Additional Theme Customizations
Several aspects of the website theme could be more customizable, such as font capitalization (instead of all caps), edit size/type of "and" between names (personally I'd prefer a fancy ampersand), edit size/type of countdown (the default is so tiny), and the option for social media icons on the home page (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc).

2018 is going to be our year for more customization in our Wedding Website themes. This is still a work in progress, but we have done some user testing and are narrowing down our top features that need some love. Thank you for the feedback! It always helps to hear from members!
Enjoy!

Instead of a small list of words like, whimsical, DIY, etc., maybe have an option where we can have a custom worded theme. My wedding is Dungeons and Dragons themed and I can't really describe that with the preset words. Also perhaps make it so I can put the theme on the wedding website.

I know there are also a few posts about themes already, but I am very surprised that such a prominent website service like The Knot has not already incorporated options to customize website themes. Many other reputable free website designers like Joy, Zola, Blueprint, etc have wonderful modern themes and options to select different background colors, fonts, and add logos/images. How has this not already been adapted by The Knot? The themes on The Knot also seem so outdated and childish. Can we please have the design team take a close look at their competition and up the game a bit? The wedding website is such a central piece of weddings in this modern day, and while functionality with The Knot is great, design is terrible.

Dear Knot,
It is still impossible to personnalize your themes ?
Thanks!

What is the status on this? I had a website that stopped being responsive, so I deleted and started again, but now I no longer have access to the editing tools!

It would be great if you had better themes and themes with sidebars so people don't have to scroll endlessly. it would also be a lot better if the colors could match wedding colors - for instance, my wedding colors are green, yellow and white, and you don't have any attractive themes that go with that. Thanks

It'd be great if we could edit the color and font of the items in the menu bar (Our Wedding; Travel; Registry; etc.).

I was wondering how the website customization is coming along! I’m a web developer but figured it would be easier to use your website tool for things like guest lists, etc. But I am really wishing there was more customization!!!

Is there a way to change the size of the main picture to not stretch the whole width of the screen? And to have our names above/below the picture? Thank you!

Hi Keri,
This is a great wedding website. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the countdown (« 118 days to go! »).
Thanks!

Hi Keri - will there be more themes added to the site in 2018? I'm hoping to have a site prepared by June. I'm using Paperless Post for the Save the Dates but can't find anything on The Knot that fits perfectly. Look forward to hearing from you :) xx

How can we change the background color on the website themes? Is that possible, especially if we know html codes? Thank you!

I see that 100+ modern designs were added for the wedding website. All of the previews include ampersands in between the couples names. Is there an option yet to change the and to an ampersand?

Hi Keri - is there webcode we can use to link to images within specific text areas of the website? For ex., we'd like to feature hotel room images on the accommodations section of the page and I'm wondering if there's an HTML shortcut or specific in-text language I can use to link to images?

Agree - it would be great if it could at least have The Knot's logo as the favicon while the product team works on a custom solution.

YESSS to this!!! This detail makes the page look like it is a fake page or still loading or something. Not beautiful. At the very least starting with a templatized one would be great.
