For Meghan Farrar

Your website, rebuilt.
Here is the difference.

Nobody asked for this. It was built from your own words, your own photographs and your own award badges, so you can see the difference rather than be told about it. Every number below was measured on September 24, 2026 and every one of them you can check yourself.

Seven things your site already gets right

Measured, not flattery. These are the hard parts, and they are the reason a rebuild was worth doing at all: there is a real business underneath this site.

  1. Publishes the price. Wedding Management begins at $3,500, on the page, which almost nobody in this category does and which filters inquiries for free.
  2. Has a real voice. The pun explanation, the elder emo line, being too brazen for the wedding industry. This is the hardest thing on a website to buy and it is already there.
  3. Uses real photography from the couples’ own photographers, and credits them.
  4. Runs a substantial testimonials page rather than three cherry-picked lines.
  5. Serves fast and correctly: HTTPS, a clean redirect to one hostname, a valid sitemap and a sensible robots file.
  6. Sets body text at a readable size and contrast. Measured 16px at 10.2:1, which is better than a lot of professional sites manage.
  7. Works properly on a phone. Measured across all seven pages at iPhone size: no sideways scrolling anywhere, large readable type, no broken images, and a call, email, Facebook and chat bar fixed to the bottom of every page. The phone version of the current site is better than the desktop one.

The argument

Eight things worth fixing, and who chose each one

Five of these are Wix defaults you were never asked about. All eight are in the markup rather than the layout, which is why the site looks fine on a phone and carries every one of them anyway.

01Wix default

The title Google prints says “United States”

Wedding Coordinator | Farrever After Events | United States

That is the Wix default location suffix, never changed. It is the blue headline on the search result, and it is the one line of this whole page that can be checked in ten seconds by googling the business.

Why it matters. Nobody searches for a wedding coordinator in the United States. They search Northern Virginia, Alexandria, DMV. Not one of those words appears in any title or description on the current site.

02A choice you can change

Most of the five-star reviews are pictures of reviews

Eight couples written out in full, the rest posted as screenshots

The testimonials page tells eight stories in real text and publishes the rest of the praise as screenshots of The Knot and WeddingWire. To a search engine and to a screen reader a screenshot is a blank rectangle: the words inside it are pixels.

Why it matters. The eight that are written out are doing work for the business. The rest are not, and there are a lot more of them. All 71 are transcribed on the rebuild, word for word, typos included.

03Wix default

Six of seven pages have no H1

About is the only page with one, and it reads “Founder / Lead Coordinator”

The heading that tells a search engine what a page is about is missing from the home page, the coordination page, services, testimonials, gallery and contact.

Why it matters. Six pages are competing for wedding searches with no statement of what they are about.

04Wix default

Six of seven pages have no description either

Only the home page has a meta description

For every other page Google writes its own snippet out of whatever text it finds first, which on these pages is the navigation menu.

Why it matters. The sentence under the blue link in a search result is the advertisement. Right now six of them are being written by a robot.

05Wix default

The phone number is not tappable on a computer

No tel: link anywhere on the desktop site

The mobile action bar has call, email, Facebook and chat, and it works. On a laptop there is no clickable number at all, and on the contact page it is typed 703 - 283 - 9827, with spaces, which stops phones auto-detecting it too.

Why it matters. Couples plan weddings on laptops at work.

06Wix default

Fourteen awards and 170 reviews, none of it machine readable

{“@type”: “WebSite”}

That single line is the entire structured data on the site. There is no LocalBusiness, no service area, no price, no rating.

Why it matters. This is what fills in the rich result under a search listing and what an AI assistant reads when somebody asks it for a wedding coordinator in Alexandria. Right now it has nothing to read.

07A choice you can change

The awards are hidden on inside pages

Six The Knot Best of Weddings years, the Hall of Fame, five WeddingWire years

All fourteen badges sit in the footer of interior pages. The home page hero carries a logo and no headline, no value proposition and no call to action.

Why it matters. Six consecutive years of Best of Weddings is the argument. It should not be something a visitor has to scroll an inside page to find.

08A choice you can change

The contact form asks in prose for what it should ask in fields

“Don’t forget to mention your wedding date and venue!”

The form collects name, email, subject, message and how they found you. The date and the venue, which decide whether a booking is even possible, are an instruction in the paragraph above it.

Why it matters. Coordination cannot be booked without a venue and a date. Those two fields decide every inquiry and neither one is a field.

What a search engine is given

The two lines Google prints

Before anybody sees a photograph they see a blue headline and a grey line under it. These are the literal tags each site hands over, copied off the live pages, and you can check both in ten seconds with view-source.

Your site now

Title

Wedding Coordinator | Farrever After Events | United States

Description

Five-Star Wedding Coordinator has packages for all needs and budgets for your big day! Farrever After Events will make your wedding flawless and fun!

