LegacyBuilder Helps Families Tell Their Stories

LegacyBuilder.com (LegacyBuilder LLC) is a private website that allows families to create their story and preserve a digital legacy for generations to come.

The digital photo and video management tools make it easy for members to document their family’s stories and moments through timelines, photos, videos, documents, and personal messages. As part of its beta launch, for a limited time it will offer free lifetime accounts for those who become members.

Unique to the service is its vault technology, which allows members to create digital time capsules to store personal messages, videos and photos that can be unlocked by family members on a specific date, special occasion or milestone in their life. Words of wisdom, funny stories or lessons learned, it will deliver them when the time is right, tomorrow or years into the future.

The digital photo and video management tools allow users to sync and organize entire folders of photos and videos from their desktop, social networks, photo sharing sites or file hosting services. Important life events on family member timelines are created automatically, including birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and weddings.

Members can design custom pages for themselves, their children and spouses, as well as dedication pages for a loved one who has passed. Family accounts allow members to link each family member’s story to create a digital family legacy. Members control access to their pages, which can remain private, visible to a select group of family and friends, shared via social networks or made public. Parents can also create and manage pages for their children until they’re old enough to start telling their own story.

“LegacyBuilder was born from a simple belief that every family’s story matters and should be preserved for future generations. We wanted to give people a simple way to capture and share all of life’s precious moments – big and small – that tell their unique story,” said company founder John Boaz. “It was also very important to us to give our members the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their traditions, life lessons, and words of love and wisdom are saved for their children and for generations to come. LegacyBuilder combines the familiarity of social media and the organization of digital photo sites with a powerful, multimedia platform to create a profound family experience.”

Consumers who sign up now will receive a free lifetime account with 25GB of storage, unlimited vaults and family account options.
