    the site works visually, nothing really sticks out saying 'this is an awesome design" but nothing sticks out as saying "man, this design sucks!" it just looks, well....like typical web page. now, there is nothing wrong with that if your main focus is usability and/or communication.

    the only thing that i would personally change is to add something like "working hard to make marriage a priority in today's busy world" underneath the web site's title (and make the title a little larger, even if you have to make that picture beside it smaller- no one visiting the site for the first time will even know or care who those people are in the picture anyways)
    i base this on when i went to the website, i didn't even know what it was about until i had looked around and started reading the main content. now i try to review the site as an average web user in the public sea of humanity would- and having that frame of mind isn't too hard for me because i am an artist, not a graphic/web designer- but i could probably tell you what he average user would notice better than what a seasoned graphic designer would nit-pick over.

    overall, it's good work. many don't appreciate the time, effort, and frustration that goes into creating a web site. it works for its purpose, as far as I can tell, without extravagance.

      Thanks for the feedback. I will look into putting more of the purpose of the site in a prominant place. The point is getting the info across to the couples so keeping it simple works for them.
