Images can drastically alter the atmosphere and impact of your site. The hard part is finding images that don’t violate copyright. Fortunately there are some reasonably priced image resources for those of us working on limited budgets.

Stock.xchng offers photos and illustrations for free. Most can be used on personal or commercial sites. Most images are large enough to also be used on print media.

Stockxpert offers quality photos and illustrations starting from only $1US. Images are also available through subscription.

morgueFile offers photos and artwork free for commercial and personal use. It doesn’t have a mouseover feature to view images in a larger size, however it does contain a large number of quality images.

iStockphoto does offer images from $1US and have a dollar bin strictly for lower cost images.

Vectorstock offers vector images from $1US and also has a free section.

If you need current photos of news or entertainment events Picapp offers free photos and has a WordPress plugin which allows you to search their photos from your post admin page.

Of course remember to read all copyright and license agreements.
