For some years now technology has become one of our favorite gift options. Headphones, speakers, digital frames, smart devices, etc. But there are many more options besides gadgets that you surely hadn’t thought of. The one we propose here mixes the best of both worlds, something bought and something self-made: a personalized website.
Collect the photos of a life on a web page to give it as a gift to a person you love.
It may sound strange but, in reality, a personalized web page can be the perfect gift to collect and share your memories with a special person. Birthdays, Christmas, Father’s or Mother’s Day, anniversaries…. Any occasion is good to give moments together from the past and present.
“At a time when personalization is definitely a trend, the ability to create unique websites as a gift can be a winning option,” explains Lola Puerta, GoDaddy’s general manager for Southern Europe.
A place to collect memories, moments, trips, experiences…
Tips for creating your customized website
GoDaddy, which is in the business of domain registration and web hosting, shares some tips on how to get started creating a fully customized website:
- The first step is to choose the domain name you want to register. It should be easy to write, short and self-explanatory, avoiding numbers and hyphens. If you need help, in GoDaddy they have their own search tool.
- Once that is done, it is time to start creating the website, that is, to design it. For that there are also a multitude of very easy to use tools. For example, GoDaddy includes its own with more than 1,500 customizable templates that greatly facilitate the work.
- The personalization of the design is fundamental. Include the favorite color of the person to whom the gift is addressed (but do not overload it); choose a simple and easy-to-read typography in digital format; use phrases, messages and photographs that identify you, etc.
Organize photos of your trips and share experiences with your friends.
The best thing about this type of gift is that it remains in time and can be updated with new images, videos or messages and organized by moments, events or trips.
