/for-couples lays out exactly how to use Melaa: browse, shortlist, send one wishlist, book direct. Free, no middleman, no commission.
Read the walkthrough →How we verify vendors, what the green check means, what it doesn't. Live counts of verified listings. /trust is the new home for transparency.
See the bar →Anand Karaj, Mehndi, Walima, Mandap. 30 South Asian wedding terms, plain English, each linked to the vendors who handle them.
Browse glossary →Vendor profiles now show "● N couples have inquired in the last 30 days" when activity is real. No fake counters — only renders when count > 0.
Inquiry trends over 30 days, event-mix breakdown, seasonality, read-rate. Honest metrics, no inflated impressions. Upgrade unlocks the full lead history.
Open analytics →Share your unique link. When another GTA vendor signs up for Founding Basic, you both get a month free credited to your next invoice. No cap.
Get your link →Enter a past client's name + email and Melaa sends them a branded review request. Less awkward than asking yourself, much higher reply rate.
Send an invite →Live count of remaining $49/mo Founding spots, shown above the fold on /pricing /apply /list-your-business. After 100 paid signups, price normalizes to $99.
Couples now get a one-tap follow-up email a month after their inquiry. Closes the conversion loop — we finally know which inquiries became bookings.
Vendor browse, pricing, list-your-business, every ceremony, every city, every guide — all flipped to indexable. Layout default also changed. Net: ~20+ canonical URLs added to Google's index path.
Three honest, anonymized quotes on /list-your-business — names withheld until vendors consent to public attribution. Verifiable on request.
Read them →One-click export of your full inbox to CSV — pipe it into your own CRM or spreadsheet. UTF-8 with BOM so Excel opens it correctly.
Export →Cut the v2 font payload by ~70% — 9 font families down to 3. Pages load faster, no more text reflow on first paint.
The cmd-K palette JS doesn't ship until you actually press cmd-K. ~20KB shaved off every initial page load.
Compose your reply right inside an inquiry — sends via Melaa with your email as Reply-To, BCCs you. Three default quick-reply templates.
Open inbox →After a couple sends an inquiry, the confirmation email is now editorial-styled with what-happens-next, browse-more CTA, signup pitch, and 3 guide links.
Every Monday 9am ET, vendors get a summary of last week's inbox activity + a soft pitch to upgrade if they're still on the free tier.
The Brief — Melaa's editorial digest. New vendors, new tools, new guides, what families are inquiring about, what vendors are saying.
