Snapfish is an online photo developing, printing, and sharing service.
Customers send in rolls of film, then Snapfish
develops the film, scans the photos, and mails back the prints and negatives.
The scans are put into online photo albums. Digital camera users can also upload photos
into albums. Then customers can invite friends to view photos online
by "sharing" an album.

The album sharing process was one of the first things that I re-designed when I arrived at
Snapfish. I started with user tests to help the other members of the team understand why
it was difficult. Then we turned the existing small panel into three full html pages that
lead customers through sharing an album. Although creating more pages might sound counter-intuitive,
sharing is now far easier, and the statistics on shared albums have made even the skeptics happy.
