Basic information
The Pangea Design team can create custom banners on request (including design and code). The banners are fully responsive, meaning they will look attractive on devices with different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, and desktop).
Banner requests can be submitted by individual language services. Banners are commonly requested for the following purposes:
- Promote a special project or a collection of content on a particular topic.
- Promote a mobile app or social media account.
- Provide guidance on how to bypass website blocking.
Sizes and formats
The Pangea Design team can create banners in the following sizes / formats:
Full-width banners
Full-width banners for placing on pages (such as Sections and Infopages). These are often decorative (non-clickable) banners, used as page headers.
Article banners
Smaller banners for placing into the body of content pages (such as articles). These banners normally function as links to other pages.
Single-column banners
Single-column banners for placing on pages (such as Sections and Infopages). These banners normally function as links to other pages.
Request a responsive banner
To request a new responsive banner for your service, follow the link below:
Ensure Graphic / Infographic Request is selected. Under Graphic Type, select Graphic.
Please include the following details in your request:
- Any images / artwork to include on the banner (can be attached to the ticket)
- The localized text to include on the banner (including the text for any buttons)
- The URL for the link (if the banner will include a link to another page)
Display a responsive banner
After the Pangea Design team has prepared your banner, it will be saved in your site in Pangea CMS. The content type is Snippet. The name of the Snippet always includes the issue ID for the graphics request in Jira (for example, GR-2080). This lets you conveniently search for the Snippet in Pangea.
