Free Background Pictures for WordPress Websites That Will Captivate Your Audience

Every time I am writing a blog post for you, I face the necessity to illustrate it with attractive visuals.

I can’t just publish 1000+ words monotonous text and hope that the readers will have enough patience to study it. Bloggers, as well as website owners, will understand me quite well. It does take the time to find free images that are relevant to the topic and don’t look stock if you want your content to go viral, of course.

I did such things before and I’m going to do it again.

Please don’t be scared, I just want to simplify the life of our customers who use premium WordPress themes. As you know, some of them are delivered with images and some of them are not. In any case, you may not like the default photos included into template’s package. If you are striving to make your website unique and personal, you definitely need more pics.

One-of-a-kind corporate image is not the only reason why quality photos are never excess. Using full-screen background pictures is a current web design trend. Do you want your website to look trendy? Free backgrounds are exactly what you need.

Background images are also called hero images, but that does not mean that you should choose only people to face close-ups for your website background. You may use beautiful landscapes or urban scenes as background themes. The main point here is that your background photo should be associated with your company or blog. It also should be aesthetically pleasing. Good background images are able to spruce up the web page design and add some depth to its content.

The trend of hero images may be described as large captivating headers. Most of the best background images are photographs which directly relate to the content. However, designers may experiment with vector backgrounds, illustrated artworks, and even animated videos.

Just agree that when push comes to shove, it is difficult to find anything that can be as relatable and descriptive as a photograph. It is aimed to drive visitors further into the site by giving them a peek beneath the surface.

But let’s come back to the topic of this article and get to know what is waiting for you right under this introductory text. You will find bundles of free background images for each and every category of our WordPress themes. Yea, you will have a good choice.

I hope all these collections of background pics for the following WordPress themes categories will save you a lot of time.
