Introduction

Well Wed is a fictional company that I have made up due to helping my sister with her upcoming wedding. There are many sites that provide a lot of information on how to plan a wedding and I was inspired to use that ides for this project.
For the project I will create a web site that will incorporate information anyone would need to plan their wedding as well as provide a wedding planning service with consultants to assist clients. The site will be available to connect customers to vendors as well as offer information that will help to ensure that nothing is forgotten in planning their wedding.
The project will focus on a variety of users. This will help to ensure that the site is accessible to as many people as possible. The navigation of the site will allow those who are experienced web users and less experienced web users to efficiently locate the information they need. The site will also be accessible to those with disabilities so that they too may utilize the valuable information on the site.

Site Purpose and Rationale

I propose to design a website for a wedding planner. The site will promote the planners business, allowing them to display past weddings they have planned and showcase vendors that they use. The website will be beneficial to the wedding planner, by allowing them to display their work and will also benefit prospective clients by allowing them to get an idea of what to expect when obtaining the services of the wedding planner.
