Internet for genealogists & family historians.

Welcome to GenProxy, for many years we had created simple "content over style" websites for genealogists and family historians who did not have a computer or internet access of their own (Genealogy by Proxy) Over the last 10 years the use of computers at home has proliferated and the internet has grown to over 4 billion pages, millions of these pages are dedicated resources for genealogy and family history research. As our potential client base are now very well catered for by their own computers and this massive online resource we feel we can wind down GenProxy.
Our sister company NetProxy will continue to supply domain names, design & host business and trade websites...

Have a laugh, here is our 1996 simple web page - you can see how the internet has advanced

Content over Style:

Content over style web sites have a simple layout with clear highlighted text links to other pages or sections of the site, the text used is usually fairly large and in high contrast with a plainish background so that it is easy to read, even with poor eyesight or an old low resolution black / white monitor. The content of the site is of paramount importance not the style or layout, includes most original genealogy sites and simple informative business 'brochure' websites try this Sellitt and Soon website for second hand furniture, electrical goods, antiques & collectables in Beverley.

A Balance of Style and Content:

A good balance of both can be used on a business website with plenty of content, here on Garage Equipment site there are dynamic dropdown or popout menus, scrolling information boards, content management pages (where the site owner can update or change certain text and images from a PC anywhere in the world) and the whole interface looks "busy" but not so cluttered that it is hard for a visitor to find their way around.

Style over Content:

Often seen in top of the range multimedia sites but sometimes used for small websites to mask the fact there is little actual content or fewer than five pages. A flash "movie" and animated flash navigation is useful when a business owner simply wants his company name to have a web "presence" or on-line brochure but not to sell his product or service over the internet.
