Stock Photography
We all need a little help at times and when building websites its hard to beat access to millions of Royalty Free Stock images.
You will find some images in our free clipart but for a larger project you will want access to the fullest range of photos and images possible.
You can pay a reasonable amount of money for stock images but we believe in value for money and recommend two of the best, in terms of content and value for money, that are available today: Fotolia and istockphoto.
So now there's no excuse - spruce up your web templates with images that you want.
Fotolia
Fotolia
boasts almost 3 million stock images. These include photos, illustrations,
vector drawings and the very useful 'isolated images'. Images are available in small, medium and large sizes priced at £1, £2 and £3 respectively.
If you compare these prices to some of the better known providers of Royalty Free images you'll see what a bargain you are getting. In fact you can get them even cheaper (25%) if also have a hosting account with 1and1.co.uk.
Fotolia has a great search utility so you should be able to find what you are after. Its free to join so visit www.fotolia.co.uk.
iStockphoto.
Similar to Fotolia, providing millions of images at bargain prices.
iStockphoto images include photos, illustrations, flash and videos.
Again they have a very handy search utility and for those of you with a liking for widgets, some handy software tools.
Images are available in sizes from xsmall to xlarge priced from 1 credit to 10 credits respectively. A credit, at the time of writing was roughly 74p.
Like Fotolia, iStockphoto is free to join.
