Tips for designing an effective web banner

[hoangvu]

Hello people,

When you open a webpage, it's almost always the banner that gets your attention first. Since this is the case, we all have to agree that banners are essential part of a webpage. They give the first impression to the visitors.
So designing banners has to be taken a little more consideration and careful thoughts.

I need a little help from you guys.My question is not very complicated.

Can you share practical tips on how to design an effective banner?

I hope you guys would take a little of your time on this.

Hi Edmond, when designing a logo these should be put into consideration:
*The Logo should be in connection with organisational objectives.
*The Logo should convey a strong message.
*It should be cute,simple and attractive with good color combinations.

Attractive, catch attention of the eyes.
Short and straight to the point message, call to action.
Do not make anything not related to the landing page or your bounce rate will be high.

I prefer animated banners, you can tell a story to your audience in a way that you can never do with a static image.

not necessarily an eye candy factor - but you should know your target market first before you begin designing your banner.. that's the first connection
