One of the best and undoubtedly the most far-reaching method to share those cherished memories is with a family website on the Internet.
Has there just been a celebration where you or some of your relatives were unable to attend? Have you ever wanted to share your children’s school or sports event pictures with relatives anywhere in the world? With new technology and increased competition, it is now easier and far more affordable than ever! Share photos…
It has never been easier to bring friends and relatives up-to-date by uploading your digital or scanned photos to your own website yourself! With the new photo gallery technology available today, you just log-on to the administration area right on the website itself – no other technical skills required. With just a few mouse clicks and in less than 10 minutes you can upload over 20 pictures of a special event. And you can manage the gallery whenever it is convenient for you – it is available 24/7/365. You can also enable other family members located anywhere in the world to easily upload their photos to your website for everyone to enjoy. Some galleries even have language options – where each visitor can select their native language and all the text and descriptions for the photos will be automatically translated!
Share your Family Tree…
Is your family tree missing some pieces of the puzzle? Having an online Family Tree will allow all your relatives, close and distant, to collaborate and contribute to completing the picture. Imagine an Aunt or Uncle in some other part of the world helping to fill in the blanks.
Worried about Security?
If you are worried about unwanted visitors looking at your family website, there are many options available to keep it private. If you don’t register the website with any search engines or give out the website address to anyone you don’t want visiting, the chances of unwanted eyes finding the site is very slim. There are also very simple password protection options available. You can provide specific passwords to friends and relatives that you would like to grant permission to view and/or upload photos to your site. You can have certain areas of your site password protected – or protect the entire site.
Surprisingly Affordable…
With the increase in web design competition and the availability of less expensive web space, it has never been more affordable to have a family website. Further cost savings can be realized when you upload your own images and manage a complete photo gallery yourself as there will be no monthly maintenance fees. Total costs can be as little as $300 for the design, domain name and 1 year of website hosting. Generally, if you can get a ‘complete’ package, including the design, domain and hosting, it will be less expensive – not to mention you only have to deal with a single company. One such company that offers these services is D-Mack Media (www.dmackmedia.com), based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. They offer a very personal touch, working with you to ensure the design and features of the site reflect your vision.
Whether you want to share the latest news and pictures of your family or showcase historical pictures of your Great Grandparents, the most accessible, convenient and simple method today is on the Internet. Increased competition, added web space and new technology has forced tremendous price reductions and enabled even the most thrifty consumer to have an online presence. So what are you waiting for?
