Review of Viewbook

Viewbook Reviewed 10 Aug 2009 · Average score 55%

Summary

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.
