How to get great images for your website

Stephen Grant-Jones - Sunday, August 26, 2012

One of the most frustrating things I come across when putting together websites is the lack of great images that clients have.

Getting a professional photographer to take shots for a small to medium business can be quite a costly exercise, yet in today's web environment a good set of images is essential.

Unless you have the right to use an image I would highly suggest not using one that you've acquired illegally.

One of the best places I've found to get great images from a large stock is from iStockphoto.

There is an enormous database of great images that you can purchase for very little, enough to put together a nice website without breaking the bank.

Signing up is easy, I've created a video tutorial to get you started and if you use the link provided to sign up you can get 10 free credits to get you started.

Please note that you must use these credits within 30 days or lose them :(

For now, check out the tutorial below or use this link to sign up for iStockphoto.

How does he do it? Well here's an interesting video for $1.99 that shows you how.
