My goal: I want to share some photos with my Mom, who is 2500 miles away.
My challenge: Mom is 96 years old, and has never used a computer, except for FaceTime on an iPad for video calls. She has serious and worsening problems with short-term memory. So she can't learn anything new.
I was going to set up a shared photo gallery, but the Apple Photos app is beyond her abilities. (Example: She would not remember that the < icon means "go back", or where she would go back to.)
So my best idea so far is an extremely simple website. The home page would contain a list of photo album links, and each album would just be a column of photos and captions.
The more I think about this, the more I realize how many things are NOT obvious to someone like my Mom. Even the terms "Home", "Menu", and "Link" are foreign. Icons might as well be hieroglyphics.
So it looks like I'll be building a 1997-era website (plus CSS for styling). Every link will have to be an obvious button with a descriptive phrase, like |_List_of_Photo_Albums_|.
Suggestions welcome -- especially if you know of someone's existing work that I can adapt!
