In this testimonial, Shannon Leahy, owner of Shannon Leahy Events, describes her boutique event‑planning business, which handles about 10‑15 high‑end weddings per year and emphasizes highly personalized attention to every detail. She explains that prospective clients always visit her website first, so a strong online portfolio is essential. After discovering Wix through an article about easy‑to‑use templates, she adopted the platform for its shift from Flash to HTML, which provides mobile‑friendly sites that look good on iPhones and iPads. Shannon praises Wix’s intuitive template customization—photo swapping, transition control, scrolling behavior, and gallery layouts—allowing her to showcase her work dynamically. She also uses Wix to build dedicated wedding websites for her brides and creates sites for the floral designers she collaborates with, turning the platform into an additional service offering for her clients.

My name is Shannon Leahy and my company is called Shannon Leahy Events. Anyone who wants to hire me, they absolutely go to my website first. It has my entire portfolio on it. I try to keep it about 10 to 12. Sometimes I go to 15 weddings a year. We are really boutique and we like to offer a lot of highly personalized attention to our clients. I found Wix in an article about easy to use templates and I was sold immediately. They used to only offer flash websites which are great, but now they offer HTML which I love because a lot of my clients like to look at my website on their iPhones and iPads and now they can. I've been focusing on high end weddings and parties and creating experiences for my clients. Every detail is thought through from napkin to the napkin accent to the menu card and the charger and the plate that goes on top of it. I mean, we put a lot of thought into the events. I've been using their templates and they're just so easy to use. You can switch photos in and out, you can control the transitions, control how you're scrolling, how many photos are on the page, what the galleries look like. Some greatest work up there. And I've actually created websites both for floral designers that I work with and for my clients now too, which is really neat. I use wix. It's a service that I now offer my brides when they want to have a wedding website for all their guests. I can now create them one on wix. Every time I have a new wedding, I just want to share with the world. It's like my babies. So I can always switch in and out and put the newest and greatest work up there.
