Lazo vs Zola vs The Knot
Zola and The Knot make good wedding websites.
They are free, the designs are lovely, RSVPs work, and registries link. If you want a page that says who, when and where, either will do. This page is about what happens after the invitation goes out.
A Lazo wedding website lives in the same account as your guest list, seating chart, timeline and vendors. That is why it can do things a brochure can't: let guests add photos from their phones, tell each guest their table, mark what's happening right now on the day, translate itself for family abroad, and keep going after the wedding with chapters and a guestbook.
What you get here that you don't get there
Both of those sites are lovely brochures. This is the part after "Save the date".
