Sooner or later, every novice web designer or site owner comes to the idea that he needs high-quality and beautiful site advertising. There are many possibilities and tools for this. But perhaps the most traditional and effective way of such advertising (promotion) of the site is banner advertising. But here the question arises, how to make a banner for the site yourself, since at the initial stage the budget of the site is very limited, and therefore not every owner is ready to pay freelancers for making a banner. It turns out that making a banner for a site is not such a difficult thing and is very similar in technology to such a process as making a header for a site, while we are talking about a static banner.
So, let's start how to make a banner for the site. To do this, we need the Photoshop program, and there is no need to chase the most modern versions, Photoshop 6th version is quite suitable for our purpose. By the way, who does not know how to make a background image for a site, as well as a header for your site, can also use this program for these purposes.
In order to answer the question of how to make a banner for the site, you need to open the program to create our banner or rather its basis. At the same time, it shouldremember that standard banners have several standard sizes. As a rule, banners 468x60, 120x120, 100x100, as well as 88x31 are used on sites. Consider the option of making a banner with a size of 468x60.
After opening the program, click the "file" - "new" tab. After that, in the window that opens, we prescribe the dimensions (height 60 and width 468), while making sure that the units of measurement are pixels. Set the resolution to 150 pixels per inch, and select a transparent background.
Next, you need to place a picture and text on our banner. But first, let's fill our banner with the color you need. To do this, select the fill tool on the left in the toolbar, but before that, be sure to select the desired color (left-click on the upper color square and select the color you need in the palette that opens). And now you can use the fill to paint over the background of the banner in the selected color.
Now let's put the picture on the banner. To do this, first decide on the picture that you will post. It is desirable that it would not represent a complex figure and be, if not a logo, then as similar as possible to it (although a lot depends on the tasks that the banner faces). After the picture has been chosen, by the way, it must have the extension either-j.webp
Now we need some text. To do this, by selecting the “text” tool, we enter the phrase we need and place it by simply dragging it over the picture as we need. After that, it remains to select "save for web" (save as) from the menu and, when saving, select the image format jpg.
But for many banners with text it is not desirable that it be a banner link. How to make a link for your banner and link them. To do this, you need to write the following code on the site that will place your banner (this can also be done in the html editor of the dreamweaver type)
