"A prompt, professional service at a highly competitive rate."

A lot of people use stock graphics simply because they can not afford custom web graphics. At any rate, custom designed web graphics give you more options to make your website look exactly how you want it to look, so when it boils down to it, yes, custom graphics are better. When dealing with stock graphics sometimes the colors of your site and the graphics don't jive. This holds the possibility of making the site look unprofessional.

When you have your graphics custom designed, your web graphics designer can make the colors match perfectly according to the theme or color used on your site which will make your website look more professional.

Sometimes graphics that you obtain from stock companies do not come in the size that you want. In such a case you have two options:

1. To alter the size, or
2. To choose something else. When the size of a graphic is altered, sometimes it becomes blurry, which again, can make your site look unprofessional.

On top of that, sometimes the terms and conditions of a stock company violate the act of altering the graphics in any way, so altering the size or color of the graphic might be against their terms which can run into some copyright issues.

When custom designing web graphics, the web designer has the talent and skill to produce the graphics in any size that you want making the need to alter the size go away. They can make sure that the pixels are right to produce crisp, clear graphics that you will be proud to display on your website.

Occasionally when searching for stock graphics, you just can't find exactly what you need. Hiring a custom designer is about the only option that you have.

Overall, the use of custom web graphics opens the door to creating a professional website. An experienced graphic designer is artistic on top of knowing the basic concepts of visual representation. They use appropriate color themes and design elements such as typography, layout and shapes that are necessary to producing great graphics that will add value to your website and make your business look professional.

When using stock graphics, you basically give up the professionalism altogether by dealing with the graphics that you find that best meet your needs. A skilled graphic designer can make it much simpler to design a website that will provide the professional image you want for your business online.
