How To Create The Best Memorial Websites For Your Loved Ones

By Harriett Crosby


When a loved one dies, it can be quite a blow to close family members and friends. One of the best ways to memorialize the deceased person is by creating an online memorial that can easily be accessed and viewed by various people. There are various sites which you can use to do this. You can easily create some of the best memorial websites, even if you have never done it before, by following a few guidelines.

To create a site, you have to decide whether you want a self-hosted site or you are more comfortable using existing free platforms. The advantage of creating your own website is that you can design it as you want. However, you have to remember to renew the hosting and domain name every year if you want to keep the site running. The advantage of using a free platform is that you will not incur any expenses and it is usually quite easy to set up.

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.

The next thing you need to do is to prepare the biographical information of the deceased person. You need to try and include information that covers the entire life history of the individual, without getting bogged down with too much information. Some of the things to include are the main events in the life of the individual, their date of birth and death, their name and some of the close places or people they associated with.

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.

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.

When you are through with the website design and posting relevant content, you may want to share it with other people who were close to the deceased individual. You can do this by sharing the page in your social media account or the deceased person's social media account. You can also send emails to people who may be interested in participating on the page.

There are many sites which you can choose from when you want to create the best memorial websites. Do not make the site too complicated if you want other people to freely interact and use it. Make sure that the design is simple and laid out well.
