A quick guide to customize the look and feel of your support portal:
You can customize your portal to reflect your theme and give your users a memorable customer experience with Freshdesk. You can put up your logo and favicon and paint your self-service portal in your brand colors. If you're on the Pro plan or higher, you can also perform CSS customizations and the Enterprise plan lets you customize every inch of your support portal.
Configuring the branding of your portal:
Under the Branding tab, you can customize the following for your portal:
- Logo: To stay on brand and make your portal recognizable for customers, you can upload your company’s logo. The logo of your support portal appears on the top fold near your portal's name and will be the first thing that is visible to your customers. We recommend a resolution of at least 60X60 and a 1:1 aspect ratio for your logo so that it is displayed correctly.
- Favicon: Favicon is the image that will be displayed on your user’s browser tab. By uploading your desired favicon, you can make it easy for customers to recognize your webpage. We recommend a resolution of at least 60X60 and a 1:1 aspect ratio for your favicon so that it is displayed correctly.
- Home page URL: This is the email address on which customers can reach out to you for any help. The email address provided will be displayed at the bottom of your portal.
- Helpdesk Phone: You can enter the phone number of your company’s support helpline here to make it easy for customers to contact you. This number will be displayed at the bottom of your portal.
