Using A Wedding Website Service To Create Your Wedding Planning Website
Now that you’ve decided to launch your own wedding planning website, unless you are an experienced Internet techie, you will probably need a little guidance. The online software provided by wedding website services will help you create an easy-to-navigate, multi-functional site. By following the directions for writing text, uploading photos and graphics, and incorporating wedding-planning features, you can streamline your planning process, save time, and cut down on unnecessary stress. In many ways, wedding website services are the middle ground between trying to make a personal website or blog "wedding friendly" and hiring a professional website designer to create your site from scratch. While wedding website services are more limited in their structure than custom-designed sites, they are less expensive. They are also more flexible than general, low-cost or no-cost personal website or blogging services, because the wedding planning features you need are built in and at your fingertips. Most Helpful Wedding Website Service FeaturesThere are many features of a wedding website that are fun to use and entertaining to read, such as photo albums, biographies, polls, and quotes. But the big appeals of these sites are that they save you time and streamline communication with your wedding party and guests. Website management: Generally, wedding website services have very user-friendly interfaces, which make set-up time minimal, even if you don’t have a lot of experience. You can set up and manage your website directly, add content, and include or exclude different features with the click of your mouse. Event details: With most services, you can share details about wedding-related events, such as bridal party fittings, bridal showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, the rehearsal dinner and reception, and the wedding itself. You can include the locations of various events, driving directions, times and dates, links to websites with more information about the venues, and other relevant information. All of these options minimize the time you would otherwise spend conveying all of this information in person or on the phone. They also ensure that everyone gets the same information at the same time. Directions for out-of-town and other guests: if you have ever tried to give several people detailed directions to the same destination, you know how frustrating and time consuming that can be. Think how much easier (and consistent) it is to simply post the location of each event and directions for getting there on your wedding planning website. With some services, you can even include interactive maps. Email communication: Most people are familiar with e-mail, so why not take advantage that familiarity? Good wedding website services provide e-mail programs that make it easy to send scheduling updates, late-breaking news, progress reports, photos, and personal tidbits to your wedding party and guests. Email also allows you to accept RSVPs and hear from all of your friends and relatives. Costs vary depending on the particular service. We have researched several wedding website services and found Wedding Orchid to be an excellent value. The website management/set-up interface is very intuitive accept RSVPs from guests, the service offers a wide variety of features, and it is easy to edit or add sections to your site. The cost is low at under $4.00 per month. |
