Description

Quickly creates albums using images from Flickr. Users can annotate the images and manage pages just like a regular photobook. Books can be published to the site. This can be very creative and fun with very little effort.

Accessibility Testing Results

The pages are not accessible with a text browser such as WebbIE and it is hard to really make any impression just using a keyboard as the project book and editing is all based on Flash elements. Fonts are a mix of serif and sans serif and in most places perfectly readable. However, in the archive, the tags are much harder to read as they have a transparent background on wood - this can be changed with browser settings and use of zoom.
