About Jalbum

What you have to remember with Jalbum is that it’s not intended to be a full-featured HTML editor. It’s an online photo album creator. You can create photo albums and host them on the Jalbum site or on your own site. I created a photo album with about 20 photos in less than 15 minutes. You can post your galleries on the jAlbum site or upload them to your own blog or website. There are also some skins that include ecommerce functions so you can sell your images. It’s very easy to use, and perfect for the newcomer to web design who just wants to share photos with friends and family. But if you need more than that from your web editor, you should look elsewhere.

Target Market(s): Newcomers to Web Design or Children
