Webnode Reviews

One of Webnode’s main competitive advantages is that it’s extremely easy to build a multilingual wedding website. The platform creates a copy of your website with one click, and you just need to translate the copy to the language you want. It’s also easy to keep your website private – you don’t want strangers RSVPing to your wedding, after all. It only takes one mouse click to prevent your website from showing up on Google, and it’s just as easy to protect your wedding website with a password. This ensures that only the people to whom you sent the link (and password) can access your website, read your wonderful love story, and go through all the details of your special day. And don’t worry about not knowing if people have accepted your invitation – Webnode’s simple contact forms have you covered and will send you notifications.

Couples who want to document their engagement can do so by creating a blog page. Adding new entries is simple, and you can embellish your text with pictures and videos. Speaking of pictures, Webnode allows couples to create gallery pages where they can share their photos, and it’s also possible to include a guestbook by using the software’s testimonials page.

You can add further widgets to your website by using third-party plugins. It requires some extra steps – as Webnode doesn’t feature an app store like many of its competitors – but it’s the only way for you to add some cool details, such as a countdown, live chat, and more. You can also take advantage of Webnode’s ecommerce tools to create your own gift registry website. However, this will take a lot of time and work so your best option is to sign up to a gift registry provider and add the link to your website.

It really doesn’t matter if you have a business or a wedding website – they both need to be mobile optimized. Today, everyone uses their smartphones for surfing online, and you want to offer your guests the easiest way to access your wedding website. Thankfully, all templates Webnode offers are mobile-friendly. So you can design your website assured that it will look wonderful on any screen size.

The platform itself is mobile-friendly, too. Although Webnode doesn’t have a mobile app, you can log into your online account and keep designing your wedding website on the go. Surprisingly, the website builder is extremely responsive on mobile, and comes with the neat bonus of previewing how your website will look in a smaller format.

It takes less than an hour to have a simple wedding website online with Webnode. The templates provided come ready with the most important pages. You only have to change the copy, upload the images, add your email to the RSVP form, and you’re done. But you will probably want to play around a little bit before putting it online.

Due to its user-friendly drag-and-drop builder, Webnode is easy to work with. You make edits right in the frontend, meaning that you always see what your wedding website will look like. The platform is also intuitive – you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to find and understand all the settings available. Still, if you do need some help, Webnode provides introductory videos explaining how to navigate the software.

Since Webnode is a generic website builder, it’s not surprising that it only offers seven designs for wedding websites. However, as with books and friends, you don’t need many wedding website templates, you just need them to be of good quality. And that’s what you’ll get with Webnode. All seven designs are varied, modern, and eye-catching. It’s also possible to create your website from scratch, but Webnode doesn’t let you start with a blank canvas – you’ll always have to select a template, delete everything, and start from there.

Webnode comes with some design customization, but it’s a bit limited. For example, you can’t change the font for each block, only for the full website, and the font color palette only includes 50 colors. Even so, you can adjust the website’s layout, clickable buttons, and forms. An important aspect to keep in mind is that everything can be readjusted easily with just a few clicks.

Webnode allows couples to create their wedding websites at zero cost. Of course, the free plan comes with restrictions. Some aren’t very relevant for a wedding website, such as having ‘webnode.com’ at the end of the URL or a sticky banner ad at the bottom of the screen. Others are a bit more limiting – you won’t be running a password-protected and multilanguage wedding website without paying.

Webnode’s pricing structure is divided into four plans: Limited, Mini, Standard, and Profi. The first two don’t offer much, considering you’re building a wedding website. You only get the ability to restrict access to your website from the Standard plan and up. The price for this is $12.90 per month and supports up to 100 registered guests. Additionally, you can add a second language to your website and create an online store. Meanwhile, the Profi subscription supports an unlimited number of guest registrants and languages. While this top plan costs $22.90 per month, it can be worth the investment for couples hosting a big wedding with guests from all around the world.

All aforementioned prices come as a yearly subscription. However, you can opt for a 2-, 5-, or 10-year billing cycle to get a discount of up to 50%. Plus, if you find out that the extra features aren’t worth the price, you can ask for a full refund within the first 15 days by taking advantage of the company’s money-back guarantee.

Webnode is a beginner-friendly website builder that allows you to that within minutes for free. Although the software doesn’t offer many wedding website templates, the few available are modern, good-looking, and mobile-friendly. Plus, you can easily customize your website through the drag-and-drop builder and use third-party plugins without paying a cent. Webnode handles multilanguage websites much better than some of its competitors. However, bear in mind that you’ll need at least a Standard account to have access to this feature, which costs $12.90 per month with an annual billing cycle. And no matter what you pay, Webnode doesn’t come with built-in guest management or gift registry – two helpful features for your wedding planning. Even so, you can try out all premium features for free by taking advantage of the 15-day money-back guarantee.
