The Basics of Icon Design

Why Use Icons
Icons are used in the design of your web pages to add a visual element to your content.

Creating Your Own Icon

Creating your own icon design may seem like a simple task, they're so small right? To design these small graphic details, it takes a lot of thought and design knowledge. If you don't have knowledge of these or a similar design software then designing an icon yourself may not be possible.

FREE Icons

One option to getting icons without actually having to design them yourself is to download them for free. There are numerous website that offer free icons for download. Many sites that offer free icons make you give credit to the website on your web page where it is used.

Custom Icon Design
If you don't have the design skills or the software to design your own, and you don't want to use the free ones that everyone else has access to, a good option for you is to work with a design service to get custom icons designed.
