So how does it work, exactly?

  • PURCHASE A TEMPLATE

    Browse my collection of amazing website templates, and fall in love with a design. Make sure to read the product descriptions and FAQs thoroughly before adding your chosen template to your cart and following the checkout process. You will immediately receive an email confirming your order.

  • SUPPLY YOUR DETAILS & ASSETS

    I will be in touch via email within 2 business days to arrange the next steps. I will send through a private link where you can provide your wedding details and wording for your website, upload any photographs or other assets you wish to use, and let me know your customisation preferences. I provide a form for all of this so it’s very straightforward.

  • CUSTOMISATION & SET UP

    I will install your chosen template onto a trial website, customise it to your preferences, input all of your wedding details, and sort out all the back-end technical stuff. I’ll also create your matching digital invitation. I will then present both to you for feedback. 2 rounds of changes are included in the pricing to perfect everything.

  • LAUNCH & INVITE

    Once you have approved your website, I will contact you so we can subscribe you to your chosen hosting plan and make your site live! I will then transfer your site over to you so you can log in and make updates if you need to. Then, all you need to do is send out your digital invitation to your guests so they can all marvel at your beautiful website!

BUT why should we pay $$ for your WEBSITES when there are so many free options available? LET ME EXPLAIN:

  • MY AMAZINGLY AESTHETIC DESIGNS

    Wedding websites have a bit of a reputation for being ugly and poorly designed, and they’re often generic and uninspiring. I’m flipping that narrative. My templates are designer-crafted and expertly built with custom CSS and JavaScript to create stylish and unexpected features. They are intentionally designed to not look like templates and they are not typically feminine and wedding-y. I think you will agree, you’ve not seen anything like them!

  • EVERYTHING IS DONE FOR YOU

    I know you’re busy and have more important things to do than trying to learn how to use a DIY website builder or a whole new platform or fumble around with code. I don’t just sell you a template and leave you to figure it out on your own, I do it all for you! Customisation, setup, and all the back-end tech stuff is included. So tick it off your to do list and head out on that date night because I have you covered. You can learn more about how it all works here.

  • WHEN I SAY HIGHLY-CUSTOMISABLE, I MEAN IT

    You don’t want to look like everyone else, so it can be really frustrating when customisation is limited or too difficult. Flexible by design, my templates are highly customisable and can be easily tailored to match the overall aesthetic of your big day. I can change the colour palette to suit your palette, swap out fonts to better suit your personalities, update the content with your wedding details, showcase your loved-up photos, and remove any sections you don’t wish to include.

  • RELIABLE SUPPORT FROM AN EXPERT

    A stress-free customer experience is always my top priority. Throughout the whole process, you’ll receive the same level of individual attention my custom couples do and it doesn’t stop when your site launches. I’m here for 3 months post-launch to sort out any little technical issues or minor updates that you don’t want to handle yourself. Oh, and did I mention I do it all for you?!

  • CAREFULLY CURATED CHOICES

    I’m not going to boast thousands of designs for you to scroll through, that’s just time-consuming and overwhelming. Less is more, so my template collection is carefully curated with well-thought-out designs in a range of trendy styles making it easy to fall in love with one. To make things even simpler, I don’t incorporate extra wedding planning features you don’t need or make your guests download yet another app.

  • NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO HIDDEN COSTS

    I don’t do gimmicks, there are no pricing tiers and I won’t charge you add-on costs to upgrade to basic features. My template prices are an on-time-cost and are all-inclusive of customisation, hosting and personalised domain names. I’ll also never distract your beautiful wedding website or your valued guests with pop-up ads to sell you things you don’t need, subscribe you or your guests to promotional emails you never asked for or share your details with any third parties.

  • Anything cosmetic may be customised - change the colour palette to suit your wedding aesthetic, swap out the fonts to better suit your personalities, update the content with your wedding details and wording and of course showcase your loved-up photos. You may also rearrange sections, remove any sections you are not keen on including or keep them as they are and repurpose them to show something different. Any changes to the overall layout or included illustrations or icons are not included.

    Fonts: We confine our choices to those available through Squarespace for licensing reasons. Custom fonts can be installed if the correct license is purchased. The cost of purchasing licences is your responsibility.

    Photographs: Please consider the quality of your available images when choosing a template. Professionally taken, high-resolution images are best.

  • It’s super easy! All you need to do is provide me with your wedding details and wording, any photographs or other assets you wish to use, and let me know your customisation preferences (I send you a form to fill out to make this seamless). Then sit back and relax or go on a date night as I take care of the rest for you. You can learn more about how it all works here.

