Footer Banner

The Footer Banner is a CSS background. The special feature of this is that the background stretches to fit different display sizes. This background in the footer must be set up with safety zones.

To customize the footer, please go to “Design” and from there to the submenu “Look and Feel”. Now select “Footer” on the left.

Footer Background Fill

The image should be in the 40:7 format.

Here is another example of how the banners change in the background.

Branding

In the next submenu under the Look & Feel category, we take care of the Branding for your member area.

Under Page Title, you can enter a title that appears as the Browser Tab and is also displayed under the loading symbol.

Under Brand Media, you upload your Logo or special images—from your own files, the Mentorcloud, or our license-free images.

We start with the logo for the Navigation Bar. There are two fields for this. If your menu is displayed on the left side, you should also upload a logo in the right field. This will then be displayed when a user collapses the menu bar.

This is what the expanded menu bar looks like.

This is how the menu bar is displayed when the user collapses it.

Here you can upload a Favicon.

This is the Browser Tab Symbol and looks like this in the Mentortools Academy, for example:

The Link Preview Image is displayed when the link to your member area is shared on social media.

Under Loading Spinner, you adjust the color of the spinner. Choose here whether a custom Favicon (Browser Tab Symbol) is displayed in the loading spinner.
