So, so, SO many people ask "how can I create my own banner to promote my business?"

My answer is easy. Just buy them from me! But if you're dead-set on making your own, let me help!

Here are some sites that help you build one online - I've rated them (not in order). There aren't a LOT on this list, but it's a place to start! If you have some good ones, comment me!

Pros: Lots of options.

Cons: It was extremely difficult to figure out what setting did what. I had a hard time making a decent banner so the one above is the one generated by their default settings.

Pros: Extra effects to choose from. Provides source code and image hosting for link-exchanges. Overall a decent service!

Cons: Lots of settings. You really need to take some time to tinker with things to get exactly what you want. Not for those who need instant gratification. Banner also displays the MBB logo.

Pros: Provides flash animation banner. Lots of options. Easy to use

Cons: Not everyone accepts flash. I can't even upload it here. It displays their logo on the bottom.

So overall there ARE some options, but for a few bucks you can get something nice. And custom. And fancy schmancy. Check out my portfolio and see whatcha think. And the prices are so amazing you may just fall right over in your chair from the sheer excitement of it all.
