- What is a Welcome Splash Page?

A welcome splash page is a full-screen image that viewers first see when visiting your Store. The splash page appears on the screen for a few seconds and gives visitors an incredible first impression of your photography, and you can also choose to include your logo or name in text to appear in the centre of your splash page. We recommend choosing one of your most impressive images, or an image that perfectly compliments your brand and/ or photography. 

- Adding a Welcome Splash Page to your Store

You can upload an image for your welcome splash page from the ‘Theme and Design’ section of the Store Settings Dashboard under the ‘Add a Splash Intro Page’. Here, click the toggle switch to green and you will see a number of options appear under ‘Branding’:

• Splash image only - select this option to upload your welcome splash image

• Use main logo - this option will only appear if you have already uploaded a logo to your Store. Select this option if you wish to include the logo that appears throughout your Store on your welcome splash page

• Use custom logo - if you want to use a custom logo that is different to the logo that appears throughout your Store select this option and upload your logo.

Use your name - selecting this option will display your name in the centre of your welcome splash page and you can choose to display your name in either black or white text under the ‘Name Color’ option.

To allow your image to look great on all types of screens, we suggest uploading a high-resolution image for your splash image, anything above 1920x1280px is optimal. For a fast loading time, a small file size is better for performance and anything below 500kb will load faster

If your image is a photograph, the image file should be uploaded as a JPEG file as this is the most common file type for digital photos. If your splash image is a large logo, graphic or diagram, it should be uploaded as a PNG file. You can format and resize your files to fit the above recommendations using image editing programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom, or free online resources such as PicResize.Once your files have been uploaded, you’ll see the file displayed under ‘Current File’ and the option ‘Upload a Different File’ underneath should you wish to replace the current file with a different image or logo. We recommend trying out different images and combinations of logos as well as text to see what works for your welcome splash page.

Finally, we also have a Splash Page troubleshooting guide available in our Help Centre should you encounter any problems. Just head here.
