how do I make a banner for my website?

Can anyone recommend any good (free-ware) software for helping in this process!?

That’d be great!

I recommend the GIMP to anybody looking to do any pixel-based artwork. It’s powerful, it’s free, and you can do animated GIFs using it.

www.gimp.org

actually paint from your windows is a pretty good one to use
if you are not making one that’s too complicated
and it’s better to save it in gif file then jpg in paint i mean
since there isn’t that many color anyways
