Why use original icons in web designing?

A decade ago no one really paid attention to icons in the process of web designing. People usually used the same icons that could be found on the internet. In the past few years icons became very important in web designing. Web designers pat special attention to icons because they have figured out that icons can be very important. Many researchers have confirmed that icons are seen as a message by the users a message that can motivate them to come back on the website or as a message that can help you build your brand. From the moment a visitor opens certain website he is looking at the design. That’s why it is very important to have an interesting and engaging website that will keep the visitors on the website and make them return in the future. Thanks to the good graphics (including interesting icons) we can expect to achieve that goal.

Those sources were usually used only by professional designers with lots of knowledge and it was difficult for those who are not experts in this field to create an icon.
