Important Notes
Two important points to note when using handshake domains.
Don't Collect Sensitive Information
SSL is currently not supported by handshake so be mindful of what data you collect via the site if any. Directing users to 3rd party systems to make contact or to process data is recommended. Examples: Click to email, Discord, Telegram, Send a Facebook Message.
Email Isn't Supported Yet
Handshake currently does not support email records. Alternative solutions to email are recommended as a workaround. eg. Click to email gmail, Discord, Telegram, Send a Facebook Message. Don't let yourself be limited to just these examples of email alternatives.
Branding Recommendations
Suggested Colors
A small palette is recommended to keep your viewer emersed in content that's easy to read thanks to a methodical use of a limited color space that puts content first while still adding a sense of quality to your content.
