Guidelines For Creating Best Memorial Websites

By Harriett Crosby


Losing someone through death can be quite devastating. One of the best coping mechanisms you can use is to create a memorial for the departed person. Through the use of the Internet, you can easily do this as there are multiple websites which you can use. To create some of the best memorial websites, it is important that you are prepared and you know how to go about it. Learning a few guidelines will come in handy.

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.

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 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.

Make it easy for other people to also pay tribute to the deceased. You can do this by making it easy to share the page or website through social media buttons. You can also make it possible for individuals to upload photos or videos of the person. You can filter any information added on the site before it goes live to avoid embarrassing situations.

Once you are done setting up the website, do not forget to invite other people to view and participate in it. You can send email or text messages to family members and friends of the deceased person. Encourage them to leave comments and tell you if there is anything they may want improved.

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.
