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.

Consider developing dynamic content that will better capture your memories. Websites can accommodate images, videos and text. Each of these content types captures your story in a unique manner. A video will be more captivating to watch for your child ten or twenty years to come compared to photos. However, each has a unique place that cannot replace the other.

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.

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.

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.
