There is an old saying: ‘A picture speaks a thousand words’. And it can be very true with website design which normally starts with having a great header graphic. With appropriate images that blend well to your site, they can bring your site page to life and they add an extra professionalism that is indescribable with text alone.
So, where do you get great images from?
Firstly, here are the two places you should consider to avoid ...
The first one is Google Images. You can avoid most images but not all. And avoid at all cost on images that belong to other people’s web sites. Why? The reason is simple. Grabbing images from other people’s sites, even Google images, tends to be illegal. Or I can say even illegal indirectly is also consider as a copyright theft. I’m sure you don’t want to get into a fight with one of those upstanding citizens who have chosen the legal profession as a way of extracting money from people.
If you can’t steal them from Google, where can you get your hands on some high quality photographs without having to empty your wallet at the same time? It’s not exactly true that you never get anything for free. Here are two great resources you can consider that worth checking out for free legal images.
