SympathyTree was founded to provide virtual memorial services to the bereaved during their time of grief onward. Each memorial needed to be simple to create, allow user content to be added and notifications to be sent, and provide a polished, compassionate design to respectfully honor the deceased.
The Solution
Utilizing social networking technologies including email notifications, blog posting, commenting, and image and video uploading, SolutionSet worked with SympathyTree to create a technical architecture that allows users to create and personalize their own individual "blog-like" portal. Users are then able to upload their own personal contacts list from a variety of address book applications, create an events calendar, alert contacts via email as new events and stories are updated, and provide links to help others express their condolences.
The Result
The end result: a flexible, easy-to-use virtual memorial tool that allows anyone to create, customize, communicate, and cherish the deceased.
