Is having a favicon important for a website?

Post by Elli Sophia »

My mother and i want to start an online handmade-bags store.The thing is...when it comes to branding i have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
A friend was suggesting that i should create a favicon. My question is whether a favicon plays a major role on your website or not? does it help in website rankings or such?

It doesn't matter, but it's pretty easy to create a simple one (like the first letter of your brand/domain name) so you might as well get it over with.

Actually, i ended up wanting a challenge and just made a favicon online!!! Suprisingly enough, it was quite easy and fun to do, plus my Mother's online handbag-shop looks way more professional with the favicon. I used a favicon generator from 1&1 and i love the fact that it was absolutely free!! Well...incase anyone wants to try it out https://www.1and1.co.uk/favicon-generator
