There are many benefits of presenting your baby's photos on your own personal website and photo gallery. To name a few, you no longer have to create an album and then invite select users to view this album by sending them an email link like http://thisisaverylongurltotype/sojustgohere?.asp. Instead, they can go to this child's site at http://www.siteforbaby.com/YOURBABYNAME whenever they want and view all photos. Additionally, you have the ability to not only share the photos, but also the ability to upload videos, add entire pages about vacations you have taken or even dedicate a page to each milestone in your chil's life. You can also allow visitors to comment in your guestbook. For more information on the great benefits, check out the Site for Baby Features!
Your own personal site for your child is only $149 to sign up and that includes the first year of website hosting absolutely FREE. While it is true you can go out and get a free website with advertising, we wouldn't want our child's site offering advertisements for butt cream and don't think you would either. So, we charge enough to cover the costs for our designer to create new templates, to update the system and to provide you with the features you want. This way, your child can have their own custom site and the site visitors don't have to see unnecessary advertisements!
ABSOLUTELY! It is our belief that you shouldn't have to pay for something you don't like and then worry about returning it. Instead, we invite you to sign-up and try a site out for a full month. Upload photos and videos, create your own pages and even change your baby's information if you want. Then, after 30 days, just login to your own custom control panel and either sign-up for a permanent site or cancel. You don't even have to provide a credit card until you are ready to sign up. ALL of the features are included during the trial so that you can truly get a feel for your Site for Baby.
Site for Baby comes with many different features which can be seen on the Features page of this site. The most important feature is your ability to change anything and everything on the website through an easy to use editor.
Our sign-up form is so easy that most people can have their site created and ready for visitors in less than 10 minutes, especially if you have a few of your child's pictures handy to upload. Furthermore, once you are setup, as long as you can use a program like Microsoft Word, you can update your site easily as there is no need to understand anything about web design or programming.
That is completely up to you. We have found that some people like to update their photo gallery once or twice a week while others put up new photos or pages daily. The more you put in, the more your family and friends will enjoy it.
As soon as you fill out your sign-up form, you will receive an email asking you to verify that it was you who signed up. As soon as you click the link which was emailed to you, your website will be setup and ready to be managed.
Our photo gallery system will automatically resize your photos so that they appear as both a small thumbnail and a large image for people to see. However, unlike other sites who limit the number of photos you can upload, we don't.
MOST DEFINITELY! For a nominal fee, you can go into your control panel and select any design as often as you would like. Since we are creating new designs on a weekly basis with three different layouts for each design, all you need to do is login to your control panel and select a new design.
When you have added new pictures, stories or videos to your website you can send an email to friends and family containing the link to your Siteforbaby. You no longer have to tell people to go to a photo sharing site and sign-in. Better yet, your friends and family will like the site so much that you will find they no longer wait for your reminders to check it out, but instead go to the site on their own, since the web address is easy to remember, in the hopes that you have put up some new photos of your little one!
No. The only emails you will receive from SiteforBaby will be regarding your account with us. We occasionally send out newsletters with news and tips & tricks but you can elect to not receive the newsletter.
Of course! We understand that some people would prefer not to keep their site open to the public. All you need to do is select the option for a password of your choice. Then just give that password to your friends and family.
The real strength behind Site for Baby is that it is developed on a Content Management System that is used by many businesses and non-profit organizations known as CMS Works. In addition to having the photo gallery and other baby centric components, the system is built on a world class database platform and architecture, providing each Site for Baby member with full control of their very own website.
Yes! In addition to providing the designs that currently exist, we do offer custom designs for your own Site for Baby. For more information, email us at customdesigns@siteforbaby.com.
If you are unhappy with your site during the first 30 days, just cancel the account through your control panel. You don't even need to call us and worry about receiving a credit, as you never even gave us your credit card information.
