People Meets Energy

Ok todays theme is People meets Energy.

Simple find images that showcase people doing energetic things. Can such a theme bring more TRAFFIC to your website. Well, I think so yes.

Most companies in this age wants to reflect that they are a people business and that the bunch of people (employees) working with the company are an energetic bunch of people.

So lets brainstorm. Hmm people + energy. What images comes up to mind:
  • People playing sports - very energetic here
  • Children playing with toys - hmm creates a feeling of creativity, innovativeness & possibility.
  • Music - harmonic creativity. Promotes a listening ear kind of feeling. Yes our company is listening to you, our customers:)

What feelings can such a theme bring forth when your users visit your website? Feelings like warmth, trust & service may be. Yes I think so too.
