** We strongly recommend using a graphic designer for far better results, but for non-experts who wish to do-it-yourself there are several "easy to use" software programs that can help you make web banners, including but not limited to these options: http://www.bannermakerpro.com/ ---OR--- http://www.easywebbanners.com/

IV. Ad Design Suggestions

Remember that higher quality artwork & website = greater response to your Ad. Please consider the following tips:

1.) Ask us for the frame size (ex: 468x60 pixels) and file size (ex: 119 KB) of your chosen ad type.

2.) Stay simple. Communicate your message quickly and efficiently.

3.) If using photographic images, choose a single-frame (static) ad in .jpg format for best results.

4.) If animating, generally keep your ad to 6 frames or less.

5.) If animating, a standard time setting for each frame is 2.5 seconds to 3 seconds.

6.) Optimize your file size. If you are still over our file size limits, try reducing the number of frames, number of colors, and avoid animations with complex photography.
