Okay, most of the times banners are the things that go on top of the page. Most of them are pretty long to they take almost all the width of the page. It's something to show what the website's about. It should include the name of the website and a pretty good image to give you an idea of what it's of.
First, you make an image. My banners are usually 972 px wide and 208 px high. Some people like to make them higher and thinner though, it's all up to you. Banners can be made with mostly everything there is for images. I do my own at Adobe Photoshop CS, but then I edit them at ImageReady if I want animations. You can just skip the part about animations. Just make a good banner.
For making banners, you can use pictures or create your own backgrounds and foregrounds. You can also add stuff like text and pictures to a background you found in the internet or do the opposite and add pictures from the internet to your own background. The possibilites are pretty unlimited, as you see. If you want to put it in the internet, you need it to be an html so just get a good host. For example, ripway.com or imageshack.us and upload your image. They will give you a website you can use. Remember to change the format before hosting it to jpg or another readable format.

Traditional banners are just images. There are a lot of interactive banners now, with the oldest school technology being animated gifs, and more recently Flash and DHTML.
Basically you need to decide what you want, and look for a client that allows you to author that format. For image formats, the standard is Adobe Photoshop, although people also use Paintshop Pro, and if you're unable to afford either of those, there's always the free GIMP.
For Flash you pretty much need, well Flash. Macromedia was bought not too long ago by Adobe.

There might be some free on line banner making sites if you search around. Xara used to let you make simple banners on line free but they stopped doing it a while ago. They still make software specifically for the purpose, though. You can try it out and see what you think.
Here are the links:
