Market of Choice

Brand & Assets

Image specs, brand colors, typography, and asset guidelines for Market of Choice.

Centralized reference for image dimensions, brand tokens, and asset handling. Both sites share the same brand identity but have slightly different Avada configurations.

Image Specs

The standard featured image size used across blog posts, recipes, maker profiles, employee spotlights, newsroom posts, and all WPUPG grid content:

  • Dimensions: 1200 x 925px (48:37 aspect ratio)
  • Format: JPEG, quality 85
  • Crop: Center on the subject with good headroom
  • Max file size: aim for under 300KB after optimization

Adjust the -gravity and crop offset to frame the subject well.

Hero Banners

Full-width hero images for homepages, department pages, and landing pages:

  • Width: at least 2400px (for retina displays)
  • Aspect ratio: typically 16:9 or wider
  • Format: JPEG, quality 85
  • Max file size: under 500KB

Product Images (Reservations Site)

WooCommerce product images for catering and Supper Club items:

  • Format: JPEG or PNG
  • Optimization: always optimize before uploading — client-provided images are often uncompressed TIFFs (30+ MB)

General Rules

  • HEIC files from iPhone need conversion to JPG before uploading
  • Always set alt text and title on uploaded media
  • All media is offloaded to Cloudflare R2 and served from static.marketofchoice.com
  • PDFs are excluded from R2 on the reservations site (stay on WP Engine)
  • Thumbnail regeneration triggers a full R2 re-upload — see Gotchas

Brand Colors

Both sites use Avada's color system via CSS custom properties (--awb-colorN). The palettes are similar but not identical.

2024 Rebrand Palette (Marketing Site)

The 2024 rebrand introduced named custom colors that are the primary design tokens:

The reservations site doesn't use decorative fonts (Quiet Nights, Local Brewery, True North) — it's a simpler, more functional design.

The primary logo is at static.marketofchoice.com/uploads/2024/03/2024-branding.png. Favicon: uploads/2021/01/moc-favicon-64X64.png.

The logo is configured in Avada > Options > Logo on each site. It's not a file you typically need to touch.
