hi there..

anyone knows how to set music to my homepage, such that when ppl are browsing my webpage, they can hear music as well?

many thanks in advance!

 

[hatemenot]

There's this free site i saw at http://www.mywedding.com

very professional looking..

but i saw it AFTER i subscribed to www.weddingwindow.com =___=

anyway wedding window is really easy to use and alot of suggestions for those lazy brides

 

[sailormoonwt]

hi tete ... i m browsing for free wedding website as well ... realised tat quite limited selection wor ... those nice ones hv to pay leh ... they only let u use a trial period of 7 days and some only maintain for 12 mths...

for the weddingwindow...its reali very lovely but hv to pay for the website right? i had browse thru mywedding as well but the designs/templates r not as fantastic as the weddingwindow... how much did u pay for it?

 

[hatemenot]

yeah...

i chose wedding window in the end cos i dont have time or knowledge of HTML, wedding window is REALLY easy. And they give you ideas! on what to do for that page. Agree that they are on the steep side, but for a year and online rsvp, i think the interface is really great.

below is a compilation of what i have researched.

<table border=1><tr><td>Website</TD><TD>Price</TD><TD>Term</TD><TD>Comments </TD></TR><TR><TD>Wedquaters</TD><TD>US$25</TD><TD>1 year</TD><TD>A lot of design thems at afforable pricing.

[eighty]

So nice! I'm so tempted to do one for myself too

 

[eighty]

Like to ask this... among the free websites available:

www.mywedding.com
www.theknot.com
www.weddingchannel.com
www.tgwedding.com

Which is the best? Like nicest layout, easy to navigate and more features? I've looked around but some don't show the real brides' webpages... I can't tell much from the samples. Thanks a lot!!!

 

[lesykl]

Hi,

Would like to share our website..
http://lessal.weddingannouncer.com

 

[nicdar]

Hi all,

I'm new to forum and have a few question to ask.

what are the benefit of having a wedding website.

will there be any pros and cons...

Thank you...

 

[bethany]

Hi FatFatBTB (eighty),

I am using mywedding.com, it is nice and user friendly but problem is not much customization you can do with it.. like you have limited sections only and they only have 4 blank pages for you to customize whatever you want.. but no change of font size and color, and no change on photo size also..
you can view my webpage
http://www.mywedding.com/winsonandfelicia

now i just explored a bit about weddingannouncer after seeing Lester's post.. it provide much more features and i think it is a quite good one as long as you do not find it too complicated.. i rather choose this if I knew it before...

Hi Nicole,

it is not really about pros and cons, the only cons maybe is you got to spend time on it.. but i found it rather fun and it is a good memory that you can keep, also it can be a good reference for other couples if you have related information there... so try it, you will like it.. haha..

 

[bethany]

okay I tried to put all my stuff over to wedding announcer, here it is http://winsonandfelicia.weddingannouncer.com/

you can compare the difference with mywedding.com now, it is easier for customization, you can add many pages as you want, and there's even audio/video page, quiz/poll, quite fun.. but of course i have not uploaded those parts yet..

 

[milky_kio]

i m also using mywedding.com.. This website is great as it allows you to input your love story, calendar, photos and many more..

Additionally, it has great technical support. I once sent an email to check with the administrator and they replied me in less than 24 hours!

 

[pinjie8275]

Hihi,

I am also using mywedding.com - http://www.mywedding.com/bryanserene121208/

Really very user friendly.... But I wonder is there any expiry term for free trial....

 

[pinjie8275]

wooo... I have just explored wedding announcer.. Indeed u can add or customise more things... Quite interesting... But I dun think this will be suitable for busy brides or grooms...

kekeke.... just registered with wedding announcer a minute ago but I don't think I will be able to update constantly...

Hence my vote goes to mywedding.com...

 

[benbenfish]

Hi,

anyone using weddingannouncer? i have a problem here wor..

i have the countdown date ticker from families.com but i try to paste all the three codes to website and none of them able to show out ticker.

pls guide me how to do tt...thanks so much...

 

[bethany]

Hihi Fish,

I am using weddingannouncer but i used their default counter. Not sure is it because you prefer something more customized like a clock or something.

For me I just go to WEBSITE SETTINGS tab after i log on, Then under Counters, i just tick the checkbox "Display on Homepage" for wedding date countdown, then I have it automatically.

I believe they do not allow us to do much customization and that could be why your copy&amp;paste code does not work...

 

[benbenfish]

Hi Hi Felicia,

Haha...i know u... u are winson's wife wor!!! juz happened to scroll up and see ur wedding website, then see the guy so familar....wahaha...

 

[bethany]

haha what a small world.. yes Fish I had started with that website 1 month before our wedding, and I must say there's a lot of things you can do with weddingannouncer.. and up to now I am still updating some parts of it.. haha..

have fun with your website =)

Hi

I have 2 wedding website to share as well.

http://weddingsongs4u.mulitply.com - is for brides to have for references, downloads for the need of weddings.

http://jdwedding.weddingannouncer.com - is my official wedding website

 

[verena]

hi, i'm new to this thread. just signed up with weddingannouncer. very comprehensive content. but my only gripe is that the design layout is very limited. only can choose from those few designs.

 

[supergal]

i used both weddingannouncer and multiply for my wedding website..personally, i prefer multiply..allows you to put tickers and many other more functions

 

[vallous]

hi all

I have included multiply into our weddingannouncer website.

Hi all, I have my own wedding website. I paid for the domain name and also the hosting. I think it's because I want to have greater say in how my website looks like and I can add more photos without worrying about bandwidth. In addition, when I emailed my colleagues to invite them to my wedding, I can set the email accounts for different groups of people, so that I know who has responded easily.

For those using free websites, I guess if you only intend to let your website last for a while, it's ok. I used to have a lot of free websites, with lots of writing, blogging and pictures, and after some time of inactivity, they disappeared! I spent so much effort on them. Some of the websites simply closed down or I couldn't log in at all.

So, depending on what you want, you can choose your own paid website or free website.

Let me know if you would like to see my website.

 

[geniecatcher]

glass > YES plse!! can share with me your wedding website? Thanks

 

[glass]

hi gene, i've sort of let the website run on its own. My own posts are much earlier.

Sharing ours @ www.theknot.com/ourwedding/ZeePingLiow&amp;EileenCher
I really like the themes and the RSVP function which alerts me everytime a guest RSVPs if they cant find a match
