While we're big advocates for Google Sheets when it comes to wedding planning, we were a little more apprehensive about Google Sites, the company's own website builder. A blank canvas, with some simple fonts and themes, this might be a great resource for someone who's knows exactly how they want their site to look (and how to make it happen), though for novices, it can be a fiddly to put together compared to other dedicated tools.

Price: Free Use this one if: You're a devoted Google user who doesn't mind spending a bit of time figuring out how it all works.

While the themes on eWedding are a little more traditional than other design-led sites, this one does have good features like lots of customisation options, a relationship timeline, and a text RSVP tool. Better still, it's a lower price than some of the other premium website builders. Price: Free/€12.50 per month for premium features Use this one if: You're want a highly-customisable design, or you love the idea of making a relationship timeline!

US mega-wedding directory The Knot also provides a free wedding website builder service.

Wix is an extremely versatile website builder beloved of businesses who want to get online quickly and affordably. They've developed a range of wedding templates specifically designed for couples.

You can upgrade for a full custom URL and to remove the Wix logo from around your site.
