Personal type web pages can be built for any number of reasons.  There are sites that just have photos of a favorite car.  This type of web building, since it is free, can be built for any reason you can think of! 

A personal or family website is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Personal web hosting services don't have to be complicated or expensive. So don't let limitations on budget or even knowledge of the Internet keep you and you from offering any or all of the following:
 

• Clean, attractive homepage to introduce your personal website.

• User-friendly administrative interface that any teen or adult can handle.

• The ability to add photos of your precious family.

• A calendar of special events and locations.

• A guestbook where family and friends can acknowledge their visits.

• Inspirational music that plays each time someone goes to your site.

• A location map to help people find your home.

• An email newsletter that you can fill with news about the latest family happenings.

• One or more information forms to help visitors contact you… and provide you with details about the relatives and friends who have found your site.
