Graphic Design / Web Design Help

I run my own web design company, so if you urgently need help, feel free to contact me by email and I'll see what I can do for you. In my opinion, using free graphics will only serve to cheapen your site's appearance. If you want to "have a go" at creating your own banner, then something like PaintShop Pro is a good paint package to start with. You can download a free trial demo of the software from the address below: http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/ Hope that helps, Paul London Web Design Agency - offering web solutions for small to medium sized businesses.

Do you have any budget to get it done professionally? If so i'd reccomend Ben at yetmore.com If not then maybe do something simple like just an pretty text to start with. Have you tried searching for design forums i'm sure theres bound to be something that will be able to help a beginner. Good Luck!!

Hi Lautone, Paint Shop Pro is good. Have used it for close to 2 years now. Macomedia Fireworks is better, easy to learn, easy to use and offers you more control. In less than 2 or 3 days you could design any logo you see anywhere.

I agree that free graphics do tend to have a certain look to them that makes them obvious as free and then cheapens your business and makes it appear leass professional. I think it would be better to try Paint Shop Pro which is a good package, and create your own - if you aren't artistic or don't have a good eye for colours and what appears professional, it would be better to find a well priced designer rather than cheapen your company with poorly designed banners.
