 Visitors Don't Have to Create an Account to View Your Albums

of SiteMaze's top-rated and most appreciated attributes is the fact
that a visitor to an album does not have to create an account with
SiteMaze to view your photos, unlike many other photo services.
This entices more new viewers to stay longer, come back more frequently
and builds good will among photo sharers. Nothing annoys friends more
than being forced to create an account with a service they do not want,
just to see your photos!
