Content for site, Pics

[Evolution]

I'm working on a site, Just a lil project in my spare time, And need some content, Just pictures..

I would of ''borrowed'' them from google but apparently some copyright laws get in the way

I did a search and found this site istockphoto.com has anyone here used this site? Or know of any other alternatives...

They seem a bit pricey £16 at the end with VAT for 2 medium sized pics

Thanks

For free stock photos try stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site


iStockPhoto.com and stockxpert.com are the better paid for ones, imo.

I have used fotolia.com alot, medium is £1.80 if you dont register, but if you register and buy credits it's alot cheaper.

They also have a big free photos section.

istock isn't that pricey and for a minisite you wont need medium images.

As an example, this image (not mine):
Royalty Free Stock Photo Image: Beautiful country estate. | iStockphoto.com
The xsmall photo is 428 × 280 px which will only cost you 1 credit.

Did I say I wanted work for free?

I've used iStockphoto quite a bit over the years and most web suitable images are 1 credit, so they are not expensive as you think. Remember that they also sell to paper media, who need very large high res images.We just need diddly little things.

Just bear in mind that credits expire after 1 year - which seems to be when I next NEED an image urgently!

Scuse the self-promotion, but I compiled a short-list of free stock image sites, here -

Beauty Salon Marketing - Salon Advertising - Free stock photos for websites, posters, leaflets

As DaveH said, stock.xchng have the best range

Cheers, Jon

Very nice site, I've been using iStock for years even for non-commercial ventures, this could easily save me money in that department
