Product Graphics

When building a product membership site in Summit Evergreen, a great way to customize your site is through the use of graphics. In Summit Evergreen, there are numerous graphics you can incorporate into your site. These include product covers, favicons, theme headers, backdrops, page thumbnails, and miscellaneous content images.
