Here's my cousin's. I thoguht she did a really good job, with all the sections/information she put on it. The design could be more modern, sophisticated, but it's not like a business website so...
I LOVE mine - it's so worth the $79! The budget tool is awesome, they have the best customer service - I had an issue uploading my guest list and they did it for me in a day!
They add new features and options every day and have a TON of page layout options and you can change it as much as you want if need be. When I started mine I had different colors in mind then I do now for the wedding, I just clicked and had a new "look".
I use wedshare.com and though I think you sound like you are making your own I think it might offer you some good ideas about what to add (pages) some things I didn't think I would need and have actually used a lot.
They have free tours and you can look at everything in there - maybe worth a look.
my page is private, but I hope looking at what they do offer might help you a bit.
I just use mywedding.com, because its free and easy....with all the money I am spending on the wedding, I really couldn't see paying for a website too! yes some are nicer, but I am perfectly content with ours!

I'm using iWeb on my Mac to design our site pretty much from scratch. It's been awesome to have complete control over the design and iWeb is SOOO easy to use! We then host it on our .Mac account and I do a blind forward from the domain I bought from yahoo. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! I've had so much fun doing it and update it fairly oftin. I love the blog feature! And all my friends enjoy following along with our planning.
I have a personal website that I just used a forwarding link to use my personal hosting account:
Here's our website that I created through weddingtracker.com. Hope it helps!
i use wedquarters.com
danibelandmanuel.wedquarters.com
its about $30 a year, and for an extra $14, you can have your own domain name.
i used wequarters as well, and i love it! i tried out a few sites during the free trial period, and wedquarters was the winner. it's not free, but $30 for 12 months is much more reasonable than the $10/month or $80 for the year that other sites ask for. plus, it's extremely user friendly and they have some great designs.
here's our link:
www.rylovesmel.wedquarters.com
hope this helps!
Here's our ewedding website: http://www.nigelandjackie.com. Good luck!
Thanks everyone.
Our site is www.natalieandjake2008.com. Jake designed it and I am not sure how he did it, but I know we didn't use any wedding website software.
we are using weddingannouncer.com. the graphics are nothing to be impressed about but they do have a list of topics you can view to get ideas for what you want to present (i.e honeymoon, how we met, things to do etc)
Beccs and Bonnie, I'm also using iWeb, and LOVE it! It took a few nights of tinkering with it to figure out what I was doing, but I basically created my own template from one of the templates they offer (moving things around to my liking, adding my own header in the form of a jpeg I created in Photoshop, etc.), then just duplicate the homepage each time I'm creating a new page and change the body copy or whatever I want to change. I basically built the entire website over 4 nights this week.... still have some content to add, but it's super easy and fun! I also have a .Mac account but I will buy another domain name to make it easier for our guests (probably no more than $15 for a year, I think)?
I will send you a Private Message with the link and login/password for you to see, if you'd like, since I'd rather not post that on here :-)
where did yall buy webspace and a domain? i glanced at the yahoo prices for webspace but i'm not sure if its expensive or not for what you get? does anyone have any recommendations?
i use godaddy.com for both domain registration and hosting. it was about $7 for the domain name and $50 for hosting for a year. the customer service is good also. i'd recommend them highly!
Go daddy is the best place to get registered and hosted.
Mine's still under contstruction, but you can check it out:
cool! sounds like Godaddy is the webserver to use.
Mandy i like your site! thanks for sharing it! i like the layout- its cute yet classy. =)
I disaree on godaddy for the long haul - I've heard a lot about bad service and such. If you're pretty techy, I host my website with http://bluehost.com. It was the cheapest I could find with the most options, space, bandwidth, etc. It's great if you're creating your own site from scratch - easy to drag and drop files, etc. plus add email accounts.
here's ours for a destination wedding: www.andresandmarisa.com password: (email me and I'll send it to you) just a sidenote, making a website was one of the best decisions we've made so far. every time anyone asks a question about the wedding, we just direct them to our website. good luck!
marisa, what web hosting did you use? did you use either godaddy or bluhost?
i still have yet to purchase any domain space so the feedback really helps!
GoDaddy has it's drawbacks, as does any hosting site, really. BlueHost isn't bad, but unless you're a big website designer, you most likely won't notice anything different.
GoDaddy has great customer support and are willing to walk you through the entire process with a friendly, knowledgable staff. Anytime I had a question, issue or concern, they were ready and willing to get it resolved in the first call. That's just my experience (I've been using them for almost 7 years) and IMO.
My website is finally all finished (with flash and animation, too) and completely live! Thanks for the compliment kbok!
If you are having a Jewish wedding and want to post your ketubah photo on line, http://www.ketubah-gallery.com will allow you to borrow their images with permission-they have a really nice one for a destination wedding that we almost bought, but got a Papercut ketubah instead. We're not finished our wedding site yet.
i used weddingtracker.com. there is a $60 annual fee, but i'd highly recommend this host site because:
there are a ton of other nifty features that weddingtracker.com offers, but these are the ones i've found most useful so far...
Does anyone know of a wedding web site program that requires visitors to login with a username and password? I don't want my web site to be public -- I want to restrict who can see it.
Hey you guys! Sorry! I totally haven't been checking on this thread. I totally love iWeb! It's so freaking easy to use. And it works so seamlessly with the other parts of the iLife package. I highly recommend it! They have a lot of templates but also give you the option of doing a lot of customization! I was able to pretty much design ours from scratch and I'm always messing with it. I love the blog feature although I haven't been keeping up with it lately. Too much time spent on weddingbee I guess. :-) I know I'm a huge geek but I actually requested and got iLife '08 and iWork '08 for my birthday! I totally love it, and use the Pages software for all my table layouts and such. And the Numbers software (all apart of iWork) already has a template for wedding planning with a guest list and budget and everything. I know, I know, I'm a geek! But MAC's RULE!
c-girl, I know you can lock websites that are created in iWeb and if I remember correctly, TheKnot has that option too as does ewedding, which my friend is using.
I would encourage you to use blogger. I started there and have had nothing but good times updating my wedding blog. Best of luck!
you can lock a website with username and password with almost any webhosting package...you just go into the settings and check the option to require password and set it!
Check out www.weddingwindow.com (or specifically, this link: http://www.weddingwindow.com/popular-wedding-websites.cfm) for ideas as to what sections to have on your page. If you check out their sample layouts, you can actually click around a simulated page with all of those sections for ideas. I hope this helps!
c-girl - are you making your own website (writing the code yourself or using a web design software)? or are you going to use an online wedding website server (e.g. wedding channel, wedding tracker).
i think if you are making your own than you'd have to code the "user name & password" required into the first page of your site, or use a webdesign software that allows you to do that. (such as iWeb as stated above).
or if you buy a wedding website through an online server, i think they provide that option as others have stated.

I want to start designing my wedding website, but I was curious if I could get some links to examples.
