How to add a Favicon to your Sayl Retail webshop
Starting with the basics, a favicon is a small 16×16 pixel icon that serves as branding for your website or webshop. Its main purpose is to help visitors locate your page easier when they have multiple tabs open. Due to their tiny size, favicons work best as simple images. Favicons are not to be confused with logos but are sometimes the same. Due to its small size and resolution, the favicon may need to be an even smaller sizer or part of a company’s original logo.
Why adding a Favicon to your Sayl Retail store is a good idea
A. Branding purposes: having a favicon improves your branding.
B. Navigation purposes. Your customers often have difficulty keeping track of all their open browser tabs. Favicons make it easy for them to identify the tab for your website, which increases the chance they will return.
C. Bookmarks: favicons make it easy for your users to find bookmarked pages in their archives.
