Why Branding Matters on Your Auction Page
A clear, well-placed logo or banner gives your auction page a professional, trustworthy look. It reinforces your organization’s identity, builds donor confidence, and helps your event stand out. This is one of the simplest and most effective design upgrades you can make.
Step 1: Log In to Your Dashboard
- Log in to your event dashboard.
- Select the auction event you want to customize.
- Click on “Event Settings” or “Page Design” in the navigation menu.
Step 2: Locate the Logo and Banner Section
- Scroll to the “Branding” or “Header Images” area.
- You’ll see separate upload fields for:
- Logo Image (appears at the top or corner of the page).
- Banner Image (displays prominently across the top of your auction page).
Step 3: Add Your Logo or Banner
- Click “Upload Image.”
- Select your logo or banner file from your computer.
- Preview the image to make sure it fits correctly.
- Click “Save” or “Update.”
Recommended Sizes:

Step 4: Remove or Replace an Existing Image
- Go back to the Logo or Banner section.
- Click “Remove” or the trash icon.
- Confirm your choice.
- (Optional) Upload a new image to replace it.
Pro Tip: If you remove both the logo and banner, the page will default to a simple text header.

- Check both desktop and mobile views for proper alignment and sizing.
- Adjust or re-upload if needed.
