How can you make your website eye-catching?  How can you add pizzazz?  And how can you get your message across without doing any writing?  Include an image on your website! You don’t have to take the photo or even know the photographer.  You don’t need to spend a lot of money, and it doesn’t take a lot of time.  How?  Choose an image on a stock image site online.

Stock images are photographs, illustrations and film footage that are used for personal and commercial use.  There are many stock image companies on the web, some offer millions of images for sale.  In fact, some of the companies archives are so valuable and delicate they are housed in a place called Iron Mountain, in a cave 200 plus feet underground and are refrigerated!

Now you might be thinking, “Hey, if there are millions of images to choose from how am I ever going to find what I’m looking for?”  And then you might bag the whole idea.  But wait!  These online sites have easy to use search tools to help you find that perfect match.  For instance, on some sites you can specify how many people you want in a picture, their sexes, the dates the image was taken like 1935-1941, the location, the photographer, the point of view like aerial or from space, and whether you want the orientation to be horizontal, vertical or panorama.  With all of those specifications, you don’t have to worry about having too many images to choose from, you need to worry about not having enough!

So what kind of images are available that can help you brighten up your website?  Anything from a toothless woman grinning as she comes out the front door of an alcohol detox center, to pictures of plain ol’ products like one ton pick-up trucks and hair wigs.

Including stock images on your website can make it stand out and get noticed.
