The design of a corporate website banner is crucial as it is the first visual element that visitors come into contact with. Especially for computer companies, a well-designed banner should not only attract attention, but also quickly convey the company's core technology and business advantages. This article will explore in depth the design principles, content strategies, technical requirements, visual effects and user experience of computer company website banners to help companies stand out in the fierce market competition.

1. Basic knowledge of Banner image: definition and importance

Banner image, as the "facade" of the homepage of foreign trade websites, bears the important task of displaying the core information of the website and attracting the attention of visitors. It is usually located on the first screen of the homepage and is the first impression of visitors after entering the website. Research data shows that users pay attention to 80.3% of the first screen, so the rational use of this area is crucial to improving user experience and conversion rate.

2. The core role of Banner image

Attract attention: The banner image is located in the most conspicuous position on the homepage, which can quickly attract visitors' attention and guide them to further explore the website.
Display core information: Through banner images, companies can convey the most important product or service information to visitors in a short period of time and enhance brand awareness.
Promote conversion: A well-designed banner image can stimulate visitors' interest and guide them to perform conversion behaviors such as clicks and registrations.

3. Common characteristics of excellent banner images

Strong visual impact : catch the visitor's attention at the first moment through bright colors, unique patterns or animation effects.
Content focus: Each banner image should only convey one core concept or idea to avoid information overload that may confuse visitors.
Color and brand coordination: The color matching should be consistent with the overall style and brand image of the website to enhance brand identity.
Reasonable contrast: Make sure the CTA element contrasts sharply with the background so that it stands out without being too distracting.
Match page theme: The content of the banner image should be closely related to the page theme that the visitor is currently paying attention to in order to increase the click-through rate.

4. Six strategies for designing efficient banner images

Content is king: The copy should be unique and concise, and be able to guide users to perform operations. It should highlight the product theme and corporate brand culture, and enhance visitors' awareness and trust in the brand.
Make good use of CTA buttons: The placement should be right after the copy information to guide visitors to take the next step. The button shape is recommended to be rectangular or circular, and the color should be red, green or yellow with high conversion rate. The button copy should reflect the value and stimulate the visitor's curiosity or desire to buy.
Unified style: The design style of the banner image should be consistent with the overall style of the website to avoid being abrupt. It is recommended that no more than three main colors be used to maintain visual neatness and unity.
Create a storyline: Use banner images to tell visitors a story or show application scenarios to enhance the product's sense of involvement and appeal. Pay attention to the simplicity of information to ensure that visitors can quickly grasp the key points and core information.
Optimize size and loading speed: Choose the appropriate banner size according to the screen size to improve visual effects and user experience. Use image compression tools (such as Tinypng) to optimize image size and reduce the impact of loading time on conversion rate.
Clear operational feedback: Display thumbnails or prompts below the banner image to guide visitors to find the content they are interested in. Design a larger click area to make it easier for visitors to identify and click.
