Snapfish or Shutterfly?

virginiawife

I recently went over to a friends house and she had this perfect book that she had made for her son's first year of life. She said it was easier for her than to print all the pictures and put them in an album. Her photo book was amazing...it looked so professional. I went on both websites and played around but all of mine ended up looking really really cheezy! Is it me or are the backgrounds really obnoxious? I don't remember hers having a background...it seemed as if the pictures took up the whole page. Does anyone have any advice, reviews of either websites, or samples? THanks

You really just have to play around with the site and figure out all the different layouts and backgrounds.... It takes forever... but its SO worth it!

I LOVE Shutterfly!  I've tried both and have found Shutterfly to be easier to use.  Ditto the other person, there are so many different ways you can do it.  Just play around with it!  I've made all my photobooks through them and have never been disappointed.

Definitely Shutterfly.

 My publisher is nice too.

When you make it, play with the layouts.  I did one on Shutterfly with an all black layout, and then on some pages, I would make the pictures take up the full page.  It really looked great with the solid black pages. 

I also did a fun one for his birthday on artscow, more scrapbook like with different backgrounds on each page.  It was really cute for a birthday book, but I love the plain black.  When I make another book, it'll probably be the solid black again.

I've done shutterfly, snapfish, blurb and picaboo books and picaboo was the best quality IMO.  They are more expensive but I waited for a coupon code.  I like their backgrounds the best too.  I agree with pp though, I find plain backgrounds are the best with the other sites.  You can still get a good photobook from the other sites, you just have to be more creative.
