Can I migrate my Squarespace wedding portfolio to VeloCMS?

Yes — export your Squarespace site via Pages → Export → XML archive. In VeloCMS Admin → Tools → Import, upload the file and your post titles, body text, publish dates, and featured images import automatically. Images re-upload to Cloudflare R2 (included storage). For additional gallery photos per wedding post, you add them through the editor's multi-image gallery block after import. The migration typically takes 1–2 hours for a full portfolio. Your Squarespace site stays live throughout — no downtime for couples currently browsing your work.

How do real-wedding portfolio posts handle 30+ photo galleries?

The VeloCMS post editor supports a native gallery block — drag-and-drop up to 100 images per post in a masonry layout. Images lazy-load as the reader scrolls (so the page stays fast even with 60 photos) and each photo opens in a full-screen lightbox when clicked. No separate gallery service, no external Pixieset link, no Cloudinary embed — all images live on your domain, indexed by Google, and under your control. Each gallery post is a permanent URL like yourdomain.com/weddings/sarah-and-james-vineyard-estate that builds domain authority for '{city} wedding planner' searches over time.

Why is Ribbon Florist the recommended theme for wedding planners?

Ribbon Florist was designed specifically for the wedding industry aesthetic — not a repurposed general-purpose theme. It uses Cormorant Garamond italic in headers (the same typeface used by high-end bridal editorial magazines), antique gold and blush CSS color tokens, a warm-cream background that makes wedding photography feel rich rather than clinical, botanical line-art ornaments in the header and section dividers, and a wide reading column that lets full-bleed wedding photography fill the viewport. Compare this to Squarespace's Brine or Mojave templates — perfectly fine websites, but unmistakably the same template as the dental practice and the yoga studio on the same street. Ribbon Florist signals to couples that you care about visual presentation, which is exactly the signal that converts for a luxury service.

How do paid wedding-planning mastermind tiers work via BYOK Stripe?

In Admin → Settings → Membership, connect your own Stripe account using the OAuth flow — it takes about 60 seconds. Then create a tier (e.g. 'Wedding Planning Masterclass' at $97/month or $497 one-time). Gate your planning curriculum content — video lessons, downloadable templates, budget spreadsheets, vendor negotiation scripts, day-of timeline guides — behind that tier. Couples or fellow planners who want your curriculum subscribe via your VeloCMS checkout page, Stripe processes the payment directly to your bank account, and VeloCMS charges 0% platform fee. The only cost is Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30. A 20-member mastermind at $97/month is $1,940/month recurring — entirely separate from your planning fees.

Can the inquiry form capture wedding date, budget, and vibe?

Yes — the member-signup form in VeloCMS supports custom fields: date pickers (wedding date, engagement date), select dropdowns (budget range, venue type, guest count tier), multi-select checkboxes (aesthetic vibe — classic, boho, modern, maximalist), and free-text fields (anything else). Every submission creates a member record with their full inquiry data attached. You can filter your member list by wedding date ('show me all 2026 October inquiries'), by budget tier ('show me all $100k+ inquiries'), or by venue type ('show me all outdoor ceremony inquiries') and email them directly from Admin → Newsletter. Your inquiry data is yours — not locked in a Honeybook CRM you pay $39/month to access.

Does VeloCMS take a cut of my wedding-planning fees?

No. VeloCMS charges a flat plan subscription (Free $0 / Pro $9/month / Business $29/month) and 0% platform fee on any BYOK Stripe revenue you generate through the membership system. The only payment processing cost is Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, which goes to Stripe's infrastructure — not to VeloCMS. Compare this to Teachable (5% transaction fee on their free plan), Kajabi ($199/month base before your first customer), or The Knot ($300–1,500/month listing fee regardless of how many inquiries convert). Your planning fees and mastermind revenue are between you and Stripe.

Can I run a vendor-affiliate program for preferred florists and photographers?

Yes — VeloCMS's vendor-directory page is a standard post or page you design, with no platform restrictions on what links you include. Add affiliate tracking links to your preferred florists, photographers, caterers, rental companies, and officiants — any affiliate URL works. You can also run informal referral relationships: 'This photographer gave my couples 20% off — here's their inquiry link.' VeloCMS doesn't take a cut of affiliate revenue, doesn't require disclosure integration, and doesn't restrict which affiliate networks you use. Your vendor directory is just HTML on your domain with whatever links you decide to include.

Should I leave The Knot premium listing entirely, or run both?

Run both at first — build your VeloCMS portfolio site and let it compound search authority while you maintain your Knot listing. Once your domain is ranking for '{city} wedding planner' queries (typically 6–12 months of consistent portfolio posts and seasonal trend content), evaluate your inquiry sources. If 60%+ of inquiries are coming from your site rather than The Knot, that's when cancelling the listing makes economic sense. The goal isn't to abandon the Knot on day one — it's to build the owned asset that removes your dependency on the listing fee. The planners who built strong domain authority in 2022–2024 are the ones who could confidently cancel their $1,500/month listings in 2026.
