A collection of historical and genalogical records

Getting web design right for the modern user

Getting the website right for the modern user is a problem that I am struggling to respond to.

Of the 11,000+ visitors to X-Factor finalist Jahmene Douglas's page in the past month, nearly 2,000 used a mobile phone or tablet. However, my page design was done before the mobile phenomenon.

The Douglas Archives has over 5,000 files, so the work involved in transferring them to a new format seems insurmountable.

Any ideas?

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
