A complete website, managed with your data
A private Story website for your family or community, with chapters, people, and places organized the way a curator decides they should be.
Websites and embeds
Your public side, connected to your real system.
Host a complete site with Simply Stories, or embed forms, calendars, and directories into the website you already love — either way, everything writes to the same system your team uses.
Keep your website. Add the workflows.
Keep the Story private to the people you invite, or open specific chapters further once a curator decides they are ready.
Forms that create real records
Contribution and correction requests become simple forms that land on the right record for a curator to review — no account needed for an invited contributor.
Calendars and directories from live data
Chapters and moments read as a narrative, not a database — approved material tells the Story in the order a curator chooses.
Public pages, no passwords
Give invited family and community members a private, self-serve way to browse the Story and add what they know.
Built for search from day one
A public version of the Story, publishable when a curator and your family are ready, is designed into the product and not yet open for general use.
Only need the website builder first? Start with Simply Websites
The same public site can also host a connected fundraiser with Simply Raffles — raffle entries, packages, prizes, eligibility, reports, and recorded winners stay with the team’s real data.
