Build Websites FREE

The visual appeal of a website is often dependant on the quality of images used. So, when you build your own site, it’s important to source good images to display your style, your products or your services.

If you can take professional quality photographs yourself then you already have a head-start. But, even then, you need to know how to work with those images to enhance them for use on the Internet…and change the file sizes so your web pages load quickly. See Resizing Pictures.

Here is another fantastic resource from Paige, with a huge list of PLACES TO FIND IMAGES ONLINE. Highly recommended!

The websites below specialize in pictures for websites and other advertising material and this list might come in useful if you need to get some inspiration as well.
