Problem:

Not all companies have uploaded pictures.

The pictures are shown in these places:

  • Companies overview page (many companies, paginated)
  • Company show page (one company) at the top
  • Company show page (4 companies) down the page where we have 'Nearby companies'

Possible solutions:

  • Have one (or more?) image that we always use as a fallback.
  • Load a random image from Unsplash?

So that we always have at least 1 image showing for a company

We can use Unsplash:

Cons

  • The image loading is slow, it takes from 1-4 sec to get a new image.
  • The company will get a new image on every reload, which is confusing to the user. How can he see the picture he just saw 3 seconds ago?
  • Some companies might get the same picture randomly
  • Misleading - The user might believe that the image he sees, is something the company produces.
  • Some companies have multiple tags, which tag do we want to use? What if Unsplash has nothing with that tag?
