How to Add Your Logo and Branding

This guide shows you how to add your business logo and update your website's branding in WordPress.

Step 1: Access Your WordPress Dashboard

Log into your Web60 account and click "Access WordPress" for your website. This opens your WordPress dashboard - the control panel where you manage your site.

Step 2: Navigate to the Customiser

From your WordPress dashboard, click "Appearance" in the left menu, then select "Customise". This opens the WordPress Customiser, where you can change how your site looks.

Step 3: Find the Logo Settings

Look for one of these options in the Customiser menu:

"Site Identity"
"Header"
"Logo"
"Branding"

The exact name depends on your theme. Click on whichever option you see.

Step 4: Upload Your Logo

Click "Select Logo" or "Change Image". You'll see three options:

Upload Files: Choose this to upload a new logo from your computer
Media Library: Select from images already on your website
Select: Click this after choosing your image

For best results, use a PNG file with a transparent background. Make sure your logo is clear and not too large (under 1MB file size).

Step 5: Adjust Logo Size and Position

Most themes let you resize your logo. Look for sliders or number boxes to adjust:

Width and height
Logo position (left, centre, right)
Spacing around the logo

Preview your changes in the live preview window on the right.

Step 6: Update Site Title and Tagline

While you're in Site Identity, update:

Site Title: Your business name
Tagline: A short description of what you do

Some themes show these alongside your logo. Others hide them when you add a logo.

Step 7: Customise Colours and Fonts

Look for "Colors" or "Typography" sections in the Customiser to match your brand:

Change header background colour
Update link colours
Modify font styles
Adjust button colours

Step 8: Publish Your Changes

Click "Publish" at the top of the Customiser to save all changes. Your logo and branding updates will appear on your live website immediately.

Alternative Method: Theme-Specific Options

Some themes have their own customisation panels. Check under "Appearance" for options like:

"Theme Options"
"Theme Settings"
Your theme's name (e.g., "Astra Options")

These may offer additional branding controls beyond the standard WordPress Customiser.

If you're still stuck, contact Web60 support through your account dashboard. Include details about your theme name and what specific branding changes you're trying to make.

FAQ

Q: What size should my logo be?

A: Most themes work well with logos between 200-400 pixels wide and 50-150 pixels tall. Upload a larger version and resize it in WordPress for best quality.

Q: Why does my logo look blurry?

A: Your logo file may be too small or low quality. Use a high-resolution PNG or SVG file for crisp display on all devices.

Q: Can I add a logo if my theme doesn't have logo options?

A: Yes, but you'll need to edit your theme files or install a plugin. Contact support for guidance on theme-specific solutions.

Q: My logo appears too big on mobile phones. How do I fix this?

A: Check your theme's responsive settings in the Customiser. Many themes let you set different logo sizes for mobile devices.

Q: Can I use different logos on different pages?

A: Most themes use one logo across the entire site. You'd need a plugin or custom code to show different logos on different pages.

Q: What's the difference between PNG and JPG for logos?

A: PNG files support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for logos. JPG files have backgrounds and are better for photographs.

Q: How do I remove the site title after adding a logo?

A: In the Customiser under Site Identity, look for an option to "Display Site Title" and turn it off. Some themes hide this automatically when you add a logo.
