Customise Beer Engine website appearance
The Beer Engine site customisation page can be found on your Beer Engine Site at /admin_appearance.php - for example for this site https://beerengine.camra.org.uk/admin_appearance.php
It provides the means of selecting the overall colour scheme from the permitted CAMRA palette and allowing it to be applied to the header, menu and footer areas.
The colour of the CAMRA logo and header text can be specified. The customisation supports the selection of a background image and / or a branch logo if desired.
The main banner layout options are:
- The default branch logo as defined by the brand guidelines e.g. https://westnorfolk.camra.org.uk/
- A background photo e.g. https://www.halton.camra.org.uk/
- A custom branch logo e.g. as seen here https://maidenheadbeerfest.camra.org.uk/ and https://www.eha.camra.org.uk/
NOTES:
The banner image, needs to be at least 2048 pixels wide, since it's likely to be used on some very wide screens.
The custom logo image has to be close to square for it be presented as an option. Specifically, an aspect ratio between 0.9 and 1.1 is required.
You can select the primary CAMRA colour, or a 80%, 40% or 20% tint of the primary colour for the header, menu and footer background. See the Primary Colours and Tint Colours (both PDF downloads). Here are all the Appearance Options.
