Now, we'll delve into personalizing its appearance to truly reflect your brand's identity and attract more customers. Let's make your online presence as unique as your cuisine!

1. Uploading Your Restaurant's Logo and Favicon: Establishing Your Visual Identity

Your logo and favicon are key elements in establishing your brand's visual identity online. Here’s how to upload them to your Restorani.hr website:

• Logo:

  1. Navigate to the "Website" section of your dashboard.
  2. Look for an option like "Logo Upload" or "Branding Settings."
  3. Click on the "Upload Logo" button.
  4. Select your logo file from your computer. We recommend using a high-quality PNG file with a transparent background for the best results.
  5. Once uploaded, your logo will typically appear in the header of your website on every page.

• Favicon:

  1. In the same "Branding Settings" area, you should find an option for "Favicon Upload."
  2. A favicon is a small icon that appears in the browser tab next to your website's title.
  3. Click on the "Upload Favicon" button.
  4. Select your favicon file. Favicons are usually small images in .ico or .png format (often around 16x16 or 32x32 pixels).
  5. After uploading, the favicon will enhance your website's visibility in browser tabs and bookmarks.

2. Choosing Your Brand Colors and Fonts: Setting the Mood and Style

Selecting the right colors and fonts plays a crucial role in conveying your restaurant's mood and style online. Here's how to customize them on Restorani.hr:

• Colors:

  1. Within the "Website" customization options, look for a section related to "Colors" or "Theme Colors."
  2. You'll typically have options to choose primary and secondary colors.
  3. Primary Color: This is often used for key elements like buttons, links, and highlights. Choose a color that represents your brand's core identity.
  4. Secondary Color: This can be used for accents and to complement your primary color.
  5. Most platforms provide a color picker tool where you can select colors visually or by entering their HEX color codes. Ensure your color choices are consistent with your existing branding.

• Fonts:

  1. In the "Website" customization settings, find the "Fonts" or "Typography" section.
  2. You'll usually have dropdown menus to select fonts for your Headings and Body Text.
  3. Choose fonts that are easy to read and reflect your restaurant's personality. For example, a modern bistro might opt for a clean, sans-serif font, while a traditional tavern might choose a more classic, serif font.
  4. Preview how the fonts look on your website before finalizing your choices.

3. Customizing Homepage Sections and Layout: Crafting Your First Impression

Your homepage is often the first page visitors see, so it's important to make it engaging and informative. Restorani.hr allows you to customize various sections:

1. Navigate to the "Website" customization area and look for options to manage "Homepage Sections" or "Layout."
