Add Site Branding

You can add a site logo, shown in the upper left, as well as a default full-width banner for your Digital Commons Exhibits (DCX) site.

To add your logo and default site banner:

1. Select Settings in the admin sidebar and then select Site settings. 
    
2. Select Choose an Image to add an image for your logo (recommended dimensions: 256 x 256 pixels) and also for your banner (recommended dimensions: 1920 x 400 pixels). You may choose a favicon for the browser tab as well (16 x 16 pixels recommended).  
   
3. When done, publish the changes by clicking Save.

Once you’ve published your site banner, you can view the live site and try adjusting the size of your browser to see if it is responding as desired. To designate a focal point for the banner image after it's uploaded, select the three-dot Actions menu next to the image and choose Edit this image (the menu will appear on the page pictured above once an image has been uploaded). See Upload or Search for Images in DCX for more about uploading and editing images.

Edit Site Title and Landing Page

To modify your site title and landing page:

1. Select Pages in the administrator sidebar and select the name of your site at the top of the menu. 
   
2. Select the three-dot Actions menu next to your site's name, then select Edit to reach the landing page settings.
3. Fill in the landing page settings for your site: 
   
   • The Title field, which is required, controls the title of the site as it will be listed in the administrative interface.
   • Banner text is optional, though recommended if a title isn’t present in the banner image or logo. Select existing text to display the floating toolbar (click the pin icon to keep the toolbar at the top of the text area). Banner text supports bold, italic, HTML, and line breaks.
   • A Banner image is optional. If you don’t add a banner here, the landing page will show the default banner from the site settings. To designate a focal point for the banner image after it's uploaded, select the three-dot Actions menu next to the image and choose Edit this image. See Upload or Search for Images in DCX for more about uploading and editing images.
   • The Body field allows you to enter a description that will appear in the banner. Select existing text to display the floating toolbar, which you can use to include formatting, links, or HTML. To keep the toolbar at the top of the text area while you work, select the pin icon. Select it again to unpin the toolbar. You can insert links using the toolbar or by typing a / (forward slash) and selecting Link.

In addition to the above settings, you can use the Max collections featured setting to enter how many collections (if any) you’d like to feature at the top of the landing page. These will appear in a “Featured Exhibits” section. You may also adjust the Max collections all setting to change the number of total collections showing on the landing page under the “All Exhibits” heading.

When done, select the arrow next to Save draft to expand the menu, then select Publish.

About and Contact Pages

Your DCX site comes with an About page and a Contact page, both of which are visible in the site navigation menu by default.

You can customize these pages with text and other elements such as images or attachments. A quick way to edit these pages is to click the gears icon in the lower right of each page when viewing the front end, then select Edit this page.

You can also reach the edit tools by clicking Pages in the admin sidebar and locating the “About” and “Contact” pages in the list of site contents.
