Otherwise, we can see the interface we are used to. All icons are free and available for download in just a few clicks. Ad units are a bit boring, but such projects need to get the money somehow ;)
Any website icons you saw on the above mentioned services are available for download in standard formats: PNG, ICO, ICNS, SVG.
In our future articles we shall tell you how and what icons to select when creating a professional website. There are a lot of useful services and information in store for you.
