      Adding a Banner Image to Your Website

      Here's how to add a banner image to your website.

      Fish Tank Contents Header-1

      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.

      Banner Image best practice

      • 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)
