How Can We Help With Social Media Branding?
Each social media page recommends specific sizing for uploaded images, profile pictures and cover photos.
Particular attention should be paid to Facebook cover images or videos and uploading the wrong size can make your page look very amateur at best. The cover image or video is the first thing your visitors will see on your page so getting this right is essential.
We can help with this by providing an editing service with Photoshop or creating a cover from scratch that will best promote your business in an engaging way.
