How To Make Good Headers

secretagentwilly · 2008-06-15, 11:15 AM

I mean the graphics that go across the top of the header portion of the freesite to make it look more professional, like with a fancy graphic...I've seen a few here and there that look pretty cool...but running through a few link lists for examples, everything was mostly just the title...I'll stick with that...thanks everyone...

That's exactly what I meant...

Supposedly.... - "it looks professional" - , but has anyone said/quoted/statistically proven that they sell more?

Don't fall into traps of doing things just because they look good or someone else does it(eg: category recips

)

Concentrate on making the sale.. not feeling good about your site

I wouldn't say making headers is a waste of time. They probably won't bring you any more sales, but it does help keep your designs fresh.

To answer easymama's original question, the scope of creating catchy graphics is just too big to give simple recommendations beyond really learning your software. If you know Photoshop there's nothing you can't do.

Just to give an example, this is about as complicated as I personally would ever go. If you know layers, masking and how to slice an image it isn't difficult at all with a little practice. Most of the time I just use a simple text graphic for the title or just plain text.
