Common Questions

Q: Can I change my ABN after setting it up?
A: No, the ABN is locked after initial setup for legal and tax compliance. Contact support if you need to change it due to business restructuring.

Q: What image formats are supported?
A: Logos support SVG and PNG. Hero images support JPG, PNG, and WebP formats.

Q: What happens if my button color is "Unsuitable"?
A: Unsuitable colors have poor contrast ratios and may be hard to read. Use the "Magic Match Closest" button to find the nearest accessible color that maintains your brand identity.

Q: Do I need to set up typography?
