    Vote on your favorite Symbiosites. I’m hoping the results inspire newcomers as well as those still in the process of designing their sites.

    Pasted from the thread:

    At this time Symbiostock.info shows 130 sites, 167,000+ images.

    Looking through the network, I’m amazed at the creative approach people have taken to their websites. People new to web design, as well as the experienced ones have turned out some pretty amazing work, on top of their already professional libraries.

    Nov 7, 2013 — I thought it might be nice to put up a site rating pole. This is typically for inspirational purposes — not to incite competition. The hope is that the best showcase sites end up serving as a model to those new to Symbiostock, who might be unsure where to start, and for those who may have struggled with layout up until now.

    Please let this thread be a fun and encouraging one.

    That is a good excuse to take a peek around everyone’s sites. I have looked at many of them but missed a few and many have changed

    Just a thought, how will people feel if their site ends up with no votes?

    I should have voted for myself tho, since it will likely be the only one i get. 😉

    I disagree. I think your site looks fresh and inviting.

    However, while I do understand the marketing aspect of this survey, I believe that most “designs”, just like mine, are not really the designs of the site owner. I, for instance, simply used one of the many standard layouts, Leo put into our hands with most recent Symbiostock and the dragonfly child theme.

    That was interesting – I had not realised how many languages we now cover and the different times it takes for various sites to load. I found the easiest way to narrow it down was to look at the sites, leave windows open for the ones I liked and then try and narrow it down from those opened windows, took a while to get it down to just 7

    Yes, some of the sites are very slow. Might it be because they have full-sized images in their slideshows? Just a guess.

    I haven’t voted yet at all. It has been quite a while since I took a look at most or even all sites. I need to find some time to check them all out first. But I will use my 7 votes for sure.

    BTW, if I remember correctly you were the one with no sales so far. Looking at your site and your really appealing images makes me wonder if your watermark might not be bothersome enough for people to simply “take” your pics including watermark. It might be too nice.
