Onboarding
Understand what Cordially creates when you set up a new wedding workspace.
Overview
Onboarding turns your wedding basics into a starter workspace and website draft.
Key concepts
During onboarding, Cordially provisions the private workspace and the first version of the wedding site. The seeded draft gives you a starting point instead of an empty editor.
The onboarding data also helps create the first event and a provisional Cordially subdomain.
Choose a starting design from the live wedding website demos featured on the homepage. Each choice includes a preview and a Demo link. Your choice sets the website's initial layout, sample imagery, colors, and typography, personalized with your names. New featured website designs become choices automatically.
How it works
After you complete onboarding, Cordially creates:
- a workspace account
- your owner membership
- a wedding website attached to the workspace
- a starting Cordially subdomain
- an initial site draft based on your selected design
- an initial event from the wedding details you entered
Common workflow
- Enter the wedding basics.
- Preview the starting designs and choose one.
- Sign in or create your account.
- Let Cordially create the workspace.
- Open the dashboard and review your personalized draft.
- Continue editing events, guests, and website content.
Notes and limitations
Onboarding is only the starting point. You can update wedding details, website content, and event records after the workspace is created.
Your site gets its own draft. Later edits to the sample demo do not replace your content. Save the Date is configured separately, and the demo account's guests, responses, billing, and publication state are not copied into your workspace.
