How To Build A Captivating 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?

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.

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.
