A logo is essential for establishing brand identity, credibility, and site recognition. It helps people know what the website is all about and remember it later. Plus, if you click on it, it’s like a little map back to the main page!
The Site Logo is a dynamic widget that displays the site logo. However, the logo can only be replaced or deleted in the Elementor Site Identity Settings or WordPress Customizer. With this widget, you have control over design stuff, like its size, where it sits on the page, and more.
