Question
Marion has been hired by a popular national salon business to refresh its existing Web site and update it to valid HTML5 code. Money is not an issue, but time is. Marion is asked to complete the project within eight weeks. The site currently includes 10 pages and connects to a back-end database so that customers can sign in for a personalized experience. Marion suspects that most of the existing code will need to be replaced. Marion must ensure that she has plenty of time for the testing phase, so she needs to complete the planning phase, in which she selects the multimedia for the site, within the next couple days. Which strategy should Marion use in the planning phase?
Options
- ATake pictures of the salons herself.
- BPurchase stock photos from online resources.
- CHire a photographer to take pictures of the salons.
- DEdit existing images of the salons to update them.

Explanation
Purchasing stock photos is the fastest way to obtain professional, high-quality images immediately - and since the question explicitly states money is not an issue but time is, stock photos directly satisfy the binding constraint. Option A (taking pictures herself) is wrong because Marion is a web developer, not a photographer, and it would consume valuable planning time. Option C (hiring a photographer) is wrong for the same reason - even with unlimited budget, scheduling shoots, waiting for delivery, and post-processing all introduce delays she cannot afford. Option D (editing existing images) is wrong because reworking old images is time-consuming and may still not yield professional results.
Memory tip: When an exam scenario says "money is no object, time is tight," the answer almost always involves buying something pre-made rather than creating or commissioning it - stock photos, licensed assets, or pre-built templates are your go-to.

Bao N.Jun 19, 2026B is the right call here. Stock photos are the fastest way to get quality visuals in the planning phase when you are on a tight 8-week timeline, since hiring a photographer or shooting yourself burns days you do not have, and editing outdated existing images is not a real upgrade.
Orla P.May 21, 2026Stock photos win on speed here, even if they feel a little generic, B.
Fatima Z.May 23, 2026Speed matters, sure, but custom shots convert better once you have the traffic to test, so the real win is knowing which stage you are at before you pick a side.
Ingrid P.Jun 5, 2026Stock photos are the right call here because Marion has a two-day window for the planning phase and zero budget constraint, so spending that time browsing a library and licensing images on the spot beats scheduling a photographer or digging through old assets. The key card to write is the tradeoff: time-sensitive plus budget-flexible equals stock library, not custom shoot.
Fatima Z.Jun 3, 2026Hiring a photographer is the only move that makes sense here, people, because the exam is drilling us on the constraint that MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE but TIME absolutely is, so you want a pro who can deliver polished, print-ready shots fast without Marion burning her own hours behind a lens or waiting on edit queues. Think of it as the MNT hook, Money No object, Need speed, Tap a professional, and C hits all three letters perfectly.
Orla P.Jun 6, 2026Fatima, the constraint is actually the opposite, time is not an issue but money absolutely is, so Marion needs the lowest-cost path, which makes learning to take the photos herself (option B) the right call.
