    basically like wordpress is meant for blogging, so if i create from scratch i can make sure the features of a family website are the main components. For Wordpress it was blogging and was initially targeted to bloggers.

        i was thinking of creating a unique downloadable and extensable website for creating family website, something like wordpress but more focused on families. like with family tree, photo album, video, contacts and news, what typically a family website has. Som ething like a private facebook A completely Free, downloadable and extensible model. What do you guys think ? Is it worth taking the effort ? What other suggestion you will give me ?

        It has been done many times already. Unless your site offers something new and exciting that the others don't then I would not bother.

          Do not listen to Richard; spend as much time as possible on this. That way, the viable opportunities will be left for the rest of us.

              These are usually focused around photos, so every photo web site is more half way to what you are proposing.

                        Huh? Exactly what market are you targeting with this? The average family probably can't host a website. The average family certainly can't extend it.

                              If I were you, I wouldn't spend a lot of time doing everything from Scracth. Instead, I would do a "family" template for an existing Content Management System, for instance Umbraco[^]
