Personally, I would be careful about using these images on commercial pages as theWebmaster claims that he 'doesn't think' any of the images are copyrighted - obviously, therefore, he hasn't created them himself. This range is great for use on personal pages, though, as the range is very extensive.

Their range actually includes the 6-Bs of Web graphics - buttons, bars, bullets, backgrounds, borders and banners and all graphics are of a high-quality. It is a pity, though, that the banners are so wide as many could make very promising LinkExchange/Banner Swap banners for people who do not have access to Photoshop (or similar). As they are, they will need editing to resize them to suit most banner-swap services.

As per usual, they do require that you add a link back to thewir Web page if you choose to use any of their graphics, but their requirements are not difficult to fulfill (just a short text link) and, believe me, it's worth it! The images for white backgrounds are the best in my humble opinion.
