Graphics: The graphical elements in the cheap banners are tricky to modify or change. If you want to replace images in the banner at a later stage, you won't be able to do so.

Sizes: Cheap banner templates will only be available in some specific sizes. You cannot change the dimensions or else image quality will be destroyed.
