Quick way is create one model with fields, that equals all params. I.e. for
your example - field with welcome text, two fields with banners and 3 fields
for links. So you'll have one record in table with all needed parametrs.
Of course this way isn't acceptable if you'll have over hundred params, but if
it is ~10-20 params - it is the easiest and most suitable option.

 Hi,

 Could please somebody advice how to store application settings and allow to
 edit them via admin panel? Settings are used site-wide, not on per user
 basis.

 This settings have different types ( text, ineteger, images aka banners )
 therefore it looks impossible to create "settings" model and store it in
 "item" - "value" fields.

 From the other hand it looks unreasonable to make a lot of models and put
 one or two rows into each of them.

 What is the best practice for that?

 ps. For example I have to allow configure following things: welcome text, 2
 banners and 3 links to item from foreign application. It is easy to
 hardcode them into template, but it would be very a bit annoying to edit
 the code each time to modify something from it.
