Your hometown Voice newspaper boasts two websites with thousands of archived features and photos, local and state news stories, interactive weblogs, community announcements and the most thorough down-county events calendar there is.
Our sites are optimized for search engines, which means people who want to find something out about Takoma Park or Silver Spring are routinely directed to one of our websites as a top choice.
Wouldn't you like to benefit from our hard-won web traffic? The Voice now offers web ads that will help you tap a new market for your growing business.
Button up
We'll design customized, square web buttons like the sample at left for a flat fee.
Included in the fee is a one-month rental of a web space for your button ad.
You may choose to have your button positioned on one of our homepages or on another page on our site, such as the calendar or resource guide.
For no extra charge, your ad can be linked to your own website, or to an on-demand browser window containing more information, a coupon or a copy of your print advertisement
that will open when the user clicks on it.
Click-click-click-click
We think your ads make our site look great, so we've made our button ads affordable, offering even deeper discounts to our print advertisers.

Some fine print
We budget about half an hour to design a web button ad like the ones you see on this page margin. It is helpful if you have a JPEG or GIF file of your logo that we can use as a starting place, but not necessary.
If you prefer to submit your own button design, it must be a GIF or JPEG file, 130 pixels square at 72 ppi. You may purchase multiple ad spaces in order to run a "tower" ad, which must be 130 pixels wide but may be as tall as 2 or 3 ads, where space is available. We reserve the right to change your submitted web ad if it does not fit our format.
An additional design fee of $25 may be applied to a web ad order requiring re-work in excess of 30 minutes.
If you don't have a website to link to, you may request that your web ad include an on-demand window that contains a web version of your larger print ad. This is available at no extra charge. If you are not a display ad customer, we can design such a window for you. Additional design fees will apply, at $25/hour.
