Unlike our competitors, we provide as many businesses as possible to choose from to cater for people with different desires for their weddings. Some may want a fairy tale wedding, others may like a medieval or other themed wedding and others may just be on tight budget. Whatever they are after, they can find it here.

Free Listings

WedWeb aims to be the most comprehensive wedding website in Australia, providing information about local businesses for brides- and grooms-to-be in each state. For this reason, we offer you a free listing that you could be paying up to $400 on other wedding websites. WedWeb is growing in size and popularity due to this policy. For this reason, we don't ever plan on charging for free listings no matter how popular we become.

We offer in a free listing what other directories charge up to $400 for. A simple free listing includes the following information:

• Your company name;
• A link to your website;
• An email form for inquiries about your services by potential clients;
• Your location;
• Your phone numbers.
• A 180 character description to sell your product or service.

Link back to improve your listing

The above details are currently provided for free. However, you can further improve your ad quality and priority, therefore interest in your listing, by linking back to us from your website. The advantage of linking back is that you will obtain a higher placement (often first page) and get a longer 250 character description of your services and a bonus image. That way customers see your listing sooner and have a better idea of the kind of service you provide. You may not be aware, but linking between related websites also increases their popularity in search engines, boosting traffic (and business) to your site!
