This is a post dedicated to those who already have their own website because a banner, one that does not have one, hardly does anything about it. A banner is a kind of logo (see sites to create a logo, a button or a button) that is used to advertise online on other sites
Banners are almost always seen running on websites that describe a site, software or service with the aim of attracting visitors to a site like this, clicking on this banner to access and look at another web page.
The better the banner is, the more clicks you attract in your favor and, in theory, it leads more people to see their work.
It thus becomes one of the main promotional tools used on the internet and are distributed and published by all online advertising affiliate companies.
Those who have a site can therefore think of promoting their business by asking others to be able to put their banner on their web page.
Clearly he will have to pay a price if he wants to keep that banner for a certain period of time and thus will have to sustain an investment for which an immediate return is expected.
So, an important factor to give value to your advertising campaign is to design a banner that attracts the visitor's eye and that brings as many visits as possible to your site or information page of what you want to promote.
To design a nice banner then you should turn to a professional graphic designer, however there are sites that allow the guided creation of banners with web applications that are easy to use and that give very good results.
So let's see the best sites to create and generate banners to use for your advertising campaign or to use as logos.
1) Adobe Spark is one of the simplest professional and free banner generators. The guided creation starts from the choice of the size of the banner, the choice of background colors which can be two shades, the text to be displayed, the border and the graphic effects. The generator allows you to use up to four different lines of text, all of which have formatting and adjustable positioning. Every time you make a change you can see the preview of the banner in real time. In the background you can also put your own image to upload to the computer even if it must be well defined with the colors because otherwise an illegible mess is produced.
The bag I honestly do not know what it is used for, it can probably be useful to create a contrast in case the colors of the banner coincide with those of the site where you are going to place. There are several interesting effects that can be applied but certainly the dynamic effects such as the flashing writing must be ignored. After finishing, the banner is uploaded to ImageShack, and you can request the HTML code to embed it in a forum or website.
2) PureSilva BannerMaker is a web application that is always very simple but with more options available. The BannerMaker website provides a lot of images to be placed as a background or to be superimposed on the text or to be placed side by side. You can change the font formatting, insert shadow and light effects, create a border, and upload your own images.
At the end you have to save the image and upload it to a photo hosting site.
3) Canva is quite similar to Adobe Spark, with a similar tabbed interface and with many of the same features. Canva also offers pre-filled templates, backgrounds specifically designed to create large, professional-quality banners, organized into categories so that you can find the image suitable for the theme of the activity to be sponsored. You can then modify the characteristics of the banner, the text and the formatting.
4) Another excellent site for creating a banner is Banner Fans, a complete tool for creating elegant advertising images. The banner can be created and customized according to everyone's needs by selecting the size, layout, shadows, text and font, colors, borders and effects. You can also add a personal image to the background and customize the colors and effects. Once the creation is complete, you can download the image or download the code to insert the banner on a web page.
5) BannerSnack has rich options, effects and animations. You can upload images on your PC, choose fonts, sizes and more with different possibilities and solutions. You can also create flash effects by using multiple banners together, thereby establishing how long each is displayed and adding transition effects.
6) Google WebDesigner is the app that Google makes available for those who want to advertise on Adwords, so that they can create and customize the banner to be displayed. The program, free to download, is very professional and complete with every tool to create the best image. In this way you can have your own banner to use for the next advertising campaign, without spending additional money in designing it.
7) Fotor provides templates to create standard, horizontal or vertical or square banner sizes. You choose the size of the banner, the image, the text, the font, the background, the borders, the style and all the graphic settings.
