Builder brands: Adding a website favicon

One simple way to reinforce your brand identity is to add a favicon to your website. When you see a familiar logo, it creates an instant connection with the product, and that connection becomes stronger with repeated exposure. Most browsers support favicons, displaying them in the address bar, browser tabs, bookmarks, and browsing history. This small icon helps users quickly recognize your site and gives your website a more professional and polished look.

Since most favicons are minimal, you'll want to create a separate logo file around 50 by 50 pixels in one of these formats: Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), or Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG).
