re: Wedding Websites. Would you recommend your web designer?

I constantly get emails from BridalTweet's vendors asking for recommendations on who they should use for their website design. If you have had an awesome experience with a web designer, please mention their contact info below. This will really help the other members of our community. If you have not had an awesome experience, please do not mention your web designer below because we want to reserve this discussion for the absolute crem della crem:) Thanks in advance for your help. - Christine Dyer

I'm a graphic design and have worked with Jeff from http://www.zartwurks.com for years. He's super easy going, listens, and designs well!

I am a makeup artist vendor who has a studio and a cosmetic line. I have been using photobiz for the last 2 years. Previously I used bludomain.

However, as my business grew, my frustration also grew of not being able to be found on search engines (which is why I left Bludomain all together) I stumbled upon Heidi Yarger who owns http://www.spitfiregirldesign.com/.

In this last year she has completely reworked my brand, logo, and we are now knee deep in our website design and functionality. Every time I get a new email from her with updates of the site progression I get excited! I can't wait to launch our new site in the next several weeks. She has streamlined my entire site to be more user friendly yet sexy chic.

Heidi doesn't come cheap. She is not for someone who isn't serious about their business. She is for serious folk who are serious about their brands. I know that once the site goes live, it will pay for itself in a matter of months. However, I will say if you are serious don't try to save money. I have wasted more money on fly by night graphic designers and website designers who took my money and ran or just didn't deliver what my brand was all about. I tossed and turned for months before I finally pulled the trigger and hiring her but at the end of the day she has been worth every single penny! She is taking me from a local vendor to a national brand. If I end up where I want to be, I will owe it all to her. But I have no doubt I will.

Good luck!

My website, (I'm a photographer) is www.ChristyWhiteheadPhotography.com I had it designed by a lady named Regina I found on Etsy.com Ginaty05@yahoo.com

She had extremely reasonable rates and was very helpful. I showed her some websites I liked and told her how I wanted mine done. She went far beyond what I would have expected her to do. I asked about getting my blog to look like my website and she paid wordpress the fee for custom blogs and didn't charge me for it. (I of course, sent her money and a tip for all her hard work.)

Please note that she is in college so sometimes it may take her a couple of days to get back to you, but she's worth it!

Let her know I referred you. I don't get anything out of it or anything.

If you look for her on Etsy, I think she is under Lively Up Designs

Heidi @ Spitfire Girl did my website. www.aliciakdesigns.com and I can't put into words how happy I am with the results. She did an amazing job and I get compliments all the time and I know the site has helped generate more business. I highly recommend her services, she and her team were amazing.

The reason I use Photobiz.com I read a testimonial on how the poster's business increased 40% after going with them. I can honestly say that my business increased 50%. I can't wait to see what 2010 is going to look like. I am already book through July 2010.

My web designer is great! She did my wedding squeeze page. Her pricing is reasonable and she really knows her stuff when it comes to creating internet-friendly websites that will capture traffic to your site.

Check out http://www.ecombuffet.com and ask for Jennifer.

So you can see an example of her work, here is my wedding page. http://www.awynningevent.com/wedding-of-your-dreams.html

I use www.siawebdesigns.com. 585-943-7979 or info@siawebdesigns.com. Local company who is looking to branch out. When ever I need something changed or added it's completed in less than 48 hours. Very reliable and reasonably priced.
