Pro Tip Lindsay Hardy

Say goodbye to clip art. Say hello to Unsplash.

Back in the day of Microsoft publisher, clip art was all the rage. Fortunately, those days have passed and we have some much better tools to help get our ideas across. 

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Unsplash.com. Unsplash is a gorgeous collection of royalty-free photography that uses a creative commons zero license to provide great, free images for websites like yours. “Blogs, art, book covers, tshirts, and more — paid or unpaid — they’re all allowed under the license.”

Our usage recommendations for this resource: Unsplash photos are large and professionally shot. They make excellent banner, blog or carousel images and will provide a feel for your content that can be hard to convey with just words. To find a photo, use the the search feature and browse for a specific topic or an adjacent topic that will complement your content. Then click on the image, download and add it to your site. Your users will appreciate. :)

A quick note: We love to see what you’re building on your sites. If you create a post that you think is particularly cool with this tool or something similar, shoot us a note so we can enjoy it too :)
