A lot of web banners found on Neocities use the size of 88x31, this idea of 88x31 sized banners probably began around October of 1996, from Netscape Communications Corporation, a former subsidiary of AOL, with a banner advertising the now defunct browser, Netscape Navigator.
A lot of websites on Neocities have their own banners. Most banners on Neocities have the dimensions of 88x31 in size such as the examples shown below;
It is important to remember that not all banners follow the rule of using this size, as seen with the banners below;
Having an 88x31 banner that other people can put on their site is a great start for building bridges between people, but before you get to work on making your one, you should think about what it should look like; think about if people will want to put your banner on their site.
Your banner should be as unique as possible and express what your website feels like.
Once you know what your banner will look like, you can get to work on it. You can make your banner in any art program you can get your hands on, some good programs are Paint.NET, GIMP, and Medibang Paint. But if you don't or can't install any of the tools listed here, you can always search the Web for paint tools.
You can find a blank 88x31 base plus more over at A.N.Lucas's website.
If you want to make your banner a GIF, so it moves, you can use the online tool GIF Maker.
