How to design your Koalo App.

Creating a personalized and engaging app for your community has never been easier. In this video, we’ll walk you through the process of individualizing your Koalo app in just three simple steps. Whether you’re a content creator, a business, or a community organizer, these customization options will help you make your app uniquely yours.

Step 1: Choose Your Logotype

The first step in individualizing your app is selecting a logotype. This is the image or icon that will represent your brand and greet your users on the login page and the main page.

• How to Choose: Think about your brand’s identity. Choose a logo that is recognizable and reflective of your community’s values. You can use tools like https://looka.com/logo-maker/ or https://www.canva.com/create/logos/ to create your logo from scratch.
• Implementation: Upload your chosen logo directly in the app’s admin panel. Ensure it’s high-resolution for the best visual impact.

Your logotype sets the tone for your app, making it the first impression your users will have. A well-chosen logo can significantly enhance the user experience, making your app feel professional and aligned with your brand.

Step 2: Select Your Theme

Next, decide on the overall theme of your app. Koalo offers two main themes: light and dark.
