Your WiFi splash page is the first impression guests have of your network, and customizing it to match your brand is essential for a professional guest experience. Spotipo's splash page editor lets you modify logos, backgrounds, colors, and layout without any coding knowledge, creating a branded captive portal that builds trust and reinforces your business identity.

This guide walks you through Spotipo's visual splash page customization process, from uploading your logo and background to editing text, colors, and form fields. Whether you're running a café, hotel, retail store, or multi-location business, you can create a professional WiFi login page in minutes.

What you can customize:

  • Logo, background images, and brand colors

  • Page headings, descriptions, and button text

  • Input field appearance and styling

  • Form fields (add, remove, or edit data collection fields)

Design philosophy: The primary goal of your splash page is helping users provide required information quickly and easily. Every design element should support this by keeping users focused on the central input form while maintaining a professional appearance that reflects your brand.

What you'll need:

  • Logo image (recommended max 300px width × 250px height, under 1MB)

  • Background image (recommended 1900px × 1200px, under 1MB)

  • Active Spotipo account with a configured site

Design Philosophy

The primary goal of your splash page is to help users provide the required information as quickly and easily as possible. Every design element should support this objective by keeping users focused on the central input form while maintaining a professional appearance that reflects your brand.

Splash Page Structure

Your splash page consists of two main components:

Page Background - The full-screen backdrop that sets the visual tone

Central Grid Box - The focused content area containing your logo and input fields

This structure ensures users immediately understand where to direct their attention while providing flexibility for brand expression through the background.

Background Design Guidelines

Your background serves multiple purposes: brand reinforcement, location promotion, or event advertising. Consider these options:

  • Solid color for clean, minimal designs

  • Brand imagery to reinforce location identity

  • Event promotions using upcoming event posters as backdrops

  • Image with color overlay to balance visual interest with readability

Critical Design Rule: The background must never compete with the central grid box for attention. Users should instantly focus on the input area, not struggle to find it among distracting visuals.

Recommended image dimensions: 1900px × 1200px

Logo Specifications

Position your logo prominently within the grid box to establish immediate brand recognition.

Recommended dimensions:

  • Maximum width: 300 pixels

  • Maximum height: 250 pixels

These constraints ensure your logo displays clearly across all devices without overwhelming the input fields.

Color Scheme Strategy

Create strong visual hierarchy through strategic color contrast:

  • Background: Darker tones

  • Grid box: Lighter tones

This contrast ensures the central content area stands out clearly, guiding users naturally to the input fields regardless of your background choice.

Configuration Steps

1. Access Splash Page Settings

Navigate to the Splash page tab in your Spotipo site dashboard.

2. Upload Basic Elements

Configure your core visual elements:

Please ensure logo and background files are < 1MB. You can use an online tool like Canva or Pixlr to edit the image.

  • Logo upload

  • Background image selection

  • Background color selection

For additional customization options, click "Show advanced settings".

3. Select Page to Edit

Multiple pages may be available depending on your configured login methods. Use the page selector at the top to choose the appropriate page for editing.

4. Customize Page Heading

Click directly on any text element to open the text editor in the right panel. This allows you to modify headings, instructions, or any other text content.

5. Edit Interactive Elements

Every page element is directly editable:

  • Click on input fields to modify their appearance

  • Select buttons to customize colors and styling

  • Choose any element to access its specific editing options in the right panel

6. Editing Fields

If you want to Edit/Add or Remove any of the fields on the form, use the Fields editor.

7. Save and Test Your Changes

Save: Click the "Save" button in the top right corner to preserve all modifications.

Preview: Use the "Demo" button to test your splash page functionality and appearance before going live.

Best Practices Summary

  • Keep backgrounds subtle to maintain focus on the input area

  • Use high contrast between background and grid box colors

  • Optimize logo dimensions for clear display across devices

  • Test your design with the Demo feature before publishing

  • Consider your audience's primary device types when choosing colors and sizing

Your splash page serves as the first impression for users accessing your location's network. A well-designed page balances professional appearance with user-friendly functionality, encouraging quick completion of required information while reinforcing your brand identity.

Your Branded WiFi Splash Page Is Ready

Once you've customized your splash page design, any guest connecting to your WiFi will see your branded login page before accessing the internet. This creates a professional first impression and ensures consistent branding across all customer touchpoints.

What to do next:

  • Use the Demo feature to test your splash page across different devices before going live

  • Set up email marketing integrations to automatically add guests to your CRM

  • Sync splash page design to other locations if you manage multiple sites

Design best practices:

  • Keep backgrounds subtle: Use darker backgrounds with lighter grid boxes for strong contrast

  • Optimize for mobile: Over 70% of guest WiFi users connect via smartphones

  • Test before publishing: Always preview your design using the Demo button

  • Use high-quality images: Ensure logo and background files are clear but under 1MB

Common splash page design issues:

  • Logo appears blurry: Ensure your logo file is high resolution but compressed under 1MB

  • Background overwhelms content: Add a color overlay or use darker background tones

  • Text hard to read: Increase contrast between text and background colors

  • Changes not appearing: Clear browser cache and refresh after saving
