Branding
Branding is how your venue looks to guests in the places Sidedoor renders on your behalf - your embeddable widgets and your branded emails. You set it under Settings → Marketing → Branding, with a live preview as you work.
Upload your venue logo. It appears on your widgets and on branded emails such as voucher deliveries.
Colours
Section titled “Colours”You can start from one of 8 colour presets, then fine-tune with custom colours.
| Preset | Preset | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| classic | rose | ||
| midnight | forest | ||
| minimal | slate | ||
| ocean | plum |
Beyond the presets, you can set your own custom colours:
| Colour | Controls |
|---|---|
| Accent | Your primary brand colour - buttons, highlights and links. |
| Background | The surface colour behind your content. |
| Text | The colour of body text. |
Style presets
Section titled “Style presets”A style preset is a one-click look that sets a consistent combination of spacing, corner radius, button shape and shadow across your widgets and voucher emails - so everything feels like it belongs together without tuning each detail yourself. There are six to choose from:
| Preset | Feel |
|---|---|
| Classic | The default - balanced spacing, gently rounded corners and a soft shadow. |
| Minimal | Flat and understated - square buttons, sharp corners, no shadow and tight spacing. |
| Luxury | Spacious and premium - pill buttons, generously rounded corners, a strong shadow and roomy spacing. |
| Bold | Punchy and high-contrast - square buttons with a strong shadow. |
| Playful | Friendly and soft - pill buttons and rounded corners. |
| Modern | Clean and contemporary - lightly rounded corners with compact spacing. |
Applying a preset leaves your colours and font untouched - it only changes the shape and spacing of things, so your brand palette stays exactly as you set it.
Button shape
Section titled “Button shape”You can set the button shape independently of your preset. This control overrides whatever button style the preset chose, so you can mix, say, the Modern look with pill-shaped buttons:
| Shape | Look |
|---|---|
| Square | Crisp, straight corners. |
| Rounded | Softly rounded corners (the default). |
| Pill | Fully rounded, capsule-shaped buttons. |
Pick a font scheme that matches your brand’s feel:
| Scheme | Character |
|---|---|
| serif | Classic, editorial. |
| sans | Clean, modern. |
| mono | Technical, distinctive. |
| elegant | Refined, high-end serif. |
| rounded | Soft, approachable sans. |
| slab | Sturdy, characterful slab serif. |
| editorial | Refined display serif with plenty of character. |
| cormorant | Elegant, high-contrast garalde serif. |
| oswald | Narrow, condensed display face. |
Inheritance
Section titled “Inheritance”Your branding is inherited everywhere Sidedoor represents you to guests:
- Your widgets - the accent, background, text colours, font and logo all flow through automatically. (A widget can optionally use its own logo - see Customising a widget.)
- Your voucher emails and other branded emails.
Set your branding once and it stays consistent across every guest-facing touch point.
