Customizing branded footer

Follow

Latitude offers a range of configurable properties, allowing you to offer the platform within your own brand. In addition to the ability to add your own logo and adjust the color scheme to the platform, you also have the ability to add a branded footer to each of your free site subscriptions.

Your logo and a message will be displayed in the footer at each page of the user's website:

Benefits of a branded footer

The benefits of including the branded footer within your free subscription come two-fold:

1. When a free user attempts to remove the footer, they are prompted to upgrade, serving as a key upsell.

When the user clicks the Delete icon, a window appears encouraging her to upgrade the subscription.

2. If a free user opts to publish the website with your branded footer, it will serve to increase your web traffic while simultaneously promoting your platform.
