Rather than using text in a bulleted list, spice up your website with icons. When a user visits your website, they initial scan the page to find anything that draws their attention…something visual. After the user finds that visual attraction, the user starts to actually read the text. It’s all psychological and all about communication.
So where can you get your icons? There are plenty of sites out there, but here are a few that I use on a frequent basis that can provide a nice sleek look for your page.
Icon Finder
Nice, clean looking icons! It’s easy to search and find something you need. They offer various sizes for most icons.
IconsPedia
I just found this site recently and it has a large number of icons for your needs. They provide good categorization for easy browsing through their icons. This site is a good place to go if you are looking for icons to match certain events, specific products or business types.
Although it’s not free, it has a great library of icons along with stock photos. Purchase the credits at a low cost and you’ll have a large library of icon sets to choose from.
AppStorm
If you’re a Mac fan, check out this site. They have a section for “50 Unusually Awesome Icon Sets for Mac”.
Although there are not that many choices, you’ll find an icon or two useful for your website. The icons are focused on icons for Computer Applications, Devices, and File Systems.
123 Free Vectors
Not just for icons, but this site includes an excellent collection of vector images.
Of course, if can’t find your icons, then GOOGLE. The key to finding good icons in Google is finding the proper search string. It usually takes several tries before finding the right icon for your needs.
Got others? Post your sites here, I’d love to hear more that are commonly used.
