Custom Baby Website: a Great Way to Share Your
Baby's Development
By Michael Reeps
My
wife and I had our first child last year, and very shortly
thereafter, emailing new photos and updates of our little angel
became a common activity. Being a web designer by trade, I
decided to build a little web site for our baby, and invite
family an friends to go there to get the latest. As more people
visited, I added password protection, automatic email alerts
for new photos, a blog, etc.
This
required having a web site name and web hosting, hours of coding,
and formal and professional training in web design. While that
worked fine for me, when a friend asked me to build one for
their baby, I knew I was in trouble. I truly wanted others
to have a custom, secure web site for their baby, but did not
want to be up late at night building them! Further, sites like
oFoto and Blogger are great for sharing photos and journal
entries, respectively, but my site did all of that in one place,
and so much more. Plus, it was specific to babies, new parents,
family and friends.
Finally, I decided to make sites just like the one I built for
my daughter available to the public at large. Using the latest
web technologies, I built it so anyone can build a custom baby
website for their child. They get to share a home page, photo
albums, journal entries, milestones, guestbook and more, with
professionally designed templates, or themes. Plus, only the
people they invite get to see the baby's site. That keep hackers
and search engines out, which was important to me when I built
my daughter's site. Also there are absolutely no advertisements
on the baby's site.
I think that the end result is very true in spirit to the initial
site I made for our daughter, and based upon early returns, parents
really enjoy making their sites and inviting family and friends.
I made it so easy, that if you can type an email and attach a
photo, you can have a custom web site for your baby up and running
in minutes. I think it is a great idea for parents as well as
a unique baby shower gift. I hope you check it out, and decide
to get one for your baby, or send one as a gift. If nothing else,
let me know what you think of the site!
