Overall Satisfaction with Pexels

I used Pexels to help me with the buildout of our company website. We needed some stock photos and videos and didn't want to hire a photographer. Time was a factor, and we did not want to hire someone to take aerial/drone shots of our City Skyline. So we went to Pexels as a resource to see if we could find a few shorts, and low and behold, we did! The purpose is that a strength of our business is the city we are based in, and we wanted to have more City shots to make our brand more attractive outside our city/state.
  • Spectrum of shots available
  • The quality of the shots available
  • The spectrum of subjects that are available.
  • Having the general pictures available
  • Identifying the artist and making the artist accessible.
  • Keeping you abreast of the artists ranking and skill.
  • I could say that we can attribute our increased website visits to a visual additions Pexels provided.
  • Maybe you can attribute the time spent on each page to the visuals provided by Pexels
I think Shutterstock does not have the same quality photos available for free. In addition, I am not sure if they spend as much time trying to uplift the artist taking the photos as they are uplifting Shutterstock as a go-to resource for these photos and videos. I tend to favor organizations that naturally support small businesses as a part of their own business strategy.

I think the best circumstances are where you need to get some quality photos, for free and quickly. It may not be the best place if you need specific shorts to be taken or a specific need. Who knows how long some photos are going to be out there.
