How To Create The Best Memorial Websites For Your Loved Ones

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.

When creating a site, it is important to make it as interactive as possible. This will allow individuals who access the site to post and leave messages of love and the memories they have of the person who died. If you are using a free online platform, make sure to read the terms and conditions of the website.

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 can write a tribute text to the departed person. This can include a poem or song or your own thoughts about the person. Reflect how you felt about the person and even tell any stories about the person that may have stood out for you.

Allow other users to freely post on the website. Some of the things people should be able to post include photos, video clips and even memories of the individual. To avoid potentially embarrassing situations, it may be advisable to filter out any messages before they go live on the website. Also, avoid too many multimedia messages as this may cause the website to load slowly.

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.
