How To Develop A Captivating Online Memorial Website

By Karen Watson


There is nothing as rewarding as savoring the beautiful memories. Luckily, everyone has beautiful memories he or she would like to keep. Previously, these memories were kept using photo albums and books. Today, it is easy and convenient to develop an online memorial website. How can you actualize the idea and also ensure that it captures your memories in the best way possible?

Choose the appropriate content for your site. There is something memorable for you to enjoy every day. However, not everything is relevant for preservation. Choose whether you want to remember your school life, holidays, moments for your children and such other events. It is these memories that determine the type of site you will develop.

Consider developing dynamic content that will better capture your memories. Websites can accommodate images, videos and text. Each of these content types captures your story in a unique manner. A video will be more captivating to watch for your child ten or twenty years to come compared to photos. However, each has a unique place that cannot replace the other.

Engage an experienced designer to give you a captivating website. The design of your website should be based on the content you wish to use. Blogging using text requires a design that is friendly to reading. Where images are added, the design will change. With the inclusion of videos, you have to alter the design further. The design should be responsive to allow readers to use multiple devices to access your website.

Make a decision on how often the blog will be updated. It takes time to develop quality content that will deliver value to readers. This content should be devoid of unnecessary information yet not miss the crucial information required. Readers will also be expecting particular information at selected moments. Find a reasonable duration within which you will be updating the blog.

An external editor or contributor will spice the content on your website. It is difficult to capture all moments as an individual. Your perception and perspective might also be different from that of a third party. Consider enriching your content through engagement of a third party.

Physical or printed memories are as important to keep as digital copies. Something could happen to the internet where you lose your passwords or the host goes under. Changing technology also makes it impossible to retrieve the information that was captured in an old platform. You are left with no option but to retrieve the old memories that were already printed. Such memories will also not have to depend on availability of passwords, internet or power to access.

A personalized website holding your memories is one of the captivating projects you will ever undertake. You have the memories on your phone and other gadgets beyond the fact that they are accessible anywhere. It compresses a whole album or book into a click on your screen. Luckily, there is no storm or disaster that can wipe up these memories.
