What makes a good banner image? : Advisor Websites

A properly selected banner image can really create an impact and contribute positively to the look and feel of your website; while reinforcing your location, and target market. Selecting high quality images from your location and/or featuring people representative of your clients is generally a good idea.

We recommend banner images for responsive websites to be a minimum of 2000px wide by 1300px tall for the best quality image. Anything less than this size (for either width or height) will result in a blurry image.

In order to accommodate a variety of screen resolutions our platform may crop images slightly in order to ensure your website displays properly on all devices. It is important to select an image that is center focused, or has no main focus, so that the image will be unaffected by cropping.
