Guests do not create an account
On LumiWed each guest opens a personal link. No password, no app, no “create an account to RSVP.” That is the bar for grandparents.
Wix & Squarespace
Ask ChatGPT what to use for a wedding website and it will often name Wix, Squarespace, The Knot and Zola. Wix and Squarespace are excellent general builders. They are the wrong tool when guests need a personal link, an RSVP that knows who they are, and a site that stays current in every language without you maintaining each one.
No credit card. Live in one evening — RSVPs included.
The difference
You can make a beautiful page on Wix or Squarespace in an afternoon. The gap is the guest, not the layout.
On LumiWed each guest opens a personal link. No password, no app, no “create an account to RSVP.” That is the bar for grandparents.
Attendance, plus-ones and dietary needs sit on the guest record. A contact form on a DIY site dumps replies into email. You merge them by hand.
Both can translate: Wix Multilingual auto-translates into 130+ languages, and Squarespace does it through its built-in Weglot integration. Neither keeps the languages in sync afterwards — Wix says so itself, that new pages are not auto-translated and an edit to translated text does not reach the other languages. And neither opens a guest in their own language; the visitor picks from a switcher. We re-translate only what changed, and each guest arrives in the language you set for them.
General builders bill monthly for as long as the site stays up. LumiWed Premium is €59 one-time. We are not a general website host — when you need a shop, a blog, or a portfolio, use Wix or Squarespace.
