The short answer: WedBuild is the best wedding website builder for most couples. The website and online RSVPs are free for up to 50 guests, RSVPs feed straight into your guest list and seating, and unlimited guests cost A$99 or A$199 paid once. Zola, The Knot and Joy are solid free alternatives; Wix and Squarespace suit couples who want a general website and will handle RSVPs themselves.
Every builder is judged on the same five things. Each cell links to the builder’s own page so you can check it; prices change and vary by country, so confirm there before you pay.

Best for: Couples who want the website, RSVPs, guest list and seating in one place, priced in AUD and paid once.
The best all-round choice. The website and RSVPs are free to start, the RSVP answers flow into the guest list and seating chart, and upgrading is a one-time payment rather than a subscription.
Start free with WedBuildBest for: Couples who also want Zola's registry and a large template range.
A strong free website with good guest tools. Android users don't get the couple app.
Best for: Couples who want their website to match printed stationery.
Free and well rounded, with the stationery match as its standout.
Best for: Couples who want a free site with flexible RSVPs and an app on both platforms.
Generous on free features. Messaging and domains are where costs appear.
Best for: Couples who want full design control and are happy to set up RSVPs themselves.
Flexible design, but wedding tools are add-ons, and an own domain means a paid plan.
Best for: Couples who want a polished design-led site and will pay a subscription.
Beautiful sites, but no free plan and no wedding guest tools: you'd manage RSVPs elsewhere.
The hardest part of a wedding website isn’t the builder, it’s writing the RSVP, travel and FAQ sections. Every template here has that wording ready to copy into any of these builders.
