Illustrations, images, and icons are important elements of a website or application. They make your website has a better design and interesting to users. They also help you to convey a message to users on your website.

For instance, a landing page with creative illustrations to explain your service to users is more likely to be understood quickly than using just plain text. Another example, using icons in the menu list can help users to understand the menu faster.

Using awesome illustrations, images, and icons on your website improve User Interface and Experience (UI/UX). This is because humans love great visuals.
