HOW TO DESIGN A WEDDING WEB SITE
If you are thinking of designing a wedding web site, you want to put some serious thought into the design of your site before actually building it. The reason you need a plan is so that you know where you are going and how to get there, the plan is a roadmap of sort for the success of your wedding web site.
Idea #1 - Plan
You need an idea of what you are going to do and know you can change it as you go along. Will this be a typical wedding site, one designed for outdoor weddings only, different faith marriages, will you include rings, dresses, invitations, and other information? Will you be writing a journal about your upcoming wedding? The more detailed and in depth your plan, the better. You can get advice from a friend or someone who has built their website already or there are people who will build and maintain your site for you for a fee.
Idea #2 - Evaluate
Go on the internet and look at some other wedding websites. Make a checklist to go over while you are viewing each website that includes things like organization, colors, topics and themes, not to mention ease of navigation, URL formatting, speed, links, and other interesting information. By actually seeing what works and what doesn't work on other wedding websites, you will be able to avoid a lot of mistakes and mishaps of your own. Surfing the web is fast and easy and the perfect way to get some great design ideas as well as design inspiration. This part of your research will prove very successful for you.
Idea #3 - Focus
Your wedding website should have a clear focus starting with the very first page. Of course, you can focus on any specific part of a wedding, every aspect, a mixture of aspects, or anything you want. Make sure your focus is clearly stated on the first page so visitors know what is available on your site, where to go, and what to expect. You don't want to make visitors have to guess or try and figure out what your site is about. Make it easy for your visitors and tell them. When people know what to expect, they are more likely to stay on your site instead of clicking away.
By sort of making a plan or at least making some notes on your website it will make it a lot easier to buil
