I know what most of you are going to say, but I'm going to ask the question anyway.  Is there room for one more micro stock site?

As a frustrated photographer who is fed up of the faceless micro stock sites out there and the unfriendly interfaces they have, I decided to search around for a new and friendly stock site out there, even if they are small and just starting up.  Thats when I came across Raw-Stock-Images after hearing about the site and the friendly guy who was running it. 

The site is outdated in design and a little hard to use, but it had lots of potential, and after emailing the guy running it with a list of improvements I could think of, I found out that he was looking for a partner.  And thats how I got involved.

We eventually decided to completely re-design the website and re-brand it, taking along the existing members and their images. 

The new site is ready to be launched on Saturday and is called www.GeckoStock.co.uk

It's been designed around the needs and requirements of the existing users as well as taking into consideration all of the things that annoy us about the other big micro stock sites out there.   

I know that you're thinking "oh no....not another new stock site....it'll never last" but we're giving it a go and hope that you'll join us for the launch on Saturday evening and will at least take a look and see what you think.  There are quite a few members on here who are members of our old site Raw Stock Images and I know that they are keen to see the new site.  Hopefully they'll vouch for how friendly we are and how we are striving to create a great stock site which is focused at helping it's members grow and improve.

We have many plans for the future of the site and hope that you will help us realise these plans by taking the time to upload your images.
