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.

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.

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.

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.
