I’d add a CSS3 text-shadow [1] to make the text more legible against the background image. There are other UI tricks to achieve the same goal as well. Also, I think this would be one of the rare cases where adding scrolling parallax effects would be valuable. It is, after all, a visual product.

Thanks! That's a great call. As one who happens to love (subtle) CSS shadows, I'm surprised I didn't think to do that already :) Not sure about the plax though... maybe.... really appreciate the feedback though!! (Curious: What do you think about the value prop? Is that something that makes sense to you?)

Just a simple test to see whether there's any general interest in such a service. Realized we rarely print photo books due to the high cost per book (typically $50-$100 for a high quality, hardback book)...
