File Type – We can only upload files up to 5 megabytes (MB) in size and only allow certain file types, which are; jpg, jpeg, jpe, png.

2 Here is where you can select your chosen brand colour. If you have a Hex Code for your colour you can add it here. Otherwise you can move the ‘crosshair’ ‘+’ (see 2.1) and/or the colour slider (see 2.2)
2.1 Select the ‘crosshair’ ‘+’ by clicking and holding down your left mouse button* and dragging the ‘crosshair’ to your desired colour
2.2 By clicking and holding down your left mouse* button and dragging the ‘slider’ you can change the depth of the shade of your chosen colour.
*or secondary mouse button for those who are left handed, or have other methods for accessibility
Please note: Please do think about the colour that you select as some people may have visual impairments that make it difficult if colours are too pale.
3 We offer two options for the section under your banner image that shows your logo and the icons for the categories you selected. You can choose between a ‘Light’ or ‘Dark’ option. The ‘Dark’ option is best if your logo is all white or a much lighter colour. Any other coloured or dark logos look best displayed on the ‘Light’ option – However the choice is yours! (Please see examples below 3.1 & 3.2)
4 Please remember to click ‘Save’ after you make any changes, or these will be lost
Examples:

We thought you might like some of these guides!
We are committed to making everything we do as accessible as possible, to as many people as possible. Our team always listens to feedback and if it is something that we can do, we will. Sometimes we are able to make changes immediately, at other times it may be a 'bigger' piece of Tech development, or we may need to do a piece of research first and it may take a little longer, and then there will be times when it is something that we can't do and for that we apologise.
Please Note Regarding Grammar & Accessibility:
Feedback from those with different abilities suggests that the use of punctuation can help them with reading and understanding. Therefore, our content and layout may not always be grammatically correct, we are doing this purposefully - working towards making it accessible for all.
