How to Code a Banner Template

A banner is a HTML image advertisement that links to a destination URL. When a banner template is obtained using a banner design software or online banner creator, the HTML code for the banner is normally generated at that time. However, in the event you're using a image file as a banner, such as a ".gif," ".jpg," or ".png," then coding the banner involves first creating and then combining the HTML for both the image and the destination link.
