FotoFlexer Wins Prestigous Usability Interface Design Award

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

FotoFlexer, the world’s most advanced Web-based image editing solution, today announced it has been awarded the 2008 Application and Design Usability Award from the Nielsen Norman Group, the world-renowned experts in Web and application usability. FotoFlexer was the only online image editing solution selected for this award, which is given to only 10 applications — including both Web-based and desktop applications — each year. As a result, Nielsen Norman dedicates 28 pages of its upcoming ‘Application Design Annual 2008: The Year’s 10 Best Application UIs’ report to an in-depth review of FotoFlexer’s superior usability features.

‘We selected FotoFlexer because it has created an online application which adds to the user experience by interacting well with other online services, giving users an easy-to-use alternative to desktop-based editing applications,’ said usability expert Dr. Jakob Nielsen, principal of Norman Nielsen Group. ‘The company calls itself ‘the world’s most advanced online digital photo editor’, and after our evaluation, we believe it’s a pretty credible claim.’

The Norman Nielsen Group is co-founded by Don Norman, the noted usability researcher and author of books such as The Design of Everyday Things.  Newsweek describes Dr. Norman as, “The guru of workable technology.”
