Accessing the Feature:
To upload and manage your cover photos, follow these simple steps:
Log in to your Readyhubb professional account.
Navigate to your Profile.
Click on Business Settings.
Proceed to Profile & Pictures. This section allows you to enhance your profile in multiple ways:
Upload Portfolio Photos: Showcase your work or business ambiance by uploading images. You can upload up to 10 photos to elevate the look of your profile. Note: Having at least two photos is a requirement if you want your profile to be listed on Readyhubb Marketplace.
What You Can Do:
With our Cover Photo feature, you have full control over your profile's visual presentation. Here's what you can do:
Upload High-Quality Images:
Select and upload high-resolution images to ensure your profile looks professional.
Avoid low-resolution images as they may appear stretched and cropped, reducing visual appeal.
Minimum Number of Images:
Upload a minimum of 4 images to your gallery. This helps showcase a full range of what your business has to offer and prevents images from being stretched or cropped when resized.
Lead with Your Best Image:
Choose an inviting main image as this will be the first thing clients see on your profile. This image will also generate your business's icon, taken from a square snippet in the center. A centrally focused image ensures key elements remain visible in previews and booking carts.
Use Clear, Well-Lit Images:
Select clear images taken in well-lit areas of your business. These images will make your profile visually appealing to clients.
