I’ve been using Banner Maker Pro* for a few years now and I think it’s just the trick for webmasters like me who don’t have the know-how or the budget to use those high priced graphics programs (ie. several hundred $).

Although my version is outdated, I find it does the job well enough for what I need. And it helps that it’s easy to use!

Here are some features:

• Able to use fonts and images that you download - not limited to what’s offered in the software
• The ability to use images as backgrounds as well as add them to the banner itself
• Customize your graphic sizes - create buttons, banners & header graphics
• Create both animated and static graphics - easy peasy
• Create your own custom graphics to use as web page backgrounds

15 day free trial*, and if you decide to buy it - the cost is only $39.99 (U.S.).
