Description

Web page creation tool with several tools for creating presentations and image albums. Drag-and-drop interface. Designed mainly for those photographers wishing to adapt photos and produce portfolios. This product now has only 30 days of free use.

Accessibility Testing Results

The editor is in Flash so only keyboard accessible in some browsers such as Internet Explorer. However, when viewed as a show photos can be chosen and shown with keyboard actions. Contrast levels on the work space are not that good and the interface is not very intuitive with odd pop up boxes appearing bottom right and other menus sandwiched between toolbars. Zooming in edit mode causes overlaps. However, the main site is fine in all these aspects.
