Adding Your Company Name

Including a text header is a lot easier than creating a custom header image or formatting your logo and still gives you several options for highlighting your company name.

To add your company name to the header of your XSite...

1. In the Theme Prefs step of the XSites Wizard, ensure that the Include my company name check box is checked.
2. Type your company name in the large text box. This information is pre-loaded with the company name you provided when you signed up for your Agent XSite, but you can change it here.
   
   

   		Hint: To insert a line break in your company name, press Shift+Enter.

3. Above the text box, you'll find several options for modifying the text. These should be familiar to anybody who's used a word processor.
4. Turn on Bold, Italics or Underline by clicking the appropriate button.
5. Select the font color by clicking the colored box and choosing a shade from the palette. Note that on dark backgrounds you may want to use white or some other light-colored text. If necessary, the background of the text box will change so you can still see the text.
6. Choose the font style and size you desire from the appropriate drop-down menu.
   
   

   		Note: Your font choices are limited to those standard to Microsoft Windows; that way, your company name appears as intended on nearly all computers.

7. On the sample screen above, you'll see how your text looks on your XSite's header.  Simply use your mouse to position your company name exactly where you want it.
8. Enter your Secondary header text.  This is the slogan that appears in your site header and one of the first things people see on your site. 
9. Above the text box, there are several options for modifying the text. As necessary, turn on Bold, Italics or Underline by clicking the corresponding button.
10. Select the font color by clicking the colored box and choosing a shade from the palette. Keep in mind that on dark backgrounds you may want to use white or some other light-colored text. If necessary, the background of the text box changes so you can still see the text.
11. Choose the font style and size you desire from the appropriate drop-down menu.

If you're using a custom logo file with your company name in it, you can turn off the text by simply un-checking the Include my company name box. See the section on Animating the Site Header to learn how to animate your site header.
