Targeting summer + fall 2023. The idea is to be operational by March /April 2023.
Weddings are big expenses. Some couples spend hundreds on custom napkins and bathroom décor for the venue. But they will skimp on a website to get an average one through The Knot for free. The same website everyone else has, with a domain that is tied to The Knot. And probably hastily put together by one of the groomsmen or maid of honor's friends.
I am going to sell them on creating a lasting memory. A website they can look back on a decade down the road and see all of the pictures of their wedding. Not just a one pager that has wedding planning info and a link to their registry. A website that is custom to them at the moment, and will serve as a souvenir of sorts after the wedding is over.
1.5 million people get married every year in the United States alone. So feel free to join me on this journey, there's plenty of space for everyone.
Here's what I am going to offer:
- Up to 5 premade templates with various designs that can be 100% customized
- Or a fully custom design from the ground up
- 5 years domain + hosting
- Custom domain name (probably like: larryandbrittany2023.com)
- Post wedding gallery, memories, etc.
Target price: $2k to $3k for premade template + customization. ~$4k to 6k for fully custom website. I am really targeting the premade templates that I create and they can customize, as opposed to building from scratch for each.
Who: Couples primarily in the northeast, New England, etc.
Branding: Local, boutique New England business offering consultations with couples to make a lasting website that everyone can go to to download pictures, get memories, possibly the registry, etc - very classy feel
Next steps:
- Start creating first template
- Figure out if I want to tie this into an existing business, a wedding photographer, etc and offer package deals
- Figure out domain
- Start thinking about how I will market this
- Think about things like including a registry and other benefits to make this a one-stop-shop
Ultimately the idea is to be the local brand that works 1 on 1 to take care of a couple's digital needs as opposed to going through a big website. Is the price justified? Is the idea even viable? We'll find out. I'd like to do some validation testing before an official launch but that will be hard, going to work on this slowly into 2023 and refine further.
