[Platform Design](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design) # Branding your uConnect Platform This article covers the key branding areas that can be customized in uConnect, including the top ribbon, header space, header navigation, footer, emails, buttons, fonts, and colors. **NOTE:** While uConnect may look like a website, some elements cannot be changed to exactly match your institution's website branding. uConnect will work to match your branding as closely as possible.

It typically holds your institutional logo and call-to-action buttons ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXcv7d26R07R8PK7DlOhBcYplEyVk-5kPgGWEhCUtZ1UepD1uJqJFrfY3B1qjnQznUOeT2umegMB-c-gJTjiSd_upAcSDru7VbkvlP2NHOZXr7pxAjYrF4UKDCs-j7kkJDzmt6Tn-2.png)   **Header Navigation** This is the space found between below the header space and holds your main navigation. *Note:* Only horizontal menu layouts are supported. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXcxTEDevP48hhoxWAtyuHkVMb7P5E3zigfySKiRQO0xTSxLSt2HWwj68sKNtbOlngsmR4rNFP1oH8NXZUrHhwsJGl7V-R11boF0gqH3poICW4EL1PFTKdbkg1Q3i8NFOUN5IQf-bg-2.png)   **Footer** This is the footer of your platform and can be viewed on all pages on your uConnect platform. Note: You’re able to adjust the contact information, social media icons, and footer menus under Customize in the backend of the platform. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXfMBz4QvlsJg8FSnLMQDw-tRgMoouAftYPnyzHkUPmiu40Vqk0Bc4LqU96rPnKgDeTS4aM9km6as3RcdANMkDptsLrt345yaquXXdu_L30KVKaTVwsTTclfs_CsWnnbDpazc80R-2.png)   **Emails (Automated Alerts and Custom Emails)** uConnect can send branded emails under Engage in the backend of the platform. NOTE: We cannot customize branding separately for custom emails versus automated alert digests. Branding will appear the same for both. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXcaV3_jBDfgq9ZTULv7hc4u9ekP03OYprTMau-fXzbHPcUIg3GWuwm2BIRmW4HOGeT5PazrhRBke0i6A4jm2V5MDu8zPJvXMUSJCBWu1i1G7L1pHTryU1QVQoZRD9KCLopp4DnP8A-2.png)   ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXc3lfeOYKRmZGYCTAX6_JyCIoWEdK27Yt2y1kt1agBrS01dEVFhk5nmQLd6au3o5AbqIeMg1MkJwsI_PfyheRicq_RtN9Bny3Bi4OVYecFTE_S2pBzq13eIoBqb28fmO4rJjvuj1g-2.png)   **Buttons** These are call-to-action buttons across the platform. They exist: 1. In the header space 2. As a button side widget 3. As a call-to-action to view more content or open content from a preview. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXdXIdDCsOJwCkxo9V126EBSnD0yix07k8Y0VhVCUpLOdhMePOUJ2KCrCuIkqXpfOBH5p2nKK2JNAKos3lakwFGfnvmz5O0Gx6ok1Z4FJI3sqtg28ApnrnXmlk2tEmO40WwdZFU4KA-2.png)   **Fonts** These are the fonts to brand your platform. uConnect supports Google Fonts and custom font uploads in WOFF and WOFF2 formats. There are different font styles and font-weight for every font. Choose the one that you think will be used on the website. Usually, a regular, *regular italic*, and **bold** font style is needed. Generally, we look for a 400 (normal or regular, also called “book”) weight and a 700 (**bold**) weight. We also recommend an *italic version* of the 400 weight.   ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXfBEiL--dBpGpAxVjoki0My_RiDfdRQUfCiAenVIf8418YIibrLlSkFvoIO78rtbkRH_kS5CM1kzuoYakuhB86ggzgytzvh-8POAlyUms-OIpajEZq3E56SbuaseUXl5pV5mA50Zg-2.png)   **Colors** These are the default colors that are used to brand your platform. **NOTE:** Colors and color combinations may need to be adjusted to meet accessibility contrast requirements.   ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/AD_4nXeJ1b4cxD-V6jA6tAlvzRG56zjzrWdfkyE_J_EgUv49W_6bxpFGITaIutItYGMtdPaxY6Ku5vfs-AqGqeOrbNXvSANwxtXzIsIWxkPmrlYfik9Ix-hGm_io5GzGwXJOemKjAkyj-2.png) [Update Your uConnect Branding](https://clients.gouconnect.com/update-your-uconnect-branding/?__hstc=251652889.57fdc99578985126ab0057be2f148a21.1752165755687.1772135267919.1772209841988.161&__hssc=251652889.1.1772209841988&submissionGuid=3d58fdb3-d59d-4faf-ad4a-7f370e7f7540)   - [Get Started](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/get-started) - [AI Search](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/ai-search) - [Analytics & Data](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#main-content) - [Outcomes Data](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#outcomes-data) - [Platform Analytics](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#platform-analytics) - [Google Analytics](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#google-analytics) - [Publish Content](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/publish-content) - [Manage Your Communities & Content Categories](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#main-content) - [Communities](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#communities) - [Content Categories](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#content-categories) - [Manage Subscribers & Users](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-subscribers-users) - [Platform Design](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#main-content) - [Widgets](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#widgets) - [Block Editor (WordPress)](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#block-editor-wordpress) - [Menus](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#menus) - [Accessibility Hub](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/accessibility-hub#main-content) - [Block Editor](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/accessibility-hub#block-editor) - [Market Your Platform](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/market-your-platform#main-content) - [Activation and Promotion Guides](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/market-your-platform#activation-and-promotion-guides) - [Modules & Integrations](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/modules-integrations#main-content) - [Outcomes Data Visualization](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/modules-integrations#outcomes-data-visualization) - [Technical Configurations](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/technical-configurations#main-content) - [Automated Subscriber Uploads (SIS)](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/technical-configurations#automated-subscriber-uploads-sis) - [Product Updates](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/product-updates) - [Customer Training Recordings](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/customer-training-recordings) - [Candid Career+](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/candid-career) - [General](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/general)    [![uConnect Logo](https://s41911.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/logo-white.svg)](https://www.gouconnect.com/) - [Customers](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/) - [Case Studies](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/case-studies/) - [Client Directory](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/client-directory/) - [Testimonials](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/testimonials/) - [Product](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/) - [Use Cases](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/use-cases/) - [Integrations](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/integrations/) - [Become a Partner](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/partner/) - [Company](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/) - [Careers](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/careers/) - [News](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/news/) - [Status Page](https://status.gouconnect.com/) - [Career Everywhere](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/) - [The Movement](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/movement/) - [Community](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/community/access/) - [Podcast](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/podcast/) © 2026 uConnect Inc.
