Having an eye-catching banner can really make your Workvivo platform pop! It's also great real-estate to promote your organization's vision and mission statement, values, ongoing initiatives or an upcoming event for example.
The banner will also appear at the top of the hamburger menu on mobile at a smaller scale but it helps tie in your organization's branding nicely.

Top Tips when designing your banner:
- To see what a banner image will look like, you can upload it to any space. Viewing a banner from within the space will appear the same as if it were the main banner on desktop
- Go to Space Edit Space Click on the Banner, click Upload Save
- The top and bottom of the banner will be hidden behind the nav bar and activity feed so where possible:
- Avoid images of people, their faces could be cropped on different size screens
- Minimise the use of text as this can also be cropped
