These free online banner makers are simple and fantastic! When you want to advertise on the internet, it’s very good to create some smashing banners for your business.

Why do you need banners?

The Internet is a visual environment. And in my opinion, visuality has a great effect on conversion. So, before you add a banner to your website, think about which banner you would click. Are that the flashing banners? Or do you prefer a quiet one? The ones with sales and offers? Or limitations?

Why do people click on your banners and why not?

It’s of greater interest to investigate why people are NOT clicking on your banners. How can we optimize the banner so that people are more likely to interact with it? At the bottom of this post, I have some banners created and I ask you to make a choice. Which banner would you click and which banner would you skip?

Ad banners DIY

Nowadays it’s easy to make your own banners. There are great free to use online programs where you can do it yourself. Take pen and paper and make a sketch of your banner to be. Which colors? The size? With a photo? Or an image? Just text? With pricing or a call to action button?

With all banner makers, you can upload your own images or use one of them.

Is your concept ready?
