Make
Your Own Websites
This pages has links to websites where you can make your own
gif headers, buttons, windows, banners, etc. None of these sites are
a substitute for learning ImageReady or Photoshop, but they are quick
and at least for the Gif Headers, easy and often offer a wide range
of fonts to choose from.
If you find other useful make your own sites, please e-mail me

Gif Headers
- Cool Archive
Logo generator Easy to use site. Displays font samples, nice
effects. The name says it all. Has a limited customization page.
Saves text as jpegs. My new favorite.
- 3dtextmaker Easy to
use site. Great selection of fonts. Can control color and size,
but turn off the animated effects. Large selection of fonts.
- Flamingtext
A seemingless endless variety of headlines styles and ways to
tweak those styles. Great selection of fonts. You can edit your
header after you have created it.
- Banner Creator
Interesting set of backgrounds. Can have two lines of text.
Graphics
- Gifworks You use this
program to modify gifs you have created in other programs or have
downloaded from free sites. You can crop, rotate, set transparency.
Then, when you are done, you can optimize though not as elegantly
as the Adobe site. Here again, for casual users, you have to wonder
how much a graphics program is really needed.
Buttons
- flamingtext
An amazing site. A seemingly endless variety of buttons to which
you can add your own text. Don't miss this one.
- CoolArchive
button maker Of limited value but can create some very cool
buttons.
- AAA Buttons Not the
easiest to use site, but if you keep at it, there are some very
cool buttons which depend on flamingtext.com for their functionality.
