Thanks for this resource

Would it be possible to enhance the way photos are displayed? Currently, they appear very small, and the layout only allows for one section. If there were two sections, the photos could be larger and more impactful.

Right now, the small size and low quality defeat the purpose of this functionality, and it doesn’t feel very modern. We hope you can help us improve this experience.

Additionally, would it be possible to allow customization of fonts? This would help us align the design with our branding and make the overall experience more engaging.

Hi ​@LGAR 

For the images

Right now, you can upload any image and use the arrows to move it up or down in the layout — this gives some control over placement. However, image size is fixed, with a recommended dimension of 800x200 pixels and 5MB max. 
 



This is a great suggestion however,  I’d recommend commenting or upvoting these two related product ideas:

These ideas are already on our radar, and your input will help the product team prioritize updates!

 

For the fonts:


You can customize fonts by navigating to the design icon on the top left hand corner. From there the range of fonts available to you will populate in the drop down menu on the right hand side.
