What's new

Your Wedding Atlas is now internationalized across our supported English-speaking markets. This update makes the app more useful for couples and vendors planning weddings across different countries, with market-specific browsing, currencies, and checkout behavior now working together.

The first supported country routes are /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz, covering Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. These market routes are now part of the core app structure instead of being treated as simple redirects.

Features & Improvements

• English-region market support is now live

  • Your Wedding Atlas now supports dedicated English market experiences for Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Core pages now use market-aware routes such as /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz so visitors can browse from the country experience that best matches them.
  • Shared pages like vendor discovery, vendor profiles, releases, blog posts, search, and vendor onboarding now work inside the localized market structure.
  • Country-specific browsing is now more consistent across the app, making it easier to explore vendors and planning tools from the right regional experience.

• Multi-currency vendor payments

  • Vendor listing subscriptions can now be paid in supported regional currencies.
  • Supported checkout currencies now include CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, and NZD.
  • Vendor pricing pages and checkout flows now display the right currency based on the selected market, the user’s currency preference, or existing billing activity.
  • For example, a vendor joining from /ca can see and pay in CAD, while a vendor joining from /uk can see and pay in GBP.
  • If a user explicitly changes their currency preference, pricing can reflect that preference where the selected currency is supported.

• Improved billing consistency

  • Vendor onboarding and sales-link checkout now use the same pricing catalog.
  • Vendor checkout now resolves pricing through the same product pricing system whether a vendor starts from the public join page or a private invitation link.
  • If an account already has Stripe billing activity in one currency, future subscriptions for that account stay in that billing currency.
  • Checkout summaries, promo codes, taxes, recurring totals, and final payment amounts are now more consistent across standard onboarding and sales-link flows.

• Language and currency preferences

  • The language and currency switcher has been expanded into a combined interface.
  • Users can choose a supported market language and currency more clearly from the app menu and footer.
  • Currency preferences now flow into pricing and checkout surfaces where supported.
  • The app now has a cleaner foundation for future localized language expansion beyond English.

Notes

• This release focuses on English-language market support rather than full translation into non-English languages.
• The active English market routes are /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz.
• The active app subscription checkout currencies are CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, and NZD.
• More localized content, regional vendor discovery improvements, and future language expansion will build on this internationalization foundation.
• Vendor package currencies are separate from app subscription billing, so vendors can still present their own package pricing in the currencies that fit their business.

What’s coming next

• Future translation work will build on this foundation, with potential localized language experiences such as fr-CA, lv-LV, it-IT, and other country-language combinations.
• Upcoming localization work will focus on translated content, regional vendor discovery, and better planning experiences for couples and vendors outside the initial English market rollout.

This release turns shared wedding workspaces into the main planning foundation and brings the Guest List tool into a usable public state. Users can now work from an owned workspace, collaborate across shared workspaces, and manage guest list data inside the correct workspace context. 🎉

This update focuses on two things: a new, human‑friendly sitemap to help you discover pages across the site, and a smoother mobile map experience that feels more like a modern marketplace.

If browsing has ever felt a little cramped or unclear on mobile, this should feel noticeably better.

Features & Improvements

• New human‑readable sitemap

  • Added a new /explore page that works like a “site map for humans.”
  • It pulls together locations, categories, vendors, help articles, blog posts, and releases in one place.
  • There’s now a simple “Sitemap” link in the footer so it’s easy to find.

• Mobile map browsing feels more natural

  • The list now opens in a half‑map / half‑list view by default, so you can see both at once.
  • You can drag the list down to a peek state when you want the map to take over.
  • A “Show map” button appears once the list covers the map, so getting back to the map is always one tap away.

• Better spacing around pins and labels

  • The map now leaves breathing room at the top and bottom so pins don’t hide under the header or list.
  • This makes the map easier to scan and reduces the feeling of “clipping” while you explore.

Bug fixes

• Fixed cases where the mobile map loading pill wasn’t visible.
• Smoothed out spacing near the bottom of the map on mobile so the map footer doesn’t feel cramped.

This update focuses on two things: a more reliable, “app-like” experience across the site, and a refreshed map experience that makes exploring areas feel clearer and more natural. If the site has ever felt a bit jumpy, inconsistent, or slower than you expected, this release should feel noticeably better.

Here's what we have so far, but there's more to come.

Features & Improvements

• New spatial map look and feel

  • The map now uses a cleaner, calmer style so locations are easier to read at a glance.
  • Roads and land/water areas have better contrast, so the map feels less noisy while you browse.
  • Important places stand out more clearly, without the map competing with the listings.

