Do you have a contact phone number ?  

Yes, but please don't give it to a bride, we are NOT wedding co-ordinators and that is why we do not openly advertise the number. It is 0439 859 860 BUT email is our best form of communication. We did in the past have the number listed but were inundated with calls from brides, as we receive so many visits it was just impossible to handle.

What does it cost?  

In line with other Media we have created a zone system for pricing membership to our network, we understand that regional Australia is not able to charge metro prices whilst still incurring similar costs, for this reason we have.

If you operate in an area where we have another website eg: Melbourne / melbournebrides.com.au, then you will receive a duplicate listing for free on that website.

What do I get?

You receive a webpage within our website that features your logo, up to 6 images, up to 400 words of text, contact details, direct email link. A typical webpage looks like this.

Do you link to my website?

Yes, we do ask that you also link to our homepage in return but that is not compulsory.

How long does it take to create my webpage?

Generally within 2 working days of receiving your information from you. You will be sent an email on completion so you can check the webpage.

What are payment terms?

Once the webpage is completed and checked by you, you will be sent an invoice, your webpage will be activated once payment is received. You can direct deposit, internet transfer (prefered), or post a cheque. We don't have credit card facilities sorry.

I already have a website can I just have a link?  

No, everyone must have a webpage. The reason for this is we have found this system works best for both you and the bride, each wepage is individually optomised for search engines meaning our sites have multiple entry points for the bride, the bride may come looking for a photographer and find the cake decorator, the bride will find our site and see that everything she needs is all in one spot and not get lost in the WWW, once the bride has searched our site she will investigate more by going to your website but by then the bride will certainly remember the quality and ease of our service.

Do you do link exchange only?

No, we actively support the businesses that are listed on our website and that gives them a marketing edge on their competitors, if you have a website that no one can find and you're asking for a link exchange its probably worth you to become a member so your website can get seen by more brides.

Why do I have to have a webpage?

Yes: The reason is that we have proven this system works.... year after year after year. Brides can quickly get an overview of many different businesses, the webpages are key to getting the bride interested in your service.

How many competitors will I have?

We are neither a Monopoly nor a Yellow pages, we try to get a balance between "choice for the brides" and "supply & demand competition". Basically we want you to make sales so you stay with us. In the end the amount of businesses is decided by us based on the level of visits each area of the sites are getting.

Can I have multiple pages?

Yes, you can have individual pages created for your different business services eg: Reception venue and Accommodation. They are then listed in their category., you receive a completely seperate page that details that service, we give you a 10% discount on extra pages.

Can I be listed in multiple areas?

Yes, subject to availability in those areas, your page can be duplicated then customized into other areas. We give you a 10% discount on extra areas but you must have an office in that area.

Can I be listed in ALL areas?

Yes, subject to availability please contact us for pricing.

Can I update my webpage during the year?

Yes, you can update your page once during the first year and then every year at renewal time, to change your contact details is always FREE, additional changes are costed at $66 per hour charged in 15min blocks with a minimum fee of 15mins.

Do you charge commission?  

No, we have decided on a flat fair fee. We receive far to many visits to be in the middle of all these weddings, you deal directly with the bride.

Do you take the photographs?  

No, you will need to supply the photographs. If you need a photographer please contact one listed on the website.

Do you write the script/ speil?

NO, only you know your business best and how to attract the bride to your service. Simply answer these 2 questions:

Why should the bride use you and notsomeone else?

What can you do for her?

In our experience getting straight to the point has proven to be the best method, brides view webpages very quickly.

Can I design my own webpage layout?  

NO, the webpages are a standard layout, this helps the bride find your contact details easily and helps the website stay neat and easy to navigate.

Why can't I build my own webpage ?

The pages are made to a standard layout for ease of use by the bride, if you would like a quote on designing your own website we would be glad to.

Can I have a different background colour?

NO, the site is designed to be easy to read so the bride can contact you, changing colours everypage would distract the user.

Who is allowed on the website?

We do our VERY best to scan every business wanting to be on our site, we ask for examples of work/experience and peer references. "backyarders" are not allowed eg: if there is a government regulation for the service eg: transport/ hire cars then we would check these details, "3 mates with hotrods" wouldn't be allowed onto the websites.
