image guide

There is nothing more that can make or break an invite like the images you use.

Using images that are of a high quality standard are encouraged.

When we use images as banner images, the image fills the entire space of the websites content. This means that we have to crop or change a portrait photo so that the focus point of the image is in the middle. In most cases, it is very difficult to get portrait images to display correctly on a responsive website.In the image above, a portrait image is used as a banner image.

A Portrait image will not work for a banner image in the following cases:

  • The focus point of the image, stretches across the entire image. There is no space to crop the image so that it can fit into the banner image location cell.
  • The image is zoomed to far in to use as a banner image.
  • The image quality is below 200kb (KilloBytes). (0.2 Megabytes)

Landscape images – IMPORTANT

  • Images which have focus points that are in the middle.
  • The images must not be zoomed in too much.

Good Banners vs Bad Banners

On the images below, anything in the green and orange zone will show. But your subject matter must be in green for it to be seen on all devices. Orange zone does not show on mobile.

Whatsapp images can be used for banner images when the quality of the images are above 1MB (Megabyte), they can be used for gallery images when they are above 300KB (Kilobytes) (0.3 kilobytes)

We prefer to work with portrait and landscape images in the following cases:

  • Portrait: Gallery images, no main images.
  • Landscape: Gallery or main image banners.

Using images provided by a professional photographer is very much encouraged. The images are normally between 5 and 15 MB (Megabytes).

This depends on the contract between yourself and your photographer. Some photographers require you requst for permission before you can use the photos.

We do not take any responsibility for copyright infringements regarding your images. All the content used for the website is provided by yourself.

Writing good content is very important. The wording of your sections has to be exactly what you need your guests to know.

Almost the most important item on your invite. This tells the guests where to go to for your wedding.

Why ask a deposit?

While we understand that in today’s time it is hard to trust any company on the internet, for the protection of both yourself and us, we do require a 50% deposit.

The 50% deposit serves as a “Booking Fee” to ensure that we can place your website in the development queue. It also gives you piece of mind knowing that if we don’t do our work properly, you don’t have to pay the remainder.
