I'm pleased to inform you that we will be providing another round of free advertising to web designers and web design firms on Nairaland. This time, we will provide free advertising worth at least 39,500 naira to be shared by 10 to 20 lucky web designers.

To be considered for the free ad offer, please submit the following items on this thread:
1. A 154 by 95 pixel banner ad in the 24-bit PNG format, which promotes your web design business. It must have a dark-coloured, solid single pixel border all round.
2. A link to an excellent landing page on your official website which primarily promotes your web design business.

We will pick the 10 to 20 best design and landing page combos which are in full complaince with our requirements above, and put them on a page similar to www.nairaland.com/webdesigners. During the last round, many designers submitted ads at the wrong size and we had to manually resize them. We will be more strict this time.

Here are some tips for designing for the 154 by 95 pixel format:
1. Don't use more than 10 words of text. Leave out less relevant details and put them on your landing page.
2. Use attractive images that are meaningful to your prospective clients and are likely to attract their attention.
3. The most important elements of your ad - text or images - should be as big and bold and sharp as possible.
4. Don't design at a different resolution and resize as the last step. The resulting image will by blurry and ugly.

This time, each web designer may submit only one entry. If you submit more than one entry, we will assume that the last one you submitted is the only one you submitted. So send us your very best and most compelling design!

Mr President!

I mean Mr. Seun, why are you limiting the applicants to web designers only?

What about those of us that want to promote other businesses by running beautiful banners created with Photoshop.

I am trigger happy with Photoshop, and itching to pull the trigger on this ad campaign, so please open one for all sorts of businesses so that people like me can pull the trigger.

Thanks for the opportunity.

VERY GOOD QUESTION! I hate jumping into a "band-wagon" just because an umpire has blown the whistle. It's not how far but how WELL!

I won't be surprised if that quote becomes hidden and i'm given a ban by **** for "Derailing the thread and constituting nuisance on the NL forum" just like i was in the Investments section for speaking my mind!

great idea with hidden agenda.

You can call them to ask them. You can check their responses when I asked the same question here: [url]nairaland.com/1230614/6#14918631[/url]

There is an ad for web designers that is shown on every page on Nairaland if you're using a PC. That ad is on a slot worth 79,000 naira a week. When you click it, you will find yourself on this page: www.nairaland.com/webdesigners with all the web design ads, and hopefully you'll check out a couple of them before hitting the back button.

Your ad is designed as if the most important thing on it is your logo and the name of your company, which is not true. I think the most important thing is actually a statement of what makes your firm different from and better than other web design firms. Ridiculously low prices? Fast turnaround? Fantastic after-sales services and support? Do you specialize in the design of a particular type of website? Do you have a testimonial from a particularly notable customer? Your ad will be on the same page as 10 to 20 other ads, so you will need to differentiate your firm from the rest of the pack to attract the type of customers that you are best equipped to serve. And you will need to emphasise that difference in your ad. This advice should help other web designers as well. Good luck!

Thanks. It's just most designers are too busy or focused on the creative side rather on the business aspect of their jobs. Learn from this folks.
