Marketing: Web Tools to Customize Online
Customize Your Web Site
Favicon.cc: Free Online Favicon Creator
A favicon is that personalized image that appears near the URL in the address bar of your browser. This is an excellent way to brand your site
While there are plenty of Web sites that assist you in creating a favicon (i.e., favorite icon), favicon.cc is my personal favorite. You can import an image or just freehand it with the easy-to-use design tools. Plus, it’s absolutely free.
Here’s a sample favicon that I created for a friend using favicon.cc.

Hi Malke! I apologize for the delay in response. Here’s how you add the favicon to your site.
First, make sure to save the icon as “favicon.ico” if not browsers won’t recognize it. Then upload the image to the root folder for your Web host. (If you upload directly to your root folder, you won’t need to add the full URL for the href tag.) Finally, include the script below:
<head>
<link type=”image/x-icon” rel=”shortcut Icon” href=”favicon.ico”>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
Refresh your browser and visit your site. Your favicon should now appear.
This process is different if uploading your favicon to a blog though. For more info on favicons and how to add them to your site, check out these links:
