Reasons for a Web 2.0 Website for the Genealogy Professional
This type of website has been available at a cost to clients of eXpertGenealogy.com for many years. An excellent example is at http://kennethwmilano.com. For those who wish to have their own domain name, this is an inexpensive and effective solution. This year, Google has introduced a similar free service for those who do not need their own domain names. The service is described at http://www.google.com/sites/overview.html. An example is at http://sites.google.com/a/expertgenealogy.com/expertgenealogy. Case Study - http://kennethwmilano.com
Because this website can be updated easily with your standard web browser, the information can be kept current.
This website was created by Ken Milano with collaboration with other colleagues. The web 2.0 capabilities allowed multiple people to contribute to the information content of the website.
Another feature of this website is the ability to do e-commerce and establish an environment where visitor can purchase multiple products via a typical shopping cart application. See the example at http://kennethwmilano.com/page/Products/tabid/91/Default.aspx It is with pride that the website http://kennethwmilano.com is hosted by the associated service at http://eHostPort.com Questions about website development and hosting should be directed to support@eXpertGenealogy.com

Web 2.0 websites support a collaborative environment where more that one
person can contribute to the website. The website requires authentication and
therefore your can restrict access to these type of website. This is ideal for
sharing genealogical information where some of the information may be private
and you may wish to restrict access to all or part of your website to specific
family members. Access is controlled by requiring users to provide a name and
password to access restricted parts of your website. 
Google states that if you wish to be found by their search engine amongst the
millions of websites then you must provide lots of information content about the
subject of your website. Ken Milano specializes in Philadelphia research. His
website includes a significant amount of information about Philadelphia in his
