Ask HN: Elderly Friendly Photo Printing Sites?
2 by jerrac | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey, just a shot in the dark, but does anyone know of any good photo product sites, like Shutterfly, that have user interfaces that are elderly friendly? My mother likes to get cards and other things using her photos, but she is continually having horrible experiences with the sites she's tried. And every time I go to help, I find UI's that are just not well designed. Sometimes I have to switch her over to Chrome, other times nothing makes it better. Today, Walmart's site wouldn't even let me try to log her into her account in Chrome, just kept showing me "are you human" pages. And in Firefox, their photo app is clearly not working very well. The preview for the Christmas card was tiny until I switched her system font size from 150% to 100% scaling. Then it got bigger. And Firefox console was full of security warnings. Shutterfly is not very good either, she consistently has to redo entire projects (that take her hours to put together) before it works, and it's hit or miss on if it works in Firefox or Chrome. Are there any photo printing services out there that have UIs that: A) Work. B) Were designed with the elderly in mind? Thanks!
