WEB DESIGN

The internet has become a hugely popular forum for genealogical information, but most people don't have the skills to take advantage of this method of sharing their family histories.

I have been designing websites since 1995, both for myself and for others. Contacts made through my genealogy websites have led to some extraordinary discoveries over the years, and have allowed me to share my discoveries with others.

Most genealogy software can generate detailed reports ready to be posted to a website, but there is so much more you can do beyond just names and dates. I can produce an attractive, easy to navigate website that can include:

• fully hyperlinked genealogy reports (GEDCOM, TMG or FTM file to be provided by the client)
• photographs and maps
• family stories
• links to other related websites
• query and other forms
• customized graphics, buttons, etc.
• a CD version of your website that can be shared or sold

Please visit some of the genealogy websites I have designed to see what is possible:

• Jennifer Smith's Genealogy Page
• The Association of Philippe du Trieux Descendants
• Hamilton Branch, UELAC
