How to customise your edition to match your branding

Your edition can be customised in many ways to create a registration experience that matches your event identity.

From background images and logos to colours, fonts, messages, and wording, njuko provides a range of tools and modules to help you build a consistent and professional participant experience.

This guide covers the main branding tools available and where to configure them.

1. Install the recommended branding modules

To fully customise your edition, we recommend installing several branding-related modules from the Store.

Some customisation options are included by default, while others require dedicated modules.

1.1 Recommended modules

Search for and install the following modules as needed:

• Custom background image

• Custom front navigation

• Custom sender email address

• Customise select competition page

• Custom font (front only)

• Registration workflow manager

💡 Tip
Not all modules are mandatory. Install only the ones relevant to the branding and participant experience you want to create.

2. Customise the visual identity of your edition

Several design elements can be configured to align your edition with your event branding.

This includes:

• Background image

• Logo

• Theme colours

• Fonts

2.1 Customise the background

Go to:

Setup → Edition settings → Advanced options

Here you can upload a custom background image for your edition.

You can:

• Upload your own image

• Use one of the default preset images

• Create a simple colour background by uploading a solid colour image

Recommended image size:

• Maximum width around 2000px

⚠️ Important
If an image does not upload, it is usually because the file size is too large. Resize or compress the image before uploading.

Once saved, the background will automatically appear on the front office pages.

2.2 Add your logo and manage the edition title

Install the module:

Customise the edition contents, title and logo

Go to:

• Hide the default confirmation message if desired

For logos, we recommend:

• Transparent PNG format

The logo will appear at the top of your event registration page.

You may also choose to hide the edition title if it conflicts with your design or background.

to ensure consistent branding.

4. Customise wording using translations

The translation tool allows you to customise wording displayed to participants.

You can edit participant-facing wording such as:

• Button labels

• Instructions

• Interface text

• Competition wording

Examples:

• Modify wording to match your event tone

• Adjust terminology to suit your audience

This is a powerful branding tool.

4.1 Structure vs edition translations

When editing translations, make sure you select the correct scope.

You can translate:

Structure level
Changes apply across your structure.

Edition level
Changes apply only to the current edition.

Choose carefully before saving.

⚠️ Important
Translation overrides are extremely flexible but can become difficult to track if heavily modified.

Keep wording consistent and document significant changes where possible.

5. Advanced branding options

Additional modules provide even more control over the participant experience.

Many of these settings can be configured from:

Setup → Edition settings → Advanced options

Examples include:

• Hide competition name

Some modules allow customisation:

These tools make it possible to fine-tune how your edition looks and behaves.

6. Best practices

For the best branding experience, we recommend:

• Keeping colours and fonts consistent across your edition and emails

• Using lightweight, optimised images

• Testing desktop and mobile display

• Avoiding excessive translation overrides

• Applying branding consistently across all workflows

• Reviewing participant-facing pages before going live

Small visual improvements can significantly improve participant confidence and conversion.
