StoriesI've told

Wedding websites made by hand, one at a time, from each couple's own world: their invitation, their colours, their people.

Six chapters · 2026 — 2027

The craft

“No templates. Each site is crafted in detail for one wedding only, and cared for like a printed invitation.”

José Ángel Velásquez

The menu

Everything a site can have

Tap each circle

I

To begin

Animated envelope welcome

The invitation opens on screen, with the same envelope as your stationery.

II

For the journey

Getting there

Flights, transfers, coach or ferry, depending on where each guest travels from.

III

For the two of you

RSVP by name

Each guest types their name, finds their invitation and replies for their whole party.

Each couple chooses only what their wedding needs.

Behind the envelope

A private dashboard, just for the couple

While guests open the envelope, you watch the replies come in: who said yes, who's pending, allergies and transport. Import your list from Excel, export it whenever you like and send the invitations by email from here.

How a chapter is written

From the first call to the wedding day

  1. I

    One call

    The conversation

    You tell me about your wedding and who's travelling.

  2. II

    With your designer

    The identity

    Monogram, illustrations and palette.

  3. III

    About three weeks

    The build

    I build the site and we refine it together.

  4. IV

    Until the big day

    The send-off

    Your guests get the invitation; you get the dashboard.

We talk through the details of your wedding on the call.

Who I work with

For the weddings in this portfolio I teamed up with other independents.

FAQ

What couples usually ask me

See all questions

What is a wedding website?

It's where everything about your wedding lives: the schedule, the dress code, how to get there, where to stay, the gift registry and the RSVP. Guests open it on their phone without downloading anything, and you see every reply in a private dashboard.

How long does it take to make our wedding website?

Once your wedding branding is ready, the site takes about three weeks. Before that, we agree on the copy, style, colours, typefaces and the details of your wedding: whether it's a destination wedding, whether there will be recommended hotels, transport, and everything your guests need to know.

How do guests RSVP?

They type their name, the site finds their invitation and they reply for each person in their party. Nobody sees the guest list except you, in your private dashboard, where you also see allergies, transport and notes.

Does it work for a destination wedding?

That's where it helps most: flights by country of origin, transfers, hotels with guest rates or discount codes, a guided map with every place and the couple's own recommendations. The stories in this portfolio include weddings in Madrid, Barcelona, Puerto Plata and Margarita Island.

How much does a wedding website cost?

Each site is quoted on what you need: sections, languages, RSVP, email invitations. Tell me about your wedding or book a call and I'll prepare a proposal.

Epilogue

Shall we write yours?

Tell me about your wedding. I reply personally, usually within a day or two.
