Two Entrepreneurs Launch New Web Site For The Longest Web Banner In The World

Two designers have just launched a new website, to create a web banner, with the hopes of becoming the longest web banner in the world.

Two designers Rakesh Patel and Tara Roskell, based in Northamptonshire, England have just launched a new Web Site, with a unique new concept to create a Web banner, with the hope it will grow to become the longest Web banner in the world.

The idea of a Web banner is seen on Web sites every day and made it into an entity in its own right. Users can upload own adverts or personal messages to the banner. In theory the banner has the potential to grow infinitely long.

Patel and Roskell met on a graphic design course at Nene, College, Northampton about 15 years ago, both now have a graphic design businesses. The idea began with a telephone conversation between the two designers who had been looking for a project to collaborate on. The banner home page features random images and adverts so whether a person is first to place an image or the last, the image should have equal amount of exposure. Each image can have a URL link and short description which can be organised by category or alphabetically.

The banner is for both for business and personal use. It is hoped that individuals will place announcements or messages of congratulations on the banner, maybe even a proposal of marriage. The banner has been built allowing it to theoretically grow indefinitely.

“We kept the price of space on the banner to a minimum (from £5 to £100), so anyone can afford to have an image on the banner. We both have small businesses so we know how expensive it can be to advertise, it also allows the individual to be able to have space for personal messages too,” said Patel. “It would be great if one day the longest Web banner in the world could appear in the Guinness Book of Records.”
