How To Add Your Own Media: Images, Pictures, Videos or Documents

Adding Your Own Images or Videos

1. Name your image or video appropriately.
   • Name should be descriptive for better accessibility
   • Avoid years or other dates if possible.
   • Remove any extra text like "draft" or "final" or "(1)" etc.
2. Images should be cropped to specific sizes to be used in certain areas for the best visual results on your website (banners, card images, spotlights, etc.)