• More stable browsing (less “jumpiness”)

  • Search results and vendor grids now load in a way that feels steadier and more predictable.
  • Fewer layout shifts while listings appear, so the page does not move around as you scroll.
  • Vendor images and cards feel more consistent as content loads.

• Smoother exploration

  • Browsing around and changing areas feels more fluid and less disruptive.
  • Map-based exploration feels closer to a modern marketplace experience, where the map supports discovery instead of distracting from it.

• Clearer expectations for what is coming next

  • We also published a Tools roadmap so you can see what planning tools are on the way.
  • Guest List (with RSVP tracking) is the first full tool in progress and will unlock other tools that build on it.

Bug fixes

• Fixed cases where the map could show an unexpected default style instead of the intended design.
• Fixed cases where map updates could feel inconsistent while exploring different areas.
• Fixed small UI issues that could cause content to shift or flicker during load.

We kicked off the year with a stability-focused release that makes browsing feel smoother and more predictable — especially across search, results grids, and the map. This work also sets up the next wave of more visible updates coming soon ✨

Improvements

• A faster, smoother “app feel” across core browsing flows.
• Less page “jumping” as results load, so scrolling stays steady.
• Vendor grids and media load more consistently with fewer visual shifts.
• A refreshed map style that better matches the marketplace UI and feels calmer to browse.
• More reliable location browsing:
  • Location search respects hierarchy more consistently.
  • Map reactions (like how the view updates) behave more predictably.
• More consistent search bar and navbar behavior while scrolling.

Bug fixes

• Fixed edge cases that could cause map visuals to fall back or feel inconsistent.
• Fixed layout and spacing issues that could trigger noticeable content shifting during load.
• Fixed small search UI state issues that could make browsing feel out of sync.

This release makes sign-in and vendor contact feel continuous instead of disruptive. You can browse, favorite, and start conversations without getting bounced around. It also introduces what we are actively building next: instant messaging (beta), payments with signed agreements, and a vendor calendar for scheduling and future public availability.

Improvements

• Smoother sign-in when you need it

  • Sign-in modals now appear when auth is required (example: favoriting, messaging, saving), so browsing stays uninterrupted.
  • Google auth is now enabled so users can log in or sign up with their Google account for increased convenience and security.
  • After you sign in, the page updates in place so you can continue exactly where you left off.
  • Navigation and menus update instantly after login (no “start over” feeling).

• Cleaner vendor contact experience

  • “Contact vendor” is more focused, with less clutter and a clearer next step.
  • Message composition is simpler and faster, with fewer confusing fields.
  • The overall tone is more direct and consistent with the rest of the marketplace.

• Foundation for deeper vendor communication

  • Conversations are being structured so messaging can become a real workflow (not just a one-off contact form).
  • The direction supports future features like quote requests, package selection, and payment milestones.

Coming soon

• Instant messaging with vendors beta

  • Real-time conversations with vendors inside Your Wedding Atlas.
  • A dedicated messages experience designed for quick replies and ongoing planning.
  • Beta rollout first, followed by wider availability once reliability is proven.

• Payments + digitally signed agreements

  • Vendors and couples will be able to send or request money directly in the platform.
  • Contracts/agreements will support digital signatures so both sides have a clear record.
  • Designed for real wedding workflows: deposits, installments, and final payments (coming later).

• Vendor calendar

  • A vendor calendar for scheduling and managing bookings.
  • Built to support future visibility where couples can see availability publicly (optional), so booking feels easier and faster.

Bug fixes

• Fixed edge cases where sign-in could interrupt the flow and require extra steps to resume.
• Fixed small UI inconsistencies after login that could make the page feel out of sync.
• Fixed minor issues in the contact vendor flow that could cause confusion or unnecessary friction.

We improved how search engines discover Your Wedding Atlas, and we also expanded vendor listings so couples can understand what each vendor offers at a glance — including categories, types, attributes, venue spaces, and packages.

Improvements

• Improved sitemap coverage for key public routes so more pages can be discovered.
• Reduced duplicate search URLs competing in results.
• Cleaned up canonical signals for discovery pages.
• Expanded vendor listings with clearer structure:
  • Vendor categories to group vendors by what they are.
  • Vendor types to describe sub-types within a category.
  • Vendor attributes to highlight key features (ex: style, service options, amenities).
• Added venue spaces so venues can describe the spaces they offer (ex: ceremony space, reception space, outdoor area).
• Added vendor packages so vendors can publish offerings with:
  • Package name
  • What’s included
  • Starting price (and clearer pricing expectations)

Bug fixes

• Fixed crawl issues caused by inconsistent discovery URLs.
• Fixed small indexing signal issues found during post-deploy route checks.
