Riley & Grey vs Wix Wedding Websites Comparison

Riley & Grey emphasizes style and swiftness when it comes to wedding website building. The service only asks for an email address, and instantly generates an account for you, which already has a pre-made template. Experimenting with your options serves as a tutorial, and it’s up to you how deeply you want to redesign the website. Said redesigning can be done through 41 different styles, with “Signature” being the most prominent, as it has a unique scrolling effect. The editing tool offers many features to make your site shine, like the numerous subtopics (location, registry, ceremony etc.), photo/video gallery and guest management function. The latter not only keeps track of the received RSVPs; you are being notified as it happens. The result is portable to smartphones, as your guests can view the site on smaller screens, though sadly you cannot use your phone to edit the contents of your site while out in town.

Wix is a unique sight among wedding site builders, as it’s more of a general website builder tool, which can be used to create a wedding site as well. Wix is a treasure trove of opportunities, and the overall deepness of your site solely depends on you. Some couples may be satisfied if they can just swap their names and photos on an existing template, while others wish to create something unique from thin air. Editing is based on freely grabbing and repositioning different parts of your website, thus no actual web design background is required to handle the tool. Wix also boasts a huge marketplace full of official and user created designs that further extend the customization possibilities. You are able to integrate a Facebook comment section, add videos, create a constantly updated photo stream and so on. There are 114 designs to choose from, although not each and every one of them is wedding related. Wix is highly dedicated to the smartphone crowd, as you can share your wedding website via a downloadable app, or continue editing from your mobile device.
