Revamped Guide for Nashville Weddings: 4 Things that I Love that You Should Check Out!!

Monday, February 8, 2010

Creating a great website is far from easy.  But, I wanted to create a new site for all you loyal ABG site readers; give you some fresh eye-candy.  You visit my site daily (thank you) and I want to make sure it is always helpful, inspiring and easy to use.

Last Fall, I reviewed your favorite site pages and made it my mission to create a new, upgraded version of ABG.  Today, I'm pleased to share it with you and I really hope you like it.

Here's what you're sure to love about my new site:

1) Improved layout that makes everything easier to find!

  • Search - The search box is at the very top of the page, making it easy to type in your keywords and find what you need.  The search box at top will search entire site - gallery, real weddings, vendor directory, blog, etc.  There is also a search option in the vendor directory that allows you to search wedding vendors only.
  • Images - I've also added a larger space to showcase Nashville's amazing wedding photography.  I love large wedding pics (and I am sure you do too.) 
  • Real Weddings, DIY, Luxury Bridal - I've placed quick links in the top navigation bar to take you directly to these favorite pages.  Yes, I know those are your favorite destinations on my site.  Now, you can find them in one quick.
  • Events and Savings - These pages are now sortable by category.  So, if you are looking for an exclusive offer from a wedding planner, you can do so in a matter of seconds by sorting by planners.  Easy!
  • Nashville bridal events are right on the homepage so you know what's going on immediately.  Plus, I've added vendor events - come on vendors, send me your business workshops, seminars info.

2) Lovely inspiration gallery  (New)

This is a completely new section on the site that i LOVE.  I have already spent way too many hours looking all of the great weddings that have taken place, bridal gowns, cakes, etc.  You could spend hours in this new section alone.  It will be updated each week with new stunning images so be sure to bookmark and check often.

3) Helpful directory of wedding blogs and links (New)

Blogs are hugely popular and a great way to learn more about a wedding vendor or connect with a real Nashville bride.  So, I've placed many blog links on this page so you can discover, bookmark, connect with other brides and wedding pros.  It also includes their most recent posts. So each day, you can start by checking this page for dozens of updates from local bloggers.

4) Super cute site badges just for you (New)

I love our new site badges.  I worked with my designers to create every conceivable badge that I thought you'd want for your site, blog, or facebook page.  Go on and find your fave. Once you've added it to your site, let me know and I will add you to the links page.  

Like the new website? I hope you do because it was created with you in mind.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

I look forward to reading your thoughts!

Ashley!  Long time, no speak.  I adore your new website.  So pretty.  So user-friendly.  And oh the badges!  I added one to my blog today.  Just couldn’t resist.  I’d love you to add me to your bridal blog section!  I can’t wait until I can send you photos from our wedding in May!  You should check out my blog and see what we’ve been up to.  It’s come a long way since Blog Camp!
