my wedding, chapter 1A - communication

chapter 1A - the website

Being a graphic designer, this was the most fun and the most challenging part of the planning/design process. I wanted everything to be perfect, and having me as the client, it was going to be tough...

I researched and researched for the best wedding websites out there. I wanted something that I could customize, wasn't cheesey, looked like it was current (you'd be surprised the number of html circa 1993 sites that are out there...) and a site that was easy to use. I knew I needed to get it up before sending out the save-the-dates (STD) as that would be the first place I would list the url.

I decided on using the Wedorama service as it had a modern and somewhat customizable design. Also, it allows you to pick your own unique web address. You can get a discount on their subscription fee if you follow links from sites like The Knot and Wedding Channel. Below are some screen shots of my site:



Some of the fun features that Wedorama had were the photo album, the guestbook and uploading your own song to play on the site! We picked "Better Together" by Jack Johnson.
