164 | Jen from Tonic Site Shop Shares Her 2025 Website Hit List & Sh*t List

The Power in Purpose: A Podcast for Wedding Pros

This week on the podcast, we’re diving deep into 2025 website trends for wedding pros with one of my absolute faves, Jen from Tonic Site Shop. If you don’t know Jen yet, she’s a genius when it comes to crafting beautiful, functional websites that actually work—not just look pretty. Together, we’re spilling all the tea on what’s in and what’s out for website trends in 2025.

We’re calling this episode Jen’s “Website Hit List and Sh*t List,” and let me tell you, she does not hold back. From minimalist monochromatic designs to gradients, parallax scrolling, brutalism (yes, that’s a thing), and even whether sliders still deserve a place on your homepage, we’ve got it covered. There’s so much practical advice here—like why your fonts shouldn’t be tiny anymore and why an immersive website experience could completely change your business.
