The company name looked familiar, and sure enough: it's the YouOS company. https://www.youos.com/ So have they decided the web desktop thing isn't in demand?

I think they wanted to build a specific webapp as a way of learning what webapp developers need. I believe there's YouOS code under this.

Hrm

I don't know how they're going to compete with theknot.com. I've thought of this idea before and searched out the competitors. Every women and girl out there knows theknot is where you go to plan weddings. theknot is featured in every women magazine available. Heck, I don't plan on getting married anytime soon and I even know you go to theknot.

But hey, it's cool they're trying new things out but they seriously need talk to women before diving into a woman industry related area.

Logo is misleading. Wedding rings are traditionally plain gold bands. Engagement rings are the ones with the rock.

Knowing tonnes of women might be using the site, many WILL notice it:) For such sites details matter a lot; and getting the basics such as this wrong can get your users to lose trust in your site.

Well, ProjectWedding.com was designed by women and it is steadily growing (it currently receives 10,000 page views a day from northern california bride-to-bes).

It's assumptions like yours about theknot.com's monopoly which make this "project" (pun intended) particularly enticing :)

Engagement rings are closely related to weddings. If you polled women about the logo, I doubt you'd get any who would consider it "wrong".
