What am I doing wrong with my banner font

[Justin Phillips]

Okay I have made several banners with the name of my company on them. They of course look great in Photoshop, but when I get them up on the site they get a little rough around the edges.....literally. I went back to the drawing board and found a good web font (Georgia) and changed the logo to that font, put it up and it looks a lot better but still a little rough.

Can anyone give me any input as to what I am doing wrong. I would just like nice sharp text for the name of my company. You can look at the page at www.phillipsphotostudio.com (http://www.phillipsphotostudio.com).

Thanks for any feedback!

Try anti-aliasing your fonts.

Thanks for the quick response, AA was set to sharp, I changed it to crisp just to see if it changes anything.

Ensure GIF images are saved with sufficient colours to account for edge aliasing (GIF can have 256 colours, you may be reducing to a too low value).
