Wedding Website Address

HOW WILL MY GUESTS FIND MY WEDDING WEBSITE?

When you purchase your wedding website and select your preferred wedding website address, we secure your .com address within 24 hours to ensure it isn't taken by someone else. We also upload a Save The Date page which shows your names, wedding date, photo and says 'this site will be updated shortly with full details'. The Save The Date page is replaced with your real site when it is launched. Click here to view an example of our Save The Date page.

I ALREADY HAVE MY OWN DOMAIN NAME THAT I HAVE PURCHASED ELSEWHERE. CAN I STILL USE THIS DOMAIN NAME?

Yes no problem. You simply have to point your name servers to our server. This only takes a few minutes to do. We can do it for you or send you the instructions on how to set your name servers. We can also give you a $20 discount for having your own domain name.

DO I NEED MY OWN WEBSITE HOSTING ACCOUNT?

No - we are responsible for hosting your wedding website and linking your wedding website address to your site. We have our own dedicated server which allows for faster loading of your sites. We have full backup procedures in place.

Photos <top>

HOW MANY PHOTOS CAN I POST ON MY WEDDING WEBSITE?

You can have as many photos as you like on each page of your site. You may wish to have 3 rotating pictures on your Welcome page and 10 scrolling photos on your Intro page for example. We don't count the number of pictures on your actual pages.

The number of album photos you are allowed depends on which Package you select . This information can be found on the 'Order' and 'How it Works page'. For example the Premium 1 package allows 72 photos in the photo gallery. It's no problem to link to an outside gallery like Kodak if you wish to upload a lot of album photos - this can be handy if you if you have hundreds of wedding photos for example.

I DON'T HAVE AND DON'T WANT COUPLE PHOTOS ON MY SITE. CAN YOU STILL DESIGN A SITE FOR ME ?

Yes we can design your site with background photos rather than couple photos. Click here for an example of a site with no couple photos.

IN WHAT FORMAT DO MY PHOTOS NEED TO BE SAVED?

Your digital pictures need to be in JPEG format. The better the quality of the pictures, the nicer it will look on your site. We require the pictures to be at least 900x600 pixels. The larger the pictures the better as this will allow us to crop or zoom in if need be.

HOW DO I GET MY PICTURES ONTO MY WEBSITE?

We design the site for you so you just need to send us the pictures and your text. We have an online photo account where you can upload your pictures. We will send you instructions on how to do this. You will need to specify which photo you want us to use on each page of your site although you can leave the entire creative process to us if you wish. We will then design the site for you.

WILL I HAVE THE ABILITY TO INCLUDE MY WEDDING AND HONEYMOON PHOTOS?

Yes, you can include any photos you like. We can add them to the Photo Gallery page as an album. The number of photographs you have depends on which package you choose. If you have exceeded your album allowance then you can purchase additional album pages if you like. We charge $4 for each album page. If you'd prefer not to spend money then we can link to an external album like Kodak for your wedding and honeymoon pictures.

We can also replace the intro and homepage pictures with wedding pictures after you are married. There is no charge for this. The Welcome page can be changed to an Our Thanks page thanking your guests for coming to the wedding etc. Again, there is no charge for this.

DO YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PHOTO GALLERY DESIGNS ?

Yes we have 3 different photo gallery designs:

1. Standard with thumbnails. Click here for an example. Captions can be included.

2. Slideshow. Click here for an example. This design is better for wedding photos as captions are not included.

3. Sliding or Scrolling. Click here for an example. Captions can be included.

CAN I REPLACE ANY OF THE PHOTOS I HAVE UPLOADED AT ANY TIME?

All edits are included in the package price. So if you don't like a picture we can swap it out for you. All communication is done by email so you can easily tell your designer what you want changed.

IF I WANT TO USE A BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO FOR MY HOME PAGE BUT THE PHOTO I WANT TO USE IS IN COLOR, CAN YOU CHANGE IT FOR ME?

Yes we can easily convert any color photo to black and white for you.

