This article offers an overview of configuration options for the header and footer portions of your website. Detailed instructions about how to make these changes may be in other articles, but here we'll explore the customization options.
Header Options
Customize Logo
To add or change your logo, you'll go to Settings and then Branding. Here you can set a custom logo and there's also an option to not display the site title. If your logo file already contains the name of your organization, you may need to adjust the width to make sure that name is readable for the logo. Be sure to save your changes when you're done making edits.

The Call to Action button is visually different than other menu items, making it excellent for urging visitors to take action. Think of this option for donations, scheduling school visits, or registering for your ministry service. The Call to Action button is configured in Settings, then Navigation.
