Canva

When I design for you, I use the Adobe Creative Suite, such as Photoshop and Illustrator. If you are unfamiliar with these programs or do not have access, I often recommend using Canva if you are maintaining your own website. I have used Canva quite extensively when working with other clients collaboratively and also for myself on personal projects. Their program is very intuitive and easy to use. It is especially great for social media management.

Unsplash

Photography and images are what make and break your design. I believe that a true authentic website features your own photos. However, I know that it may not be within your marketing budget to hire a professional photographer, so if you must, then I suggest using royalty free stock photography but select them carefully. Unsplash has a really good selection and covers almost every category.
