How to change the favicon in SiteBuilder? Print

To add a favicon to your SiteBuilder site, first you need to create the favicon image. This can be done manually on your computer or you can use an online favicon generator. Here are several such generators:

Once you create the favicon, you should upload the favicon.ico file to your public_html folder.
