Ease of Use:  

Lulu provides a very easy to use construction and design website, which is located on an easy to navigate website.

Tabs are easy to find, with search bars and FAQs pages located throughout the site.

The online community is an excellent tool to find information about events, subscribe to the newsletter and trade tips and tricks with other Lulu users in the forum.

Quality:  

Though options for binding and sizing are limited, the quality of Lulu’s photo books is above average.

Unfortunately, aside from damage incurred during shipping, Lulu does not offer a satisfaction guarantee. Sole responsibility is placed on the author to check for grammatical errors, typos, and photo image quality prior to sending the book in for publishing.

Help/Support:  

Lulu hosts a FAQs page and a community where helpful information can be given by users and moderators regarding the service or troubleshooting the software. Additional assistance can also be obtained by email.

Though Lulu is limited in its binding and sizing options, the few things it does, it does very well. With strong community features and an easy to navigate site, Lulu feels very complete.

However, if you are looking for more sizing and binding options, and want the benefit of satisfaction guarantee, look to our best rated photo books Viovio, Shutterfly and Polaroid My Memories Suite.
