Badge variants
Choose the version that fits your website.
Crowdstax provides light, neutral, and dark badge artwork so the badge can sit cleanly on different product pages, docs pages, and footer sections without needing custom image edits.
Crowdstax badges
Show where your product launched or was featured.
Crowdstax badges help founders connect their product website back to a public Crowdstax listing, giving visitors a clear path to launch context, discussion, reviews, and discovery signals.
For free founder submissions, use the badge embed code generated in the submission wizard. That code includes the badge image, a Crowdstax backlink, and a stable validation marker.
Light badge
Best for dark or high-contrast website sections.
Neutral badge
A balanced option for most product pages and footer areas.
Dark badge
Best for light backgrounds or clean marketing pages.
Product-specific badge code
Use the badge code generated for the specific product.
Generic badge markup is less useful because free submission validation needs to match the submitted website, badge variant, Crowdstax backlink, and validation marker. The safest path is to copy the code from the product submission flow or the product listing context.
- Start from the product submission.Founder submissions generate badge code tied to the submitted product website.
- Copy the generated embed code.The generated code includes the Crowdstax badge image, backlink, and validation marker.
- Keep the link product-specific.After approval, the badge should point visitors to the live Crowdstax product page.
If you are submitting a product for free, use the wizard-generated code instead of hand-writing generic badge HTML.
Best practices
Keep badge links useful and accurate.
- Link the badge to the public Crowdstax product page once the listing is live.
- Keep the badge visible enough for visitors to understand where the product is listed.
- Use the wizard-generated embed code during free founder submissions so validation can match the submitted website.
- Choose the badge variant that fits your website background without reducing readability.
Placement ideas
Add the badge where it helps visitors.
Badge placement should make sense for the product page. It should help visitors verify the listing and move between your website and Crowdstax without implying guaranteed rankings, awards, or endorsements.
Badge placement
Homepage or product page
Place the badge near press, launch, social proof, or community sections where visitors already look for external validation.
Badge placement
Footer or about page
Use a footer or about-page placement when you want a persistent listing link without changing your primary conversion section.
Badge placement
Launch recap or changelog
Add the badge near a launch announcement, changelog entry, or release note when Crowdstax is part of the product story.
Badge FAQ
Questions about Crowdstax badges.
Where should a Crowdstax badge link?
A live product badge should link to the public Crowdstax product page for that listing. Pending free submissions should use the embed code generated in the submission wizard.
Do badges guarantee search rankings?
No. A badge can create a useful attribution link and help visitors verify where a product is listed, but Crowdstax does not promise search rankings, traffic, or business outcomes.
Which badge variant should I use?
Use the Light badge on darker sections, the Dark badge on lighter sections, and the Neutral badge when you want a balanced option that works across most layouts.
Can community submitters use badge validation?
No. Badge validation is for founder or product-team submissions where the submitter controls the product website. Community submissions continue through standard moderation.
