Important Information:
The images used in our script vary in sizes, depending on the website design (template). Still, to avoid possible problems we suggest choosing a definite image format for every website.
For instance, in our Demo Store we used the following parameters:
- Recommended Boutique Logo size: 250?100px.
- Recommended Home Page Boutique Banner size: 910?275px.
