Banner

Some site designs feature a banner; a large image across the top of the page. For example, the Crimson Royale design:


Sandvox allows you to replace the banner with one of your own choosing.

To set the banner image of a site:

  1. Open the Site Inspector.
  2. Go to the Media tab.
  3. Drag your new banner image to the box labeled "Banner." This can be from the Media Browser, the Finder, or another application.

Sizing

Banner images can be a maximum of 800 pixels wide and 300 pixels high.


However, the actual space available for the banner varies from design to design:

Design Banner Width Banner Height
Wall 776 200
Serengeti 767 200
No Parking Anytime 749 144 (275 on the home page)
Night Breeze 764 300
Imagine 766 200
Glass Box 749 134 (265 on the home page
Earth & Sky 760 160
Dolphin Dance 760 200
Crimson Royale 738 Varies with size of Site Title
Clockwork 760 200
Cathedral 749 144 (265 on the home page)

Sandvox will attempt to fit your supplied banner image to this size as well as it can. The image will be centered horizontally, and then aligned at the top; the excess is cropped. If this is not to your satisfaction, try cropping the image (using an application such as Preview) to a more appropriate size and use that.

Banner Image Sources

Of course, you can also use any photos you might have taken - just be sure to crop them appropriately first.
