Why should I use familytiez.com?

Family websites are a great way of keeping in touch with family members. Anyone writing letters and sending photos knows just how difficult it can be when attempting to communicate with the whole family. Now you can stay in touch through the use of the web, saving endless phone calls and separate letters and emails.

You don't need to download any software or do any programming, and communications can be done just through email or the web or a combination of both. Editing functions are easy to use and understand so you benefit fully from your participation. The web editor is similar to a word processor, click and edit calendar and easy to use photo album options.

How does it work?

Registering as a Family Manager about five minutes. Once this information is received by the website administrator, your pages will be created, and your permissions will be set up. You can then edit and maintain your basic web pages created for you by the website administrator. You can instantly invite family, friends, colleagues, or anyone you would like to view your family pages.

Each Family has its own home page with all the latest family information. Each Family has their own album to spread their latest photos. Having a central, shared calendar means you'll never miss another birthday or event again. Each Family has their own separate calendar to track their family happenings, events and schedules.

Sharing Photos

Sharing photos with the Group is easy to do. Depending on how permissions are set, members can add their own photo albums and pictures. You control who may add, edit, or delete pictures in photo albums.

Sharing Information

Sharing interesting news, contact detail, files and web links couldn't be easier.
