I'm currently developing a new business website and looking for a really striking image to put on the front page.

I was wondering if anyone here has an image which they think would suit the front page, unfortunately I'm not in a position to pay for use of the image.

The business is a Docklands based hosting company, aimed at SMEs.

I'm looking for an image along the following lines:

London Dockands
Glass buildings
Something "technology" based
Something clean and sharp

It's to fit on a page such as this, which is an early design.

"IP Freely Hosting"

Quality...

Paul, if there is anything I can do to help, call me. I'm struggling to think of anything of mine other than the one below that may suit...

Not sure this is particularly technology based, but it is pretty striking

I've got some aerial shots of the city and Canary Wharf looking towards the city, not sure if it's what you're after but you're more than welcome to use them.

If you are interested i'll put a couple up here.

Have a look at iStockPhoto.com; simple search on Canary Wharf brought up 92 matches. To purchase a sample image, ie:

costs US$1 for 72dpi use. Used images from there on a couple of sites; much cheaper than Getty Images

Ideally it would be shots of Harbour Exchange Square & Sovereign House, which looks like this:



Redbus Interhouse (UK) Limited
6-7 Harbour Exchange Square
London E14 9GE

&



Redbus Interhouse (UK) Limited
Sovereign House
227 Marsh Wall
London E14 9SD

If the resolution was good enough and I cropped heavily I would be able to see the desk at one of my clients that I used to sit at!

Paul, if it's only for web, you could pop out when it's sunny and the right time of day, and take it yourself with a half-decent compact...?
