AW: I designed my own site and stationery. Like it?

I always wanted to grow up to be a web designer.  I had 2 web design jobs, studied it a bit in college, and have done it as a hobby since I was 12.  (Yes, 12.)  So naturally I wanted to do my own wedding website!  I'm also doing my own invitations and RSVP card.  I've attached some pictures and a link.  Let me know if you like it!  If you want me to do anything for you, just let me know!  I have fun doing this kind of thing.

    Nice seeing your website.  I liked checking it out!  You get to see the personal side of everyone here.  Wow, that's awesome you could design it; it's nice having a computer science background.  :-)

    I like your stationery and your website!  A couple of things:

    1.  You DO look so young.  It's probably a bad thing now, but in 20 years you'll be thankful!!

    2.  We also went to Disney for our honeymoon.  We had a great time except that we got sick there (colds) and had a hard time being motivated to go to the parks.  Fortunately we got the no expiration option so we didn't feel bad not using the passes for the full 5 days that we had gotten.  We did the dining plan.  I highly recommend it!  

    3.  I am also a BA.  How do you like your job?

    4.  One suggestion on the website (and I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings).  You might want to move your registry to another section of the site.  When I first went to your site, it was the first thing I saw.  From an etiquette standpoint, it may not be the best placement.  Otherwise, I loved it and it was nice to get to know you.

    Awesome designs! I am a web designer currently at a company located in Boston (we have an office in PA). And I also graduated with a Computer Science degree, except I have a Graphic Design degree too :)

    You did a good job on the web site! Like PP said it may be a good thing to have registry info on a separate page. I loved looking at your engagement pictures and the proposal story was so nice. It was written well and I got a lump in my throat from it. So sweet.

    Very cool : )

    I am a web and print media designer as well.

    Let me know if you need any feedback or how-to questions, as I designed and printed all of my wedding materials. It's well worth it. Good luck : )

    I have been to Disney 9 times, and other members of my family have been more than that.  We. always. get. sick.  Every time.  There's something about being in a different place with a different sleep schedule, different diet, and encountering thousands of people all in one day that can really drag your body down.  Last trip my mom and brother both got Swine Flu.  Lol.  So there will be a lot of vitamins and hand sanitizer for FI and I!

    I LOVE my job!  I really really do.

    I am still trying to make a registry page!  That part is a work in progress.  I know that's a bad place for it, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with it, lol.  I WILL move it eventually.

    Did you print them at home?  Did you use a professional printer?  If so, who?  Etc.
