Website: WeddingWindow.com
Amy Ruocco is the Founder and CEO of WeddingWindow.com, an award-winning wedding website company. The concept for Wedding Window was developed while Amy was in the midst of planning her own wedding. The process of managing and distributing the details regarding her wedding to her guests caused her to ask herself if there was a better way to communicate this information. Being a web designer, she decided to create her own wedding website in order to allow her guests to download directions to the wedding and reception, link to accommodation ideas, learn more about her and her fiancé and view photos of the actual proposal.
After receiving a great deal of positive feedback regarding the website from her wedding guests, Amy decided to turn her idea into a business. In 2001, she launched the original version of WeddingWindow.com. Since then, the company has grown rapidly and maintains a steady pace of change in order to stay on top of the industry. Wedding Window strives to be continually creative and innovative. “We currently have the largest number of wedding website features available and maintain a goal of making our website designs as customizable as possible in order to allow each couple to feel that their wedding website was designed just for them.”
Wedding Window currently offers 25 designs, an unlimited number of schemes and countless options for customization, including the ability to create custom color schemes, upload custom design photos and customize design fonts. The features list is extensive and includes many options that are exclusive to Wedding Window, such as their numerous options for customization, the ability to send out customizable “Save the Date” eCards that coordinate with the existing wedding website designs, the ability to access a Site Wizard for step-by-step website building assistance and much more. Wedding Window will always strive to provide as many designs and features as possible for their customers in order to allow them the best experience possible during one of the most important times of their lives.
