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.

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.

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.

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.

Engage a third party who can provide an independent perspective to the memories. You miss out on some perspectives that will not be captured if you are the only one working on the project. A third party offers a dimension that is unique and will spice up your content. It is also monotonous to read content that is written in a singular perspective.

Consider printing some of the memories like photos. Technology has its advantages but it is also overtaken by time. Passwords may also be lost. You also depend power and availability of gadgets to access these memories. With printed copies, you can take them with you and still scan for uploading on other websites or platforms.

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.
