Nearlywed

Launched September, 2023.

Nearlywed, formerly known as Grand Rapids Bridal, partnered with Crown Marketing to rebrand and launch a new website that exceeded their expectations. The client came to us after a frustrating experience with another development team that delayed the project, went over budget, and failed to deliver key features. Within just 10 weeks, Crown Marketing designed, developed, and launched a fully functional and visually stunning site that aligned perfectly with Nearlywed’s vision.

Key Features and Highlights:

  • Rebranding and Redesign: Transitioned the brand from Grand Rapids Bridal to Nearlywed, creating a fresh, modern look that resonates with couples planning their weddings.
  • Graphic Design: Delivered elegant and romantic visuals that capture the essence of the wedding industry, enhancing the user experience.
  • Custom Coded Real Weddings Section: Programmed a feature allowing real couples to submit their wedding stories, photos, and details, which are then showcased on the website to inspire other users (View Real Weddings).
  • Vendor Directory Development: Built a sophisticated vendor directory with advanced search and filter capabilities, enabling users to easily find vendors by type, location, and other criteria (Explore Vendor Directory).
  • E-Commerce Integration: Implemented features for vendor subscription payments and premium listing management, supporting the client’s business model.
  • PHP Programming: Leveraged advanced coding to ensure seamless functionality across all custom features.
  • Responsive Design: Ensured optimal performance across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, catering to a diverse audience.

Outcome:
Nearlywed.com has become a trusted platform for wedding planning in Michigan, offering couples an engaging and efficient resource to plan their special day. The custom-coded Real Weddings section and Vendor Directory are standout features that set the site apart, providing immense value to both users and vendors. Nearlywed.com is a shining example of Crown Marketing’s ability to deliver complex projects on time, within budget, and with exceptional results.