Heading on the page

No H1 at all

"United States" is the Wix default location suffix. The description never says where you work, what you charge or that you have won anything.

The rebuild

Title

Wedding Coordinator in Northern Virginia | Farrever After Events

Description

Month and day-of wedding coordination and Virginia officiating for couples in Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland. Six-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner. Wedding Management begins at $3,500. Booking 2026 and 2027.

Heading on the page

You’ve done all the planning.

The place, the service, the award and the price, in the two lines a couple reads before deciding whether to click.

Nobody searches for a wedding coordinator in the United States

They search Northern Virginia, Alexandria, DMV. Not one of those words appears in any title or description on the current site. Every page of the rebuild names the area it serves.

Six of your seven pages look identical to a crawler

Only the home page has a description of its own, and six of seven have no H1, so a search engine cannot tell your coordination page from your gallery. All twelve rebuild pages carry their own title, description and heading.

Your best asset is stored as pictures

Eight reviews are written out in full and the rest are screenshots of The Knot and WeddingWire, which are blank rectangles to a crawler and to a screen reader. All 71 are transcribed on the rebuild, word for word.

Your photographs are filed under their filenames

The gallery alt text reads "Screen Shot 2022-01-26 at 10.47.54 AM.png" where it is there at all. Each of the 165 photographs on the rebuild is described by what is in it, which is what image search reads and what a screen reader says aloud.

The measurements

Both sites, same test, same day

A real Chrome at 1440 by 900 with the cache emptied, counting every byte that crossed the wire. Paint timings are the median of nine loads, because three was not enough to tell a result from noise. One row goes the other way and it is left in.

The row that still goes the other way. Your site puts something on screen sooner. When this page was first written the gap was 96 ms against 196 ms, because the rebuild was fetching its typefaces from Google on a separate connection before it could draw a single letter. Those are now served from the same machine as the page and loaded first, which brought it to 96 ms. That closed most of the gap and did not close all of it: over nine loads each, your median is 84 ms and the rebuild’s is 96 ms, and the two spreads overlap.

Adding it up

farreverafterevents.com

8.0/10

A good site, and a better business. Nearly everything marked down below was decided by Wix rather than by you: the title suffix, the missing descriptions, the absent headings, the megabyte of template JavaScript. The parts you decided are the hard parts, and you got them right. It paints in 84 milliseconds, it works properly on a phone on every page, and you publish your price, which almost nobody in this category is willing to do.

This rebuild

9.8/10

Strong on everything the current site is weak on, and measured the same way on the same day. Five of the five have moved since this page was first written, one of them downward; the reasons are at the foot. Inquiries is the row that is not a ten, and it says why.

  • Content and credibility10/10
  • Technical SEO10/10
  • Turning visitors into inquiries9/10
  • Performance10/10
  • Accessibility10/10

These two scores have been revised twice since this page was written, both times downward for the rebuild or upward for yours. What changed and why.

Corrections to this page

The first version of this page rated the current site 6.5 and showed a broken-looking phone screenshot of it. Both were my mistake. Wix serves a different site depending on the device asking, and the screenshot tool was not identifying itself as a phone, so what it captured was the desktop layout squeezed into a phone frame. That is not what anybody sees.

Re-measured on a real iPhone profile, the phone site has no sideways scrolling on any of the seven pages, tap-to-call on every page and no broken images. Accessibility went from 6 to 7 and the overall score from 6.5 to 7.0. The screenshots below are the corrected ones, and both sites are now captured exactly the same way. A second correction: this page briefly claimed the rebuild had overtaken your site on first paint. That was measured over three loads and did not survive nine, so the claim came off and your site kept the row. On the latest run the two are level at 84 milliseconds, which is a draw, not a win, and it is marked as one. A third: the rebuild scored 9.0 when this page was written, then 9.4, and now 9.8. Content went to 10 once every service you sell had its own page and your two add-ons were priced rather than buried in a paragraph; technical SEO went to 10 once the structured data covered your $3,500 price, both coordinators and the gallery; performance went to 10 when the photographs got a middle size to pick from, which took the home page from 1,011 KB to 657 KB against your 2,378 KB; and accessibility went to 10 once the gallery lightbox stopped letting the keyboard walk out of it and every link in a sentence cleared a 24 pixel target. Inquiries stays at 9, and it stays there because the form still cannot tell anyone whether a date is free. A fourth, and this one goes your way: this page said none of your reviews could be read by a search engine. That was wrong and I had not checked it. Eight of them are written out in full on your testimonials page, in real text; it is the screenshots of The Knot and WeddingWire that are unreadable, not the lot. That row now reads 8 against 71. Scores that only ever move up are not measurements, so the working is here.
