Showcase: Homepage Highlights


We get so inspired working with our users every day and seeing the amazing ways they organize their online world. We’ve highlighted a few sites and tips below. We think you’ll love them and leave feeling inspired.
Add a Custom Logo
Adding a custom logo is an easy way to noticeably improve the look of your site. Brendan Flynn, a Wikispaces Private Label customer from Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School, has helped teachers across his district create wikis. He shared his experience with us: “When it comes to designing logos, less is more. I always tell students to design logos first in just black and white. Take color out of the equation.”
Banner-like logos – i.e. narrow logos that span the top of the wiki – are a great way to go. You can take full advantage of the space at the top of your page. You may also want to consider adding a transparent background to your logo as Brendan has. This way, your logo can blend in with your existing background. There’s plenty of software out there to do it, but two free and easy ones are Google Drawings and Pixlr.
