=Overview=
As part of the implementation process, SmartSimple or its partners typically configure the look and feel of your system for you. If you have '''Global Administrator''' privileges, you can change the look and feel of your system at any time. Here is how you upload logos and change the system colors to align your system with your brand.

=Configuration - Essentials=
==Logo==
You can upload a logo that will appear in the header for all users. This logo appears at the top left of all screens. Typically, people upload their organization’s logo, unless they have created a special logo for their system. If you don’t have a logo, you can enter text.

This usually involves resizing the chosen image and saving it as optimized in photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop. For example, if you upload a 16MB image it will take several seconds to download and display plus it will use up more of your client’s data. Conversely the same Image could be saved in JPG format at medium compression and its file size will be less than 0.1MB which will load instantly with no discernible difference to the look and feel. Generally, files should be saved in JPG or PNG format and make use of compression options. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG/JPEG) is a lossy format best for photos such as an image of people or a landscape. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a lossless format that supports transparency and is best suited for logos and graphics. ==Tip: Sourcing imagery==Don’t have photos to use in your SmartSimple system? Here are some websites that offer copyright free stock photos for commercial use. Find the images you want, crop and size the images then upload them into SmartSimple. https://unsplash.com/ https://gratisography.com/ https://morguefile.com/ https://pixabay.com/ https://www.stockvault.net/ https://www.pexels.com/ https://picjumbo.com/ https://www.rawpixel.com/ https://www.reshot.com/  You may also want to check out the following paid stock photo sites. https://www.iStockphoto.com https://www.Shutterstock.com  For free icons https://www.flaticon.com/
