Recommended Locations

Why Your Agent Photo Should Not Be Added to the Header Image

The header image at the top of your website is designed to be a large, eye-catching background image that represents your brand. It is not intended for agent photos, text, or logos.

Why?

• Cropping Issues – The header image automatically adjusts based on screen size and device, which can cause parts of the image (including your face) to be cropped unexpectedly.
• Best Use of Space – A high-quality, generic image (such as a local landscape or real estate-related background) ensures your site looks professional and visually appealing across all devices.

For a polished look, it’s best to keep your agent photo in your sidebar, footer, or bio page where it will display clearly.
