Page photos & gallery
Upload a logo and business photos — the client's first impression of your page.
Photos are the first thing a client sees on your public page — before the price, before a free slot, before the specialist’s name. Mountify has two different kinds of photo, and they live in two different places: photos of the venue (logo and gallery) are set in Setup → Public site, while photos of an individual service live in that service’s own editor. This article covers the first kind.
There is no Save button. The moment a photo finishes uploading it is already live on your public page. If you aren’t ready for clients to see it yet, first switch off Online booking in the top right of the same page.
1. Getting to the page photos
- In the left rail, pick the board whose page you’re editing — every board has its own public page and its own photos.
- Click Setup; on a computer it opens straight on Public site (on a phone, pick Public site from the cards).
- In Page settings on the right, in the Business group, click Photos. The row shows how many photos you have now.
Your page is on the left, the settings on the right. On a narrow screen the preview hides behind the Preview button in the title row.
2. The logo — in «Name & logo»
The logo is not in Photos — it’s in the Name & logo row, the square tile labelled Upload to the left of the Name field.
To upload: click the tile (or drop a file on it), pick the file, and wait for the progress indicator. Once the picture appears in the tile it is saved, and the preview updates immediately.
To replace or remove: use the buttons that appear on the uploaded logo.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Allowed formats | PNG, JPEG, WEBP |
| Maximum size | 5 MB |
| Recommended shape | square (the hint says: “A square image works best.”) |
| Where it shows | the top bar of every screen, the About card, the QR-code card |
Logo shape (circle, rounded or square) is set in Components → Logo shape, with the values Circle, Rounded and Square. The default is Rounded.
Tip: upload a logo on a solid background rather than a transparent PNG with light lettering. If a client views the page in a dark theme, a light logo with no background dissolves into it.
3. Photos of the venue — the «Photos» row
The hint reads Photos of your place — they make it feel personal. Inside is a grid of square tiles, three to a row. The dashed tile with a + is Add.
To add photos:
- Click Add — or drag several files onto the grid at once.
- You can pick more than one file. They upload one at a time, in the order you picked them.
- Each finished photo appears as a tile. The first one carries a Cover badge.
To remove a photo: each tile has a remove button in its corner.
Under the grid a line keeps count and explains where the photos go: “N of 12. The first photo is the cover of the About card clients open from your name. All photos are public.” A second line adds: “The Storefront and Cover photo heroes use your first photos.”
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum count | 12 photos — at 12 the Add tile disappears |
| Allowed formats | PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF |
| Maximum size | 5 MB per file |
| Order | upload order; the first uploaded is the Cover. To change the order, remove and re-upload |
Messages you may hit
| Message | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Gallery is full | you tried to add more than 12 | remove one to make room |
| File exceeds the maximum size | the file is over 5 MB | shrink the photo before uploading |
| This file type isn’t allowed | not PNG / JPEG / WEBP / GIF | re-save it as a JPEG |
| Workspace storage quota exceeded | the whole workspace is out of file storage | delete old files or change plan |
| You don’t have permission to upload here | your role can’t edit this board | ask the owner to grant it |
| Upload failed | a network problem | try again |
4. Which photo shows where
| Photo | Where it’s uploaded | Where the client sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Logo | Public site → Name & logo | the top bar, the About card, the QR card |
| First venue photo (Cover) | Public site → Photos | the cover of the About card; the background of the band on top with the Sheet layout; the Cover photo hero on a phone and the Storefront hero on a computer |
| The other venue photos | Public site → Photos | in the About card, under the cover; the Storefront hero shows up to three |
| Service photos | Catalog → Offerings → the service → its editor | on the service card and in its detail view |
| Specialist photo | the specialist’s resource editor | in the specialist-picking step and in their profile |
When you are in the Photos section, a note above the preview reminds you: “Photos appear in the About card, which opens when clients tap your name.”
No photos yet? Nothing breaks. The About card simply has no cover, the Sheet band uses your brand colour instead, and the Storefront and Cover photo heroes tell you in the Hero section that clients see the default instead — with a Go to Photos link.
5. What photos do NOT do
- They don’t affect free slots, prices, durations or capacity.
- They aren’t used as a specialist’s photo — that is uploaded in the resource’s own editor.
- They aren’t used by banners. A banner has its own background image, uploaded in Setup → Banners.
- They don’t replace your address and phone. Those are set in Catalog → Locations; the Links row holds only social profiles and a website.
6. Practical rules for good photos
- Put your best, widest shot first. It becomes the cover and, with Sheet, the background behind your name — so it should look good cropped wide and with text over it.
- Three to five photos are plenty. Twelve weak shots hurt more than three good ones.
- Shoot the interior, the working space and finished work — those are the three things clients look for.
- Avoid collages with text baked in: on a phone the text becomes unreadable.
- If a photo is dark, check it in the Dark theme too — flip Style & colour → Theme and watch the preview.
7. Troubleshooting
I uploaded a photo but it isn’t on the public page. Reload the public page with a cleared cache (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R). Public data is cached briefly. If it’s still missing, check you aren’t on a different board — every board has its own gallery.
The logo is cropped. The tile is square. If the original is a wide rectangle, the sides get cut. Make a square version with padding around the mark.
I want a different photo as the cover. The cover is always the first photo, and the order is upload order — it can’t be dragged. Remove the photos, then upload your favourite first and the rest after it.
I closed the tab right after uploading and the photo is gone. An upload finishes when the tile appears in the grid. If you closed before that, the file never reached the board — upload it again.
The Sheet band is a plain colour. There are no photos in Photos yet. The first one you upload becomes the band’s background.
What’s next
- Brand your page: logo, name, photos — the logo alongside name and description.
- Classic or Sheet: your home layout — where the first photo becomes the background.
- Service photos & details — the other kind of photo.
- The booking-page editor — the whole screen, row by row.
