14 DAY TRIAL // Everywhere we turn our head, we see banners. Almost every site on the internet must have a banner. They usually are small-sized animations which make publicity of a certain thing like a product, a program, a firm, a corporation, a website, a service etc. Nowadays, banners on the internet are the key to a successful advertising.
A banner must be created in an original way so that the first thing that we see when we open a website has got to be it. The place where is positioned on the site is very important. If the banner is placed on the top of the website, nobody will miss to see it. If it is placed on the bottom of the page, there is a big possibility for the visitors not to observe it and the message of your banner will not be received.
The colors that the banner is made of must be chosen with a high grade of attention. Otherwise, that little piece of art is compromised from the start and it will become a kitsch. The eyes of the person that meet the banner must be satisfied of what they see. If the colors are selected randomly, the visitors of the site that contains the banner would want to leave as soon as possible and your message will not be received. These little details guarantee you the success of what the banner wants to transmit.
There are a lot of types of banners. Most of them have a rectangular shape. Some of them have a character, a person or just something written. A banner is a successful one if the message was positively received by the visitors and they would want to know more about the product.
