I hate our wedding website.

I wanted a basic wedding website. I felt like we needed one to offer a map and directions to our venue (it's not that confusing, but if you program it on the GPS it takes you to the back of the park where there is no entrance) as well as additional details on the ceremony (because it's planned to take place outdoors, weather permitting). We also included an accommodations page, a registry page, and a very short blurb about the proposal (we've been getting asked about it a lot). 

The thing is, FI designed it. He's designed one or two great websites before, but for some reason this one just isn't working for me. I'm trying to put on a good face because I know he's spent a lot of time on it, but he knows I don't like it. 

I know this is one of those things that just doesn't matter, but I'm bothered by it. Please remind me that I'm being silly and I shouldn't really give two fucks about it. It's a website, for crying out loud.

    That's a bummer that you don't like it! Do you know what is about it that you don't like...the colors, layout, content? In the end no one is going to care (or even remember) what your wedding website looks like. As long as it is functional and has all of the information that you want to provide to your guests you are good :)

    Yup. You are being silly. Ours was totally lame and no one looked at it anyway. But, don't care, the wedding was still awesome.

    Did he completely design the layout, design as the PP mentioned or did he pick a TK layout and just type in the details from there? My FI is a computers person too, however, I took the reign with our website as I know he wouldn't really care about the website, wouldn't put much thought into it, and I could put as much or little detail as I wanted to, thus if I didn't like it then it would fall back on me, not him. Maybe you can go back through it with him together and tweak things a little so you can be happy with it or scrap it all together and if he made a the knot website and all you have to do is pick a layout and fill in the boxes, you can do it yourself.

    This will have precisely zero impact on your long-lasting marital happiness. Getting into a fight about you hating his design might have .001 impact.

    If it's nagging at you, figure out a specific change you can ask him to make to it - would changing a font or a color make it a little bit better without hurting his feelings by saying the whole thing sucks?

    But in the long run, even the shittiest looking website won't matter.

    I like my wedding website and apparently no one is looking at it because no one has any idea whats going on with transportation. So most likely no one is looking at yours

    No one even looked at our website, I don't think it's worth an arguement.

    I knew a post on here would help. 

    For those of you who asked, it's not a template; he's building it from scratch. I tried to make little suggestions to improve things, but he'd counter by saying it doesn't make sense. I even sent him some examples of websites I liked. Harumph :(

    But you're right; it really doesn't matter. If I were a stranger looking at it, it wouldn't be bad, but I'm very particular about things so maybe it's just me.
