Additional Tips:

  • Proper Licensing: Ensure you have secured the proper licensing for each image you use. Images found through Google may not be free for use.

  • Free Stock Images: Use free stock image sources such as Unsplash, AllTheFreeStock, Magdeleine, Snapwire Snaps, and Jay Mantri.

  • Hire a Photographer: Consider taking your own photos or hiring a photographer if royalty-free stock photos are insufficient.

  • Purchase Quality Photos: If needed, buy high-quality photos from sources like Lightstock and Thinkstock. Ensure you purchase the appropriate credits.

  • High-Resolution: All photos uploaded to the site should be high resolution (minimum 800px x 600px).
