It is difficult to find great stock photo sites. There are several sites out there that advertise they are free or cheap and in truth they’re only cheap quality or spam. I am anxious to check out Fotolia and what they have to offer. From your post they seem very user friendly. Thank you 🙂
Fotolia looks really good. I love their royalty free stock images… very professional and high quality!
Although I don’t do a lot of web design, but Fotolia is definitely a good resource to check out when I need some photos for my website. Cool. 🙂
Looks really good, easy to browse through the categories.
I’ve used Fotolia a few times and if you need a couple of pictures I think they’re great. But if you need hundreds of pictures I do think that they become pretty expensive.
But other than that, they’re my favorite place to buy pictures.

Yupe, Fotolia is great. Another great stock image website which I like is 123rf.com. Check it out if you have a minute!
I use Fotolia for many of my photo images but recommend the monthly susbcription as it is cheaper than Istockphoto who are quite pricey but offer a wider choice. For pics Fotolia probably is one of the best. However with video no one can still beat Istockphoto that I have found so for. Anyone any other suggestions for video’s?
Your blog is very interesting and I like to read it!
