3 Best Stock Photo Sites
When it comes to developing great content for your site there are two essential components;
1.) The written copy
2.) Company photos and stock images that relate to the written copy
Clients frequently come to us with no photos or poor quality images. Regardless of the situation, here are some great stock photo sites that have vivid images sure to breathe some serious life into your content and your Website.
1.) Think Stock Photos
If you need to acquire some serious images Think Stock has the best payment plan options.
A one month subscription costs $249 and will allow you to download 25 image/day for a total of about 750 images. Or one year subscription costs $199/month with a daily download limit of 25 for a total of 9,125 images. This is the best value for the money. Even if you don’t need to download 25 images every day you can find other images that would have relevance to future projects or content for your site(s).
2.) Stock Xchng
Is good resource as a first line of defense because most of the images are free except for that very top row and the very bottom row. They pull many of their paid images from iStock so chances are any paid images you can find directly from iStock.
