This is the wedding website for Daven Quinn and Beth Sams. Our marriage on October 14, 2014 was a great success, which is at least 2% attributable to the code right here. Definitely.
This package is a simple Flask blueprint that
provides a static site plus RSVP functionality (with
emails notifications). There's also a custom Google Maps
style in our wedding colors. I implemented it as part of
my website but have lately
pulled it out into a modular component. A frozen version
is available at http://davenquinn.com/wedding.
This was a fun project (both building the site and packaging it up as a standalone app)! I'd encourage you to fork the code and make it your own. It provides a basic starting point for a wedding or any sort of simple site with a contact form.
The blueprint can be used either at the root
of a website or as part of a larger Flask app. An example
of the former setup is contained in test-app.py. On my website,
I mounted the entire package at the /wedding endpoint.
As this is a standard Python package, the installation
is best accomplished via pip:
> pip install git+https://github.com/davenquinn/wedding-website.git
If you're modifying this for your own use, it might be a
better idea to fork the code, clone the repository to a
local directory, and install using pip install -e <your repo dir>
so you can change things at will.
The website includes a basic testing server (test-app.py).
In general, serving should be accomplished via a performant
web + WSGI server stack (e.g. nginx + gunicorn), with
specific provisions for handling static files.
Tutorials
abound on
how to make this happen.
The website uses sass/compass for stylesheet compilation
and coffeescript for coming up with Javscript. I fully
acknowledge that these are kind of over-complex tools for
this small project, but they are easy enough to implement
if desired.
The Makefile contains recipes for installing and using
these tools: simply make install to bootstrap the tools
(requires Ruby, Node.js and npm), and make to compile.
