Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

My site is almost done...so if anyone has the time/inclination, I would love some feedback. Honest opinions very much welcome - brutally honest is ok too :D

Note: There are some incorrectly routed links to the main page but that can only be fixed when Im completely done so please ignore.

I still have a few things to add and cleanup but since Im really hoping to get it all done this weekend (finally!), I figured I would solicit some of your advice now.

For those that participated in my last feedback session, I never found a format I liked better so its pretty much the same.

Your website looks beautiful!!! All of your pic's were gorgeous~
I am not a good critic of these things, but think that it looks wonderful overall!!!

One minor suggestion/question-

Why don't you have it going in order?

i.e. engagment, getting ready, etc., etc., Honeymoon.

Just a thought.

Very nice though (I just love that rose petal pic) .

Stef your website is beautiful. I wish I had the talent that you do to do all that stuff.

Thanks!

Tara: That was suggested by some of the newlyweds so Im going to change it. I originally had the ceremony and reception first since that is what most people care out but Im going to change it to make it more chronological. But IM keeping the engagement piece at the end because its just a rehash of my old site which is the least important thing.

Stef - did you do this site all yourself?

Sonicstef Posted: Jan 22, 2003 04:15 PM

Re: Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

Sage: Yes using Homestead.com which has a sitebuilder that is easier to use than coding from scratch and doesnt require any additional software.

I think the website is Amazing! I've never seen anything like it!!!

Re: Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

I think it is amazing! b/c I am getting married in Italy, FH and I are trying to do a website as well so that people can go to it to get travel info and itinerarys for the 3 days of events we have planned etc...
And ours has gotten off to a rough start....I am going to check out Homestead ASAP!
Any suggestions?

Stef

I htink its great - only comment is that you have to close each opened page to get to the prior one.
Would it be better to have a 'back' button?

Sonicstef Posted: Jan 22, 2003 04:26 PM

Re: Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

Sage: My suggestion is to come up with a layout before you start actually making the page. I didnt do that and it took 10x longer!

Where in Italy is your wedding?

You can FM me if you prefer.

Stef: You have FM

Re: Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

Wow!!!! It's great! You looked so beautiful. Everything was perfect.

Re: Newlywed Website almost done....feedback please.

Stef it's fabulous! 2 minor points: the fonts 'under' the pictures are a bit fuzzy, though it may be my browser. (For instance the H in Homeymoon looks a little like an M). Also, when I click on Credits and then go back, Credits becomes a purpleish color that is heard to read against the red background.

I am so in awe of you!
