How To Build An Online Memorial Website

By Karen Watson


Memories make everything to appear animated and alive once again as though it is happening today. This is why people keep the memories of their beautiful experiences. People used photo album and memoirs but an online memorial website is the current trend. It is easy since you can update from anywhere and using any device. But how do you make it captivating for you today and those who will access it in future?

Know what you want to capture on the site. There is something memorable about every day. However, you cannot document everything. You need to identify whether to document your family life, scholarship, moments with friends, the life of your children, and such other moments. This helps you to narrow down on the content of your site and move forth to how this content will be generated.

Expand the type of content that you upload on the site. The most common type of content is text. However, there are photos that capture moments better than what words can describe. It is also a moment to break monotony and enjoy a new dimension that cannot be captured using words. Videos also provide an animated presentation of the moments you have from time to time.

Get an excellent design for the blog. The design should make it as interactive and user friendly as possible. The design should be informed by the content you are uploading. Websites designed for text will differ from sites that are meant for videos and photos. Discuss with the designer to enable you choose a responsive platform. Such websites are easier to use and accessible using different gadgets. They make it easier to display your information.

Decide on how regular the website will be updated. There is something memorable on daily basis. However, you might not find the time to make daily updates. You also do not want to burden your readers with mundane information. Choose a consistent schedule that will help you preserve memories without overloading readers or missing on crucial moments.

Consider the possibility of engaging external contributors and editors in your project. There are subtle details that a single person is likely to miss. By engaging multiple persons in your circles, you will have angles and dynamics that you never thought were possible. It enriches your content and makes the most beautiful memories imaginable.

Print the important text and photos for physical preservation. Most people consider this as an old way of preserving the memories. However, technology changes and in the process denying you a chance to access previous accounts. Your passwords may also be forgotten. Printed copies will survive technology crashes and be accessible even in the absence of power, internet and even passwords.

Having a memorial website is one of the best things you will ever do to preserve those beautiful moments in this era. It gives you a chance to share the memories with other people on different platforms in real time. There is no burden of carrying albums or the photos being destroyed in a storm.