  • My turnaround is approximately 2 weeks from when I receive your content and assets and is of course dependent on the timeliness of your feedback and replies. Turnaround times may be longer during peak periods, but I will always communicate this with you.

  • All my templates are built using Squarespace and are compatible with Squarespace only. Each template is pre-installed on a trial website which is made live upon completion. I do not install my templates on existing Squarespace 7.1 sites.

  • Squarespace is an all-in-one platform and includes hosting. 12 months of hosting fees are included in the template pricing. My templates require a business plan due to the advanced custom code and design features I include.

  • Yes, I can transfer an existing domain to Squarespace though an additional fee may apply. Alternatively, we can leave it with its original provider and I can connect it via domain mapping. Ownership of your domain remains with you, though I will need access to your account to set everything up.

  • Yes, once I have completed your website and you have signed off on it, it is handed over to you and you are welcome to log in and make updates to your wedding details as you wish. Please note that while I do offer ongoing support after your site goes live, if you decide to tinker with the custom code and ‘break’ your site or cause any major issues, there will be a cost involved in fixing it for you, so touch the Custom CSS Panel at your own risk!

  • Not at all! No coding knowledge is required because I do all of that for you. I also offer ongoing support for 3 months after your site goes live. Up to 1 hour is included in the cost of your template, but further support is available for a fee should you run into any technical issues or have minor updates you don’t want to do yourself.

  • Yes, you will need to create a Squarespace account so I can transfer ownership of your website over to you. This is easy and free and will enable you to log in and make updates yourself. When your hosting expires and your site is no longer live it will still be available in your account to revisit at anytime.

  • No, sorry, this would require you to purchase separate templates. I’ve built complete demo sites of all templates with real example wording included so you can really visualise and experience each one. Please reach out prior to purchase if you have any questions as I do not offer refunds.

  • You’re in luck! I offer ongoing support for 3 months after your site goes live! Up to 1 hour is included in the cost of your template, but further support is available for a fee should you run into any technical issues or have minor updates you don’t want to do yourself.

  • I have written a resource specifically for this! You may read it here.

  • RSVP forms are completely customisable so ask as many questions as you need to, i.e. dietary requirements, and meal preferences. transport opt-in, song requests, attendance at other wedding events, etc. I can add conditional logic so different questions appear based on your guests’ responses and make fields required to ensure you get the details you need. I can also schedule forms to close on a certain date which is excellent for letting those who haven’t RSVP’d despite you chasing them know they have missed the boat!

    I connect the RSVP form to your Google account so once guests click submit, responses are automatically input into a Google Sheet, which you can view live. A summary of guests’ responses can be emailed to them and also to you so you are notified when someone RSVPs.

    Unlike other platforms, Squarespace doesn’t have the back-end database to store guest details and pull information from, but really there isn’t anything you can’t group, filter or organise in a spreadsheet.

  • No, your guests don’t need to sign up to or subscribe to anything or download any apps in order to RSVP. They simply visit your website as they would any other and fill out the form.

  • No, sorry, this isn’t possible within our templates, it would require a custom website solution. Please enquire if this is a requirement for you.

  • No, your wedding website is entirely private and secure. I password-protect your site so your wedding details are accessible only to your guests or those who you share the password with. I also hide your website from search engines meaning it won’t be indexed and searchable.

  • It depends on how far in advance you need information available to guests. If you are hosting a destination wedding, this may be closer to 12 months so you can provide guests with flight, travel, and accommodation details well in advance. If you’re having a simpler, local celebration, then six months may suffice.

  • Every template purchase comes with a FREE coordinating digital invitation which I supply as a .jpg file so you can text or email it to your guests. This will provide the basic details of your wedding as per a traditional paper invitation and supply guests with the URL to your website as well as the password they will need to access it.

  • No, not at the moment… At this stage I am just selling the website templates with a free digital invitation included. I wanted to roll out the website templates first and gauge the response before deciding if I want to expand it into a full semi-custom collection including matching paper stationery and signage. I am happy to explore this on a case-by-case basis though, so please enquire in the meantime.

  • Due to the digital nature of my templates, I do not offer refunds or exchanges. If you have any questions regarding the templates, don't hesitate to contact me before committing to a purchase.

  • It’s the age-old adage, you get what you pay for! My designs, my process, and the end result are something you won’t find anywhere else. If you need more convincing, see here.
