our banner image match your brand colours and values
-
Ensure your banner image colours don't clash with your menu text and logo colours - otherwise, they will become impossible to see on screen! (Example - Don't have a light-coloured banner if your logo and menu items are white)
