I LOVE LOVE LOVE google pages. If you have gmail (or just sign up) its free. All you do is copy and paste... its soooo easy... heres my planning site...
I didn't like the limitations of the wedding Web sites where you set up your own using their template, so I created my own on blogger for free. I knew what I wanted to post and what I didn't, so I went with that. Here's my site:
www.weddingtracker.com --- if you join The Knot (free) you get 1/2 off so it is $30.00 for the year. IF you would like to see my site pm me and I'll send you the link.
Wedding Window. Great features with password protection on various levels and pages, good technical support, many features. It's amazing, and I paid a year's term for I think $89.
I did weddingwire.com. It's completely free and actually has some nice features to it. You can track your guest list as well as have your guests RSVP from the website. It will let you know who is coming to rehearsal, reception, ceremony, etc. You can also plan and design your seating and then seat your guests at tables.
mine is a little different i think. i'm a bit familiar with HTML and i've built a small website before. i've had a host for quite awhile named http://xfluro.com and i just used my space there for our wedding website. it's about $54 per year for 250MB disk space and you get a free domain name (www.yournameandfiancename.com)
You can create a pretty decent free website on Wedding channel.com. I was able to get ournames.weddigns.com for the address so it isn't too difficult for guests. It is really easy to use and it had everything I needed. I think if you click on my name it takes you to my site. I really haven't worked on it much yet so it is still very much under construction but it give you an idea of what one looks like.
We did mywedding.com too and loved it. The website name was easy and it was free. We also turned on the RSVP page so we had that plus the password protection.
There are so many free sites out there that I don't really suggest doling out the money.
The one that me and my husband used is through www.WeddingWire.com. Like the other free sites, they have a ton of templates and storage (but they even give you a customizable URL).
However, the big push for us was the RSVP, weather, and nearby attraction tools that they offered for free to add to your website. We planned our guest list out on weddingwire, which integrated nicely through our free webpage (guests visited our webpag, RSVPed, and it updates on the Guest Planning tool). This saved a ridiculous amount of time.
where are you guys hosting your website? how much is it costing?

I love them because they're FREE and their RSVP function lets you have PIN codes and allows you to put in a guest w/o their names.
Only con is their limited selection of templates...but they're suppose to come out with new ones so I'm waiting patiently for those.

posted by Shay 3 months agoI did weddingtracker.com too and really like it. It allows you to have your actual name and a .com so that it is www.brideandgroomname.com versus www.brideandgroomname.weddingwebsite900weddingblahblahblah.com you know? I thought the simple our names.com would look better on the save the date etc.....
I didn't do the knot thing (i didn't know... darn!) and it was $60 for a full year. you can have it password protected etc if you want.

It is VERY cool. Hope this helps
