A banner ad (or web banner), is an advertisement displayed on a web page. The advertisement consists of an image (.jpg, .png, .gif, .svg) or a multimedia object (usually Flash or HTML5). Banner ads can be static or animated.
Static banner ads are just simple images you can click on and get to the website or landing page of the advertiser.
Animated banner ads are a type of digital advertising created using modern HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript code.
The purpose is the same as for the static banner ads “Get noticed and make sure the user clicks on them”.
