BigStockPhoto Is Now BigStock


Here is the anouncement from the BigStock Blog:

We’re pleased to announce the launch of Bigstock’s new redesign.  Since December, the team has been focused on a number of exciting improvements to serve you better:
  • An entirely new design focused on clean presentation and ease-of-use
  • A new and enhanced search engine
  • New image sizes with larger previews and thumbnails
  • A “liquid layout” for search results and lightboxes, allowing users to see more images on the page
  • Full support for multiple forms of Boolean logic in search (for example, show me: horse AND gallop NOT farm)
  • New navigation
  • Redesigned and improved upload tools for contributors
  • Updated and edited text throughout the site
  • A transition from “galleries” to the more traditional “lightboxes” as a place to save favorite images
  • New blogs with tips and announcements for both contributors and buyers
  • Updated logos and branding
  • Additional search engine optimizations for Google and others
  • …and much, much more.  Since the entire interface has changed, hundreds of improvements have been integrated into the site.
We’ve also been hard at work making improvements to the collection: checking metadata and enhancing the search algorithm to provide a better balance of quality, relevance, and freshness in search results.
We want you to have a simple, efficient and rewarding experience here at Bigstock.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated.  Please send feedback about these improvements to feedback@bigstock.com.  All support requests, bugs, and sales inquiries should be directed to support@bigstock.com.

Best Regards,
Scott Braut
Product Manager
Bigstock
