I built my company solo for about 1.25 years, got a cofounder for half a year (who then quit for a company who could pay more), so I'm back to being solo again on my company WeddingLovely. http://WeddingLovely.com http://WeddingLovely.com was built entirely by myself and there are also five other vendor directories (http://WeddingPhotoLove.com http://WeddingPhotoLove.com and others). There's also a wedding blog at http://WeddingLovely.com/blog/ http://WeddingLovely.com/blog/ that I maintain and post 2-3x daily.
Being that I continue to build, market, and grow my company while solo (revenues going up every month), I'd say I both came very far as one person and still have much more to go before I hit the end. Don't let imaginary limits discourage you. :)
- lscott3 14y agoI have to say that site looks pretty good! I didn't really read it or get into it (other than what you've stated here) but at first glance it looks really well designed.
- limedaring 14y agoThanks! I was a designer before I jumped into development. :)
- nanijoe 14y agoIt seems to me like you should not offer a free trial (a money back guarantee might be better)..Not too sure a monthly plan makes too much sense for planning a wedding either, since it is a one time event. I would also increase the price. I believe I paid $50 for some crappy seat arrangement software that I ended up never using a few years ago. Feel free to disregard my advice of course, since you definitely have more data than I do. All in all, I think you are onto something here
- limedaring 14y agoThanks! All of your suggestions are things I'm testing. ;)
- ronyeh 14y agoVery nice site! I like your pricing page. As someone who planned his own wedding, I feel like your startup is tackling a great problem for people. The wedding industry is all about sucking people dry of their $$$, and if you can do a bunch of useful services for a flat $80, that'd make many folks very happy!
