If you develop your online business, sooner or later you will meet the need for advertising. One way to reach your potential customers is through banners placed on popular sites, selling any type of product or providing a public service. The easiest way is to pay a designer to produce your banners, but if you prefer to make them yourself, you will know exactly how to modify their content, in a way that best suits your preferences, and of course, you will save some money.
There is wide variety of programs for creating banners. You can use Photoshop or any graphics editor or even MS Paint, which makes it easy for you to fill in a rectangular box and add color figures, photos and text. But the use of web-based applications allows you to edit the banner, regardless of your location or the computer on which you are, because they do not require installation of any additional software and thus you are not dependent on software license restrictions. However, before you start creating a banner you need to know the recommended size of banners, on the site where you plan to advertise, because according to their design banners can be located in a different places and have different size.
Here I will present two sites, where you can create your own banner with minimal effort and without any webdesign knowledge.
1. On the site http://www.bannersketch.com/ you can create a banner in five steps, divided into five separate tabs. You have the ability to choose your banner size depending on its location on the site where you plan to publish it. You can also choose between 24 standard sized and 1300 ready-made templates banners, divided into categories. After selecting the right size, at the top of the screen you can see how your banner will look like. The next step is “Colors / background” – here you select the top and bottom color, that you want to have for or use custom background for your banner. In “Frames and text” you choose whether to create a static banner or rotate several images and also determine the number of text lines as well as the size and font of the text. If you select an animated banner you must enter a text for each frame and also determine in how many seconds the different frames will appear. In “Border” you choose whether to have a border on your banner as well as its color and thickness. Finally, in the “Generate” tab enter your name and email where you will receive your new banner.
Another interesting site is http://www.bannerfans.com/banner_maker.php and here the whole process is also divided into steps that are available in separate tabs on the page. From the “Layout” tab you can selected the size of the banner and the color, which could be plain, gradient or you can use your own uploaded image. When you’re ready with the background you can switch to “Text & Fonts” in order to determine what text to be displayed on your banner. The site offers a very convenient option, allowing you to drag each of your text lines to anywhere you want. It is possible to select between several visual effects for your text, such as distance between letters, shadows, and opacity. There are also four different types of borders and the option to select the output format ( .PNG .JPG or .GIF ).
