Set Your Website Name, Logo, and Brand Identity

Create a clear public identity using your photographer name, optional logo, colors, typography, and navigation labels.

What you’ll accomplish

You will create a consistent website header that identifies you without competing with your photographs.

1

Open Website identity

Open My Website, choose Home, and expand Website identity in the left panel.

Enter the public photographer or studio name exactly as you want visitors to see it.

2

Add an optional logo

Upload a clean logo with enough contrast for the chosen header. A transparent PNG works well for most marks.

Preview the result at desktop and mobile sizes. If the logo becomes unreadable when small, use the text identity instead.

3

Choose supporting typography and colors

Open Template controls to choose the type and color treatment. Use one strong display choice and a highly readable body treatment.

Check text over photographs as well as text on the page background.

4

Keep navigation labels short

Use familiar labels such as Home, About, Portfolios, Stories, and Contact. Short labels fit more reliably on phones.

Your identity and navigation should make the site understandable within a few seconds.

5

Save and review the complete header

Save the draft, open Preview, and visit more than one page. Confirm that the name, logo, navigation, and colors remain consistent.
