- "Bringing wedding vendors together with bridal guests" thats too dark on the heading image

- I really don't like the stock background image on this page - http://is.gd/7bID

- Is the business type page a joke? There at least needs to be an "other" option

- The tour should be a video, rather than a manual slide show

- Your privacy policy doesn't exists, that removes all credibility of your site.

- can you make the fonts of your menus a bit larger by default?

- I'd put your "contact us" option at the top, ideally top right.

- can you make your title tag show me where I am? thats nice usability.

- alt tags on links

I like this site, its nice and clear, with obviously quite a lot of 37 signals ala design. Not a bad thing.

The pages feel a little too noisy, try removing the stock image background. Also be wary of lighter than black colours on darker than white backgrounds.

I love the "Access New Revenue Today" - lovely and clear and really grabs me.


- "Bringing wedding vendors together with bridal guests" I didn't want it to distract attention... did I go too far?

- I really don't like the stock background image on this page - What if I made it more white and blended so that it was in the background more?

- Is the business type page a joke? There at least needs to be an "other" option -- I have done a lot of research in the market and I can't think of any other business types that would benefit from this product... but maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge

- Your privacy policy doesn't exists, that removes all credibility of your site. -- Going to add that promptly, thanks

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it!


(on point #3) you may be right, I just it was just a bit weird not to offer an "other" just in case ... sods law if you don't there'll be a ton of mystery companies :)


tell us about it

where'd you get the idea, why?

how do you hope to make money?


I just got married and my wife and I thought one day: "wouldn't it be awesome if we could register for products from our own vendors?". That way our guests at our wedding could buy us extra flowers or a photograph book instead of just a blender.

This got us thinking, and now we have decided to go into business together starting a site that lets people do just that.

Vendors will pay a flat fee per couple or an unlimited quarterly use fee in order to sign up their bridal couples and allow them to do online registry.
