Guidelines For Creating Best Memorial Websites

By Harriett Crosby


When a loved one dies, it can be quite a traumatic event in your life and you may want to keep their memory alive. It is now possible to do so free of charge or by paying a low fee. You can take advantage of online resources and create a website to commemorate the life of your friend or relative. One of the major advantages of using the Internet is that it allows other people to also access the site and deal with the death of the person. There are some things you should know to help you create the best memorial websites.

You can either choose to go for a self-hosted website or you can opt for a free website. A self-hosted website means that you have to come up with the design and purchase your own domain name and webhosting space to use. With a free website, all you have to do is to choose a template and customize it and start using it immediately.

You need to make it possible for other people to interact on the website. This means that it should be possible for individuals to post comments or messages on various pages or designated areas. This will allow individuals to express their sorrow or memories of the deceased person. If you choose to use a free website, make sure that it is reliable. Read their user policy so as to understand how to use the site and what to expect as a user.

You then need to decide how much information and what exactly to post to the site. This includes posting photos of the person and other objects that may have been important to them on the site. Well chosen photos that cover the various stages of life of the departed person would be appropriate.

You need to determine the biographical data to include on the site. Do not feel pressured to add too much information. Only include what is essential. You can always edit the text later and add or remove any information you want. Aim to document the life of the individual.

You can make it easier for other individuals to participate on the site by making it possible to share the website or upload any photos they may have of the individual. You can restrict which photos get uploaded if you want. You can do this by asking people to first email you the photos or by only allowing photos which have been approved by the website administrator to be shown.

After you have created the website, you can invite other people to share their memories of your loved one. You can send them an email or a text message with the link of the website. You can also ask users for feedback about the site. This will help you know how to improve the website and make it better.

To create the best memorial websites, you do not have to come up with something complicated. The key is to create a website that will be easy to use and share. This means that the layout and navigation of the site should be made simple, so that even people who are not Internet savvy can easily use the site.
