Memorial WebsitesWhat's included in a memorial website?
A memorial website brings a life story or obituary, photographs, video tributes, service details and a guestbook together in a mobile-friendly space. We can include a timeline of memories and help organize the material. Tell us your timing and priorities, and we will provide a clear quote.
Can family and friends leave condolences?
Yes. A guestbook lets family and friends share condolences and memories from wherever they are. We will discuss access and how contributions should be managed when planning the site, so it feels comfortable for your family.
Do you build memorial websites for pets?
Yes. We create memorial websites for pets, including photographs, stories and a place to share memories. You can choose a simple tribute or a fuller collection, and we will help you decide what feels right.
Can we include donation or charity links?
Yes. We can link to your chosen charity or memorial fund. Send the correct donation page and preferred wording so visitors can reach the intended organization directly.
Who can manage or update the memorial site?
You choose who can manage the site. We can give one or more family members access to add photographs and updates. We will explain the editing options and confirm any ongoing support in your project plan.
Do you work with funeral homes?
Yes. With your authorization, we can coordinate with a funeral home on photographs, service details and timing. Let us know who your contact is and what information you would like shared so communication stays clear.
Do you offer anniversary reminders?
Anniversary reminders can be included in the project plan. Tell us the dates, recipients and type of reminder you want so we can confirm the setup, consent arrangements and any ongoing service costs before adding them.
Can we choose a temporary or permanent website?
Yes. A temporary site uses a subdomain of porthosmedia.net with an agreed hosting period. A permanent site uses its own domain with ongoing hosting and renewal arrangements. We will explain the costs, support and options for keeping or closing the site before you decide.
Project Planning & PaymentCan I get a quote before booking my project?
Yes. Tell us what you would like us to create, what material you already have and when you need it. We will confirm the scope, deliverables, expected cost and schedule before work begins.
How long will my project take?
The timeline depends on the scope, the material you provide, any reviews or edits, and our current schedule. Tell us your deadline when you enquire. We will confirm an estimated schedule before you book rather than promise a fixed turnaround for every project.
Do I have to pay before or after the work is done?
Payment terms are confirmed with your estimate. A deposit may be needed for some projects, and final payment is typically due before files and originals are released. You will know the payment schedule before deciding to go ahead.
What payment methods do you accept?
Use the payment options shown on your invoice. These can include card, PayPal and Interac e-Transfer. If you need a particular payment method, ask us when requesting your estimate.
Creative Files & DeliveryHow should I send you my digital files?
Contact us with an outline of your project and the type and approximate size of your files. We will confirm a suitable sharing method before you send a large collection. Include any instructions, preferred order, names and deadlines with your material.
