Animated GIF Banners
GeneralAnimation within a banner requires more planning and production work. This is because the animation is built of multiple "frames" which are a series of still images all saved in the same file. The multiple frames are displayed in rapid succession that simulates movement - the animation.
- Animation running 10 seconds or less, then loops. (10 frames maximum)
- Provides the ability to show more than one "message." (We suggest no more than 4 "messages" per banner.)
- Animated text effects.
- GIF file format.
- Small file size enabling faster loading/display.
- Price includes one revision.

Advantages of the Animated GIF Format

Disadvantages of the Animated GIF Format
- Animated GIF files with several frames will create larger file sizes, resulting in slightly longer download times, than will a similar Flash SWF file.
