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?

Decide the content that is going to enter into the site. Every day has something memorable but they all cannot be kept for the future. These memories will be too much that they lack the special effect. You need to choose the area of focus. It could be your scholarly life, life of your children, holidays, company events, and such specific content. This will give your site a theme that will also direct the content you upload.

What type of content will you be uploading on your site? Most people think of text when thinking of websites. As engaging as these narratives are, there is more depth and conviction when you use images. They capture more than words can describe. Videos go a notch higher by animating the moments. In case the videos are not available, audios are an added advantage. This enriches the experience of your readers and consumers of the content of your blog.

The design of your website plays a part in making it attractive and captivating to readers. It should be designed with the content you will be uploading in mind. A site for text only will differ from that which includes pictures and videos. Videos also add a new dynamic. It takes an experienced designer to develop a website that captures your imagination and is user friendly. Information should also be easy to find using dates or titles.

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.

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.

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.
