| Image Libraries Changed The World For Designers (Part 6) |
| Alamy was one of the first online stock libraries, and still deals in traditional ‘right managed’ images, where you pay a fee for each usage, as well as the ‘royalty free’ model used by the other stock sites here. There’s an iPad app, but it’s just a sample gallery, without search. |

| The proliferation of digital TV channels and ever-decreasing budgets for small-screen commissions means there’s a bigger and more accessible market than ever before for stock music.

| ‘Say you have a shop based on WordPress, a plug-in for customer interaction and a theme. If WordPress gets updated to patch a security hole, applying the update will risk breaking the theme or plug-in. Or a theme update might not work with the plug-in.’ |
