Real Estate Tech Gadget - Easy Design Tool for Blog Banners and Website Leaderboards

If you are looking for an easy web-based design tool to create a blog banner or website leaderboard, then you may want to take a look at www.bannerfans.com. The interface is easy to use - it is definitely a WYSIWYG type of interface. Design it on the screen, save the banner, and then retrieve the html code or direct link or download it as a jpeg.

Here are some new blog banners:

Let us know what you think of the new look. We are still experimenting but I definitely like this new tool. It is much easier than trying to do it myself using Microsoft Publisher.

Ryan- Bookmarked! I love that ease of use! Super friendly for all my non geeky Realtor clients:) Thanks!

Thats pretty good. I wonder if you can get an image in there easy enough?

Ryan - I'm putting you on a bookmark too....will be checking back regularly for these tips. Thanks for sharing your cool stuff. ;-)

Hey Ryan, Bookmarked, me too! Thanks for all of the cool tools!

Katerina - I'm a "geekie" Realtor - I just don't have the skill set to use the more complicated programs so I look for ease of use - plus it's free. I guess that makes me a cheap, geekie Realtor.

Shane - It does have an option to upload an image. I haven't used it yet. That's above this cowboys paygrade.

Terri - I love the tech tools... It is a blindspot... followed closely by debating everything to the point of exhaustion.

Tip - AR recommends 960 x 130 - I don't know about anyone else but that left a 1/2 inch black gap on the right side so I increased width dimension to 1000 pixels.

Marian - My pleasure - I like to share what I find...

You know what I cant figure out is how you get a header to fit when you consider everyones resolutions. I want to add one to my site and to my blogs but on different displays it gets weird looking. Bleh.. too much to figure out!

Thank you and so professional looking those banners are.

Shane - There is a program that puts your site into 20+ browsers so you can see how it looks. I don't have a good grasp on the issue - I just know I had problems with the recommended pixel width.

Brenda - Thanks. I was looking to update my blog headers and this just popped up at the right time. It made it much easier to do.

Ryan - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I have been looking for an easy banner tool, and haven't found it. You just saved the day! Thanks! (Did I say that already?)

Follow me on Twitter! - http://www.twitter.com/timwhitehomes

Hey Tim - I'm glad the post helped...

This looks so easy a cave man Amanda can do it. Thanks!

Wow - I think Amanda just called me a caveman... I like the new nickname

Nice website find. Tools like this that are easy to use are great! Thanks for the info.

Tristan - Thanks. I subscribe to a number of tech feeds - I had heard about the site but didn't try it until I had a need. My problem is now solved.

MAR

Ryan, thanks for sharing this COOL tech tool! I wonder if it can do graphical backgrounds? I'll check it out and see!

Regina - It does photographs ---- but I went with text. I'm sure someone smarter and more patient tha me can probably figure it out...

I like it. Thanks for the site it will come in handy. I have a graphic artist working on some for my website. Maybe I'm wasting my money!

Ryan,

This looks like a nice tool for the blog, can you add photos?

Ryan, looks like a quick and easy way to make up a banner.Thanks for the link.

Thanks for sharing, looks like a great tool to learn and use, plan on working with it later today!

Ryan

Thanks; you just saved me a lot of time.

Sincerely

Tom Braatz

Ryan, you are awesome with these great tools that you find! Like you I have used Publisher and some other tools but this one looks great. I like the look of what you created - Also wanted to drop by and wish you a very Happy St. Patrick's Day my Irish friend! ~Anne Marie

Laura - Thanks for reading. As a new company, we try to conserve every buck possible and tend to do things for ourselves when we can. Down market and down sized ... best thing that ever happened for us. We are #1 in listings and sales in our 2 primary submarkets. Making our move now on our next 2 submarkets.

Don - Yes, you can. I haven't yet - starting with baby steps.

Michael - Complete those banners in record time - 3 in 30 minutes.

Ken - Thanks for reading. I love tech tools and like posting news that we can all use.

Tom - Did I save you time? Or, did I just open time for a Lars walk on your calendar today?

Anne Marie - Yes, I use Microsoft Publisher for everything... Graphic artist and web designers laugh at me when I make this admission - but Publisher is so easy to use. This site was nice because it gave me links and html code. Thanks - Irish friend...Eist moran agus can beagan! (motto for your recent post - bit of Irish wisdom)

Ryan,

I still do not havew a banner but plan to use what you recommend up above. Thanks for sharing.

Mike - thanks for reading and i hope it helps

Ryan - This is an great little tool. I love playing around with this kind of stuff! Thank you! I've bookmarked this for sure!! :)

Donna - Obviously, I love this stuff too... but I can justify it by saying it is FREE and saves us TIME.

Ryan - Thanks for this great find! I with you...I like free and easy :)

Maria - I hope you comeback - I like free and easy tech tools and post frequently about the one's I've tried and liked.

Great tool and very easy to use! Thanks

Thanks Ryan. I have been looking for this type of program.

Shane: This is great! Thanks.

Reid & Jacque: Glad it was of help.

Stephanie: I'm jealous of all you guys in Austin. Great city and wonderful weather... Thanks for reading.
