Opinions and Feedback - My new mobile wedding and event invitation business

bonn · 12th Feb 2013, 02:32 PM

Hi Everyone,

I launched my new business yesterday and would like some feedback on the website etc.

Basically, we build mobile invitations, RSVPs, Saved the Dates etc for wedding and event planners. Pricing ranges between 50-500 dollars depending on the complexity.

Shoot me some feedback on the website and what you think of the service and its potential. Just hired a couple sales guys, looking forward to explosive growth... but i can always depend on my buddies at warrior forum to give some great feedback. BTW i can always accept POSITIVE FEEDBACK TOO! hahah

Looking forward to your responses, comments, quarrels, AND calumnies! haha.

We have a planner registration form to get planners involved to resell to their To Be Wed clients and a "Build It Yourself" form at the top to get people started sharing the details of their event to better assist us in building their sites. Faster turn around time etc.

here is our site: http://missiongomobile.com

Hi Bonn, that is really nice. Nice clean site. Is that WordPress? If so what theme is it?
I especially like the fact that you have split the idea into several areas (save the date, invitation and thank you etc... You could charge your clients separate for each one depending on what they want.
So how much are you going to charge for one of these?

Good work man, keep it up.

Thank you very much GaryP!

Yes basically the prices range from 100-500 dollars depending on the level of customization they want.

For example, if they choose one of the preset themes/styles, dont require there to be any type of data gathering form and are not interested in the click2engage features like click to call etc then the price is closer to the 100 dollar range.

If they choose to take advantage of the other features, then its increases per feature.

I'm also thinking about limiting the number of views.... still working that one out.

Working on getting a $25 dollar version that is totally automated to get people in the door with just a basic design, text and one image. Then get sales people in contact with the customer to up-sell features etc.

Right now basic sites are $50 dollars. Comes with short URL, QR code and 50 free text messages (to text the invites out to invitees).

Ok my honest opinion.

This was my idea and you steal it! No just kidding but yes I had that idea at the vry begining and you could find my posts here. I did not go so far with the project because of time and more urgent other project to launch. What a great idea and I'm happy that you've done and wish you all the best.

For the website, I don't really like it, the blue and green color code of your theme does not suit wedding theme, it is more for tech, corporate, trust. I will prefer pink, white or light pastels colors.

Also having to scroll down and down again is really not convivial, it's not a long salespage but a website.

You have to add more wedding pictures.

Visitors must see a demo of your mobile site on a simulator or as a picture because we have no idea how it really looks.

Hope you don't mind for these negative remarks on your webdesign but I want to share my honest opinion that can hurt you but also can make your website better.
As I said the idea is 100% good.

Bonn, this is a really nice concept, congratulations and good luck on your new business. I think you could make the white text on your site a bit more readable. Please keep us updated about how it goes.

Where do you get your QR codes from? Also, what do you use to blast out the SMS?

Actually 4webmaster is right, it would be nice to see a real demo of a site or sites on there. But I'm sure you're working on that : )

Very nice!! Getting partnered with planners will be great for this concept.
