There are so many things that are great about jAlbum. Probably top thing is that everything is on my computer, and you can test a project locally before deploying.
The completed project displays properly on every type of screen and in every browser. If you're a newbie, just make the gallery and upload it to the jalbum site.
As Billy Mays said, "But wait! There's more!"
I was skeptical when jAlbum told me I could run my entire site with it, but yes, you can, AND you can create a test site and try it live on the web before deploying.
Not to diss Wordpress or Sitejet, but they're online, and even with their previews, I've had updates break on different browsers or when accessed from a phone.
With jAlbum, that never happens.
Summarizing:
Everything is on your computer. If your entire site crashes or you change hosting services, you can upload the whole thing and lose nothing.
It displays properly on every screen size and in every browser.
You can fully test changes before deploying,
Finally, the deployed sites are beautiful and functional,
Experiencing limited time with the albums to date has been a revealing pleasure in so many hopeful ways. Attempting to make more quality time to get web sites back up and running in coming days. Thanks much for being the best platform found over the past few years. Cheers!
Thank you Stephen. We're so pleased reading this.
I normally pay $40-$50 a year and just did, and now it has expired
So basically it is just a wonderful image program to use. I have used it for a very many years at this point. The people you may get in contact are super good.
Blushing here:-). Thanks Harvey!
Used it for years. Super software, great support. Can only recommend.
JAlbum makes creating, and updating, photo gallery sites easy!
Happy to hear that. Thank you!
JAlbum makes it easy to create photo albums. I use it for my personal portfolio, and I've used it in the past to create albums for the weddings I shot.
I finally upgraded to the latest version and am really happy I did. A great program to put photographs and videos, with music, on the web in minutes. I can open the program, add photos, add music, and put it online for my family in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommended...
Really happy you like the update. Thanks Grant!
I have used this off and on for several years. Don't expect a fully featured app. The point of jalbum is to publish your images quickly and easily. And for that, it works very well;.
Thanks James. If you're missing anything in particular, let us know by writing [email protected]
I use it to publish my photos on my website. It's extremely flexible and offers a broad array of styles and features that can be incorporated.
Thank you!
I've been a jAlbum client and user for many years. Loved it from the first time I tried it.
Great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to write this review Greg!
I've been a jAlbum client for likely 15 years, maybe more. I love the new features they add, but for the most part I still use it like I always have. That is, I make photo albums for my websites. And why do I use jAlbum? Because it works!
I use this to add a page of photos to my website monthly. JAlbum works very well at this. I would benefit from a way to put for example "page 3 of 5" on each page as an option. It would also help to have a way to take an existing page and amend more photos to it. Right now I do that manually.
Hi Frederick, Please post these questions to our user forum at https://jalbum.net/forum
Have used jAlbum for a number of years and would recommend it highly! Ease of use is a real plus and the completed photo albums always look. Great!
Happy to hear. Thanks Bill!
Great product and support! And have used it for years. I would highly recommend!
I have a hot air balloon website and we are constantly adding photos and videos to our site and this makes it easier to accomplish.
Happy to hear that jAlbum helps you with this. Enjoy!
Experienced some problems with my albums' upload but the the Help Desk provided all support I needed.
I've used jAlbum for a number of projects and find it a pleasure to work with. It is easy to use, flexible and I've gotten great results. I especially like the ability to tag photos and have the tags display in the Tag Cloud that gives users a table of contents.
Thanks for your review Rich. We especially like that you exemplify things you like.
I have used or tried every major photography gallery program available and jAlbum flexibility and output quality are the best on the market!
Blushing happily here:-). Thank you John!
I've used jAlbum for well over ten years and I've just scratched the surface of its capabilities. Along side that, jAlbum regularly updates their product with value added features and new skins. I have absolutely no criticisms to their business model or their product. It has worked extremely well for me to add photo pages to my website with minimum effort.
We're so happy to read this. Thank you Greg. Wishing you many more happy years with jAlbum!
I've used JAlbum for several years. It's highly flexible and looks very professional plus their support is second to none. I would highly recommend it.
Thank you Thomas!
Very responsive and very accurate response. You know what you are doing.
Thanks. That's because we're also the developers.
I have used jAlbum for over 12 years as a tool to organize and display photos to share with friends and family. My largest photo collection contains almost 17,000 photos, and I have several smaller collections with probably another 2,000 or so images. Changes and additions are relatively quick, even with the largest collection. My experience has been mostly with the "Standard" license.
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with jAlbum!
Have used jAlbum for so many years, I'm not sure when I started. Incredible, flexible software. I have recommended to many peers and students in those years. Excellent support and response.
Happy to hear that. Thanks for spreading the word too Cathy!
