Webfooted Designs and coderscollective.pz have teamed up to develop a SimpleContent website for making wedding planning easier. Using the site, couples can publish a list of things they need for the wedding, such as catering and car hire. The couples' guests can then make pledges to pay for some or all of certain things from the list.
Pay4OurBigDay (http://www.pay4ourbigday.com/) was conceived because the clients realised that many couples already have the things they want by the time they get married. There is also a trend towards people buying great experiences or days out instead of material presents, so they decided to bring the two changes together.
Since wedding costs are increasing all the time it was decided that Pay4OurBigDay would be free to use, relying on advertising to generate income. This keeps the couples' overheads down and saves their money for the really important stuff.
The Pay4OurBigDay website uses SimpleContent to manage its informational content, and some custom ASP.NET development to manage the couples' list and guests' pledges.
