What aspects of my Prospectus can I customise?
✅ Understanding Your Options
During the initial branding phase, we're often asked questions along the lines of "How can we set our Prospectus apart from others? What can we choose to do differently? How can we bring our Prospectus in line with our institution branding or a specific campaign?"
In this article, you'll find a slide-by-slide walkthrough of through the customisable aspects of Prospectus+.
From logos and text to layout, buttons, and functionality, we'll shed light on the extent to which you can make your Prospectus truly your own.
