Brand the customer portal

In this article
The short answer

Your customer portal takes its look from three places. Your logo comes from Business Settings. Your brand colour, typeface and corner style come from the Customer login form in Form studio. On Customer cabinet design you then choose one of three appearances: Quiet, Bold header or Dark. Changing the portal's look needs the Growth plan.

The portal shows your logo next to your business name. Without one, it shows your business initials.

  1. Go to gear icon → Business Settings.
  2. Under Online presence & branding, next to Logo, click Select image and choose a PNG or JPEG.
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

2. Set your colour, typeface and corners

The portal follows the design of your customer sign-in form, so your sign-in box and the portal behind it match.

  1. Go to gear icon → Integrations.
  2. Under Your website, click Design on the Customer Login row. Form studio opens on the Customer login form.
  3. In Design, set the colours, Form corner radius and Font style. The Customer preview on the right updates as you go.
  4. Click Save changes. Reset puts back what was last saved.

The Design step is marked Shared style: other forms that use the same style change with it.

3. Choose an appearance

  1. Go to gear icon → Integrations. Under Your brand, click Design on the Customer Portal row. The page is called Customer cabinet design.
  2. Under Choose an appearance, click the one you want. Each card is a preview of your portal in your own colours.
  3. Click Save changes. The bar at the bottom shows the chosen appearance and whether it has been saved, for example Quiet · Not saved yet.

AppearanceWhat customers see
QuietWarm and understated. Your brand colour is kept for the buttons customers press. This is the default.
Bold headerA strong header in your brand colour, with a light page below it.
DarkA dark espresso background with light text, and your brand colour on every key action.

Under Your branding stays connected, the page lists what it takes from your form design: Brand colour, Your typeface, Matching corners, and Company logo once you have one. Open Form Design takes you back to step 2.

Change the colour later

You only pick the appearance once. When you change your colour or typeface in Form studio, the portal follows on its own.

The BizBaby name on the portal

On the Starter and Essential plans, the pages your customers open show a small Powered by BizBaby link under your business name. Premium and Growth don't show it.

Common problems

  • Customer Portal or Customer Login shows a lock, or the page sends you to the plans page. Customer cabinet design and form design are on the Growth plan. The portal itself is on Premium and Growth.
  • Save changes stays greyed out. You haven't picked a different appearance from the one that is saved.
  • The portal still shows initials. No logo is saved in Business Settings yet.
