Tess Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 HI all!! I need to find a place to make a web banner. Any suggestions? I did a search and the only thing that came up was a place that charges 10.00 for a GIF format. I would like a GIF, but need a Jpg for sure. Thanks!!--Tess Quote
drcobane Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Tess Are you looking just to make a hot link banner? Or are you looking for a webring?Below is the banner I use for city of heroes. If you have an Internet service provider they should provide you space for a personal webpages. Then use paint or gimp to create and edit your image. Below is my banner and I used gimp. The Kanji in my banner Says "Reign of Shingen" or in english "Reign of the Compassionate eye"If it worked you should see a picture of yosimte national park Quote
RobinInOR Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 $10 doesn't sound bad for someone designing a graphic for you from scratch. A web banner is just a standard graphic that's a standard size - 468 x 60 I think is the usual full banner, and you want to keep it small - 10-15K if not less...And yes, you'd want a gif if you want it animated (seems like they all are now-a-days).

drcobane Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 True the amber one is bigger shrank it down though.PNG is same size as a jpeg and is becoming easier and more available. If you have a graphic design school or clases near you you may find a student to do it for you for the same price or lower. 10.00 form scratch beging to end is damn good. Quote
Bobbie Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Tess.Give Candy a try over at CLC Graphics. Here is her link: http://www.clcgraphics.com/Services.htmShe is really nice to work with and her prices are great. I had her do an animated banner for me and it cost $10. She also does static ones for $5.HTH Quote
Tess Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 Thanks all!! I am looking to get one for my new merchant account. It lets me customize my shopping cart, but it also creates its own little store for me in their database. I checked it out after making my buttons for some of my things, and it looked really plain without a banner. I have also had some use for it in the past to link on to other websites. So I figured I may as well get one going! I may just pay the 10 and make my life that much simpler!! Thanks for the links too!! Quote
