Build an image pack for a business website

A complete guide to planning a coherent set of website images by page need or business type, with a licensing check before publication.

How to use an image pack · Assemble the same set yourself

Who this is for

This method is for people putting up a real site quickly: founders writing their first homepage, freelancers building for a client, small teams refreshing a landing page, and anyone who wants a matched set instead of unrelated images chosen one at a time. The same structure also works when preparing inputs for a website builder.

Six useful pack structures

Each structure groups images that belong together, so the photos and graphics on a page share a consistent look. Choose the structure that matches the job:

  • Business hero pack — Wide, text-friendly images for the top of a homepage: calm backgrounds with room for a headline and a button.
  • Landing-page backgrounds pack — Clean section backgrounds and subtle textures for landing pages, sign-up screens, and feature blocks.
  • Consultant & coach pack — Professional, approachable images suited to service sites: offices, workspaces, and quieter scenes that keep text readable.
  • Restaurant & cafe pack — Food, drinks, and interior scenes for menus, story sections, and booking pages on hospitality sites.
  • SaaS & startup pack — Modern, product-leaning visuals for software sites: abstract gradients, device-friendly scenes, and tidy backgrounds.
  • Product background pack — Plain and textured surfaces to place a product on: useful for shop pages, feature cards, and promo blocks.

The fastest way to get all your website images in one sitting turns any of these structures into a working selection session.

The Website Starter Image Kit

The starter-kit structure covers the main sections of a typical website — a hero, an about section, a few feature or service blocks, and a closing call to action — organized by business type so the images on each section match.

Use it when you are building from scratch and want one coherent set: pick the business type closest to yours and map one image role to every section of the page.

A starter image checklist for a brand-new business website is the complete list to work through.

How to use a pack

Choose one structure above, inventory the sections on your page, and select the images together. Most sites need a hero image, supporting section images and a couple of alternatives in reserve. The step-by-step walkthrough covers sizing, file formats and how to keep images readable behind text.

Licensing for the images you choose

Picdrome originals use the Picdrome License; images from other sources keep their own terms. Every image in your set keeps the license of the source it came from; grouping images into a pack does not change their license.

License check. Before you ship, record the source, current license, attribution rule, and any restriction for each image in the set. Don't assume an image is public domain, CC0, or royalty-free unless its source says so. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice.

Run the pre-publish image rights check

Start building

The hero is the part of the page most people build first, and it is the one worth settling before anything else.

Can I use this method for a client website?

What belongs in a Website Starter Image Kit?

A set covering the main sections of a typical site — hero, about, feature or service blocks, and a closing call to action — organized by business type so the images on each section match. The starter image checklist provides the working list.

How often should I review the set?

Review it when the site structure, brand direction or an image's license changes. Otherwise, replace individual images only when the new choice still fits the shared palette, lighting and composition rules.
