Switching from iStockPhoto

It was quite a while since our web design agency wanted to switch from iStockPhoto to another royalty-free stock library.

The reasons are

a) ever increasing prices for image purchases

b) somewhat awkward  search

I like this article that summarises the alternatives.

At the bottom of the article is a poll and you can see that what annoys people about iStockPhoto most is the price:

region-capture-1

At Moove, we will be testing the alternatives and I will post our findings here on my blog.

    Hi Ilona,
    I can also suggest my comprehensive microstock agencies list sorted by alexa rank, just to check some other alternatives.
