Stock content is king
I'm sure you've heard the expression "content is king". This means that content is the most important part of any website or app. Even if your website looks beautiful, if it doesn't have good content then nobody will want to read it or visit your site.
Not all stock content is created the same
As a designer or developer, you can easily find stock photos and videos on the internet. But not all of those are created equal! You might want to consider looking for free stock media that fits your needs:
Stock photos are still images that have been captured by a professional photographer with high-quality equipment. They're great for use in web design, where you need just one image per page.
Stock videos are short clips of people or objects performing specific actions—for example, walking down a sidewalk or riding on roller skates—and they can be used as elements within other projects (like websites).
Benefits of using stock photos and videos
There are many benefits to using stock photos and videos in your projects:
They’re high quality! The content we curate have been created by professional photographers who know how to capture the best possible shot, ensuring that you get what you need for your project.
You can use them in both commercial and personal projects! As long as you aren’t selling or distributing our content, feel free to use it however you want—the sky is the limit!
It is free to use our curated stock content in your projects.
You can use a lot of these videos in your projects without paying a fee or signing up for anything. For some sources there is no need to credit the company that created these videos, nor are there any restrictions on how you may use them in your projects. Some of the clips are free to use as long as they're used in accordance with their Creative Commons license, which means that anyone can download and use their content for free in their own work (as long as it's not for commercial purposes). In other words, there's no need to credit the resource where you got it. In some cases, don't even have to give a shout-out! Just go ahead and enjoy yourself!
Wrapping Up
Hopefully, we have convinced you to give stock videos and images a try. There is no doubt that the benefits far outweigh any downsides, especially when it comes down to being able to use them in your project without paying anything extra. It's really one of those win-win situations that we all love!
