Last week we reviewed Icon Heavy Joomla Templates; actually these are the Joomla templates that use icons to communicate information to visitors. However, we have noticed that many designers avoid using icons, and prefer stock images instead. For instance, they add images to navigation bars or use them to visually divide space. In such cases, stock images do the same job as web icons and it’s your choice if you want images or icons on your Joomla website. Also, small images are often used to illustrate certain points that webmasters would like to present on their Joomla websites.
