NEW: Listing Header & Logo
Since the end of October 2015, you've been able to add a large photo across the top of your listing page with a logo. Of course, this gives your page much more impact. You can see this below:
So how do you do this?
You add the images in the same way that you added all your other images - click on the "Add media" link. As soon as you have done this, you be able to allocate where the image must be used - and for these images you need to click on the Cover or Logo buttons:
A few important guidelines:
Cover image:
- It must be high quality and compelling photo. Putting something up that is mediocre can turn people off immediately, and they just won't bother to read further or click any links on your page.
- The photo you upload must be at least 900 pixels wide otherwise it's going to look awful on your page because small photos cannot be enlarged.
- You must select a photo that works as a narrow, horizontal image because it is going to be cropped.
- You must select a logo that has a square format, or that you can resize to a square format. Otherwise it will be cropped.
- Don't use amateur logos unless they are really good. You may be proud of it but first impressions count, and you could put off many readers who know more about graphics than you do.
- Remember that while photos are saved as JPG and PNG24 files, graphics (especially when there are flat colours and whites) need to be saved as GIF and PNG8 files.
And lastly... experiment! Those trash cans in the image above should be reminder that it's very easy to correct bad choices.
