Banner

A banner is required for branding the e-commerce site with your project graphics.  This is required only for the gold subscription.

SUBMIT banner

For your banner our goal is to have a great high resolution graphic that can be displayed at the top of your e-commerce store.  We support 3 different banner resolutions, one for desktops a second for tablets and third for mobile devices.

Details:

  • Our preferred format is svg which is a vector graphics format.  Vector graphics scale better while retaining high quality.  If you are able to create vector graphics this is the best option, open source tools like inkscape can produce high quality vector images.
    • We can’t handle svg images with embedded bitmaps.  If your not sure about your image you can check your file by grep’ing it for the key word ‘image’.  If you find an entry for image then it has an embedded bitmap which you’ll need to remove and convert to a vector format.  (Inkscape can do the conversion if needed)
  • For desktop and laptops with high resolution monitors we need a graphic that is 1920 pixels wide and 430 pixels tall.
  • For tablets we need a graphic that is 1024 pixels wide at 430 pixels tall.
  • For mobile devices we need a graphic that is 640 pixels side and 430 pixels wide.
  • Your banner will be anchored at the top center, so when the browser is resized it can be possible for a portion of the graphic on the left, right and bottom to be truncated.  As the browser is made narrower you’ll see it load the alternative images.
  • Design your banner with 15% buffer on the left, right and bottom so that when a small portion is clip it will not impact the design.
    • For example don’t include text that extends to the bottom of the graphic leave at least a 15% margin.  
  • Image size impacts performance so we recommend 72 dpi.
  • If your design scales well to smaller devices such as a tablet or phone then only a single banner is needed.