I HAVE SOME PHOTOS THAT NEED TO BE CROPPED, CAN THIS BE DONE?

Yes, this is part of our service to you. We do all photo enhancements, cropping, airbrushing for you.

 

Security <top>

CAN MY WEDDING WEBSITE BE PASSWORD PROTECTED?

Yes. We can add a username and passord to your site or to individual pages. We can also password-protect the details of a particular wedding event if you like. . You will have to communicate the username and password to your guests yourself.

WILL MY TRANSACTION BE SECURE?

WeddingOrg offers 100% secure transactions that keep your credit card and personal information completely secure. We use the PayPal system which is internationally recognized as a secure online transaction system.

PayPal uses SSL technology to keep your information safe. In addition, when you send a payment using PayPal, the recipient won't receive your sensitive financial information like your credit card or bank account number. This way, you don't have to worry about paying people you don't know.

Please note that you do not have to have a paypal account as you can simply pay by credit card or debit card instead. You can also pay by bank transfer if you are transferring from a UK or Hong Kong bank account.

CAN YOU BUILD A CUSTOM WEDDING WEBSITE FOR ME?

Your site will be totally customized to your every need. We usually show new clients some sites we've done recently so you can pick and choose which design aspects you like from these sites to create the site you need. For example, you may or may not want the sliding intro, or you may or may not want a video on your homepage.

We do not charge for minor customizations this includes incorporating your wedding colors into your wedding website. Backgrounds chosen to match your wedding colors for no extra charge. We choose a background we think blends in nicely with your photo the end result being a website that is totally unique. We can also design any page for you or change an existing page to suit your requirements for no extra charge.

CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR BILINGUAL WEDDING WEBSITES ?

We can design a bilingual site for you. There is an additional fee for this. This will allow your guests to view the site in English and whatever other language you choose.

Please contact us for examples of bilingual sites we've done in the past. Click here for an example. We can also design non-English sites. For example we've just designed a Spanish and Portuguese wedding website. A wed site in 3 languages is also no problem.

I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER THE WEDDING PARTY PAGE BUT DOES THIS COUNT AS 1 PAGE OR 3 PAGES?

This counts as 1 page although it actually consists of 3 pages. The first page shows the bride & groom, the 2nd page and 3rd pages show the rest of the wedding party. We have various wedding party page designs - you can have just a write-up on each wedding party person, or a write-up and a photo, or just a photo of each wedding party person. We can even do bridal party slideshow.

I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER THE PAGES 'ABOUT THE BRIDE' AND 'ABOUT THE GROOM'. DOES THIS COUNT AS 1 PAGE OR 2 PAGES?

This counts as 1 page although it consists of 2 pages. The first page is 'About the Bride' and the 2nd page is 'About the Groom'.

I DO NOT HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE MY SITE, CAN I STILL LAUNCH THE SITE AND GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION LATER?

Yes. We understand that you may not have all the information available to complete your site. We can always add missing information after your site is launched (when the info becomes available). We do advise however that we like to receive at least 80% of your information and pictures as we don't like your guests to be disappointed with lots of 'coming soon' messages. We like your guests to be blown away when they first see your site. If however, you urgently need to display certain information before your real site is designed, then we can add it to your Save The Date Page. For example, we can add the Travel Info & Accommodations page to your Save The Date Page if need be. Click here for an example.

CAN I CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE PAGES?

Yes. You can have any menu order you like.

CAN I HAVE A DIFFERENT MENU TO THE TEMPLATE I WANT TO ORDER?

Yes. You can have a top menu, side menu or bottom menu.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT FONT TO THE ONE ON THE TEMPLATE?

You can have any font color but we will be using the font that is on that template.

IF I PICK THE "WEDDING EVENTS" PAGE, DOES THAT COUNT AS 1 OR 5 PAGES?

The Wedding Events Page is only one page. You can have as many sub-pages or pop-up pages as you need. These are useful if you have lots of information you need to include on 1 page.

WHO CREATES MY WEBSITE? IS THIS A DO-IT-YOURSELF SERVICE?
