Graphical ads can be used in many ways to promote your business or organization. They are typically designed for online marketing in directories, webrings, or as an email inclusion or signature file. Ads can be small or large, and horizontal or vertical in layout.
Gif animated promotional ads were used often in the past to provide visual interest through interactivity, but they are not as popular as they once were since the visual quality of gif animation is not as high as those designed in flash and some security settings will block them (my computer does not show them which is why I have not samples provided). The primary advantage of gif animation is that they are small in file size so quick loading. We don't create gif animations, but we can apply one to your site (there are many free ones) if you desire this.
Flash technology is unquestionably the most effective way to create animated promotional ads. Flash banner ads allows for the both the image and text of the ad to be interactive, but unlike gif animation flash allows for higher visual quality and enhanced transition effects. Flash also allows for the animation to loop continuously, or to play once and stop.
