Anniversary website
An anniversary website for the two of you, ready in 5 minutes
Updated · by Milad, founder of Ouvella
An anniversary website tells your story back to the person you share it with. Ouvella gives you one already designed: a private link that opens like a little film, with your letter, the photos of your time together, your song, a voice note, a quiz about the two of you and a reveal at the end. Set it to unlock at midnight on the day (in your time zone or theirs), with a countdown until then. You see the full preview for free and pay €9.99 once, only when you send it: no subscription, no account.
What your anniversary website holds
Your partner taps through it scene by scene. Here is what it can hold:
Your story
How it started, in your words
Your photos
The moments that made the year
Your song
One tap and it plays
Your voice
A few lines they can replay
A quiz about you two
Questions only they can answer
The reveal
What comes next, kept for the end
How to make an anniversary website, in 3 steps
1. Tell your story
Pick the love theme and write your letter: how it started, what changed, what you want to say today.
2. Add the photos, the song and your voice
Upload your photos, add your song (a file, or a YouTube or Spotify link that plays in a built-in player), record a voice note in the browser and write a few quiz questions. The preview shows exactly what they will see.
3. Set it for midnight
Pay €9.99 once, choose the date and time it unlocks (in your time zone or theirs), and send the link or the QR code whenever you like. Until that minute, they only see a countdown.
Anniversary website ideas, by milestone
6 months
Keep it light and funny: the first date, the first fight about nothing, the photo you took without them knowing, and a quiz on your inside jokes.
1 year
Retrace the year month by month, with one photo and one sentence for each. End on the moment you knew. More ideas on our 1 year anniversary page, linked below.
2 or 3 years
The places: every apartment, trip or café that became yours, and a voice note about the one you want to go back to.
5 years and more
The people you became: an old photo next to a new one, the song that started it all, and a reveal with the plan for the next five.

Digital anniversary gift ideas
Not every anniversary gift needs a box, and a digital anniversary gift is the one that still arrives on time when you live apart. Here are eight. Six have nothing to do with Ouvella; the two that are ours say so.
1. A playlist of your year
One song for each month you have been together, with a line on why it made the list. It costs nothing on Spotify or Apple Music, and it keeps playing after the day.
2. A video of messages from friends
Ask a few close friends or family members to film ten seconds each, then put the clips together on your phone. Start a week ahead: people are slow to send.
3. Love coupons
Breakfast in bed, a movie night where they pick, a weekend with no chores. Design them in a free tool like Canva and send them as images, or print them.
4. E-tickets for the two of you
A concert, a show or a cooking class. The booking confirmation is the gift, and the date gives you both something to look forward to.
5. A shared photo album
The year’s photos in one shared album (Google Photos or iCloud) with captions, so you can both add to it next year.
6. Something to do together online
A co-op game you both own, an online class, a puzzle solved on a video call. Good for a virtual anniversary.
7. An anniversary websiteOuvella, that’s us
The page described above: your story, your photos, your song, a voice note, a quiz and a reveal, unlocking at the minute you choose. €9.99 once.
8. A countdown to the dayOuvella, that’s us
Our countdown calendar: 3 to 31 doors, one opening each day at midnight in their time zone, with a note, a photo or your voice behind each one, and the last door on the anniversary. €14.99 once. See the online countdown calendar.
Free template or ready-made?
If you like building things, a free route exists: an HTML anniversary template from GitHub, or the free plan of a builder like Carrd or Canva Websites. You choose every detail and build it block by block, find your own way to add music, and with a GitHub template you also handle the hosting. Ouvella is the shortcut: €9.99 once, paid when you send it, for a page that is already designed, carries your voice and a quiz, unlocks at the exact minute you choose (in your time zone or theirs) with a countdown until then, and stays online for at least 5 years. We compared several builders, ours included, on our best birthday website makers page.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an anniversary website for my boyfriend or girlfriend?
On Ouvella, pick the love theme, write your letter, then add photos from your time together, your song, a voice note and a few quiz questions about your story. It is already designed, so it takes about 5 minutes. The full preview is free; you pay €9.99 once to get the private link and the QR code.
Is there a free anniversary website template?
Yes: free HTML templates on GitHub, and the free plans of website builders such as Carrd or Canva Websites. You design everything yourself, and with a GitHub template you host it too. Ouvella is a ready-made alternative for €9.99 once, with your voice, a quiz and an opening at the minute you choose; you can build and preview it for free before paying.
Can it open at midnight on our anniversary?
Yes. You choose the date and time it unlocks, in your time zone or theirs (if your partner lives in another one, set it for midnight in their time zone, with no conversion). Until then the link only shows a countdown and nothing inside, so you can send it days in advance.
What should I put on an anniversary website?
How it started, the photos of the moments that mattered, the song that belongs to you two, a voice note, a quiz only your partner can answer, and a reveal at the end: the next trip, a dinner, or simply the words you have been saving.
How long does the anniversary website stay online?
At least 5 years. You can still edit it after paying through your private link, so next year you can come back to it together.
Who can see it?
Only people with the link. You can add an optional secret word, with a hint, that has to be typed before it opens: the name of the place where you met, for example.
What are some good digital anniversary gifts?
A playlist with one song for each month together, a video of short messages from your friends, love coupons, e-tickets to a concert or a class, a shared photo album with captions, a game to play together online, or an anniversary website with your story, your photos and your voice. The ones that land are about something only the two of you lived.
What are some good electronic gift ideas for an anniversary?
If you mean a device: a Wi-Fi photo frame you can send pictures to from your phone, noise-canceling headphones, an e-reader loaded with a book you both love, an instant camera for your next trip, or a pair of touch lamps that light up at the other end when one of you taps yours. Add a note or a voice message so it says more than the box does.
What are some good digital couple gifts?
Gifts you use together: a shared playlist, a co-op game, a streaming or audiobook subscription you both enjoy, an online class, a shared photo album you keep adding to, or a page with your story that you reopen every year. An Ouvella anniversary website stays online for at least 5 years, so it can be part of the next anniversary too.
What to do for a virtual anniversary?
Plan it like a real date: order the same dinner in both cities or cook the same recipe on a video call, watch a movie in sync, play an online game, then open a surprise together. If you send an anniversary website, set it to unlock at the minute you plan to be on the call. You can pick your time zone or theirs, so there is nothing to convert if you live apart.
What are some cute digital gifts I can give my boyfriend?
A voice note he can replay, a quiz about the two of you with one question he will get wrong, a playlist of the songs from your first months, coupons for the things he never asks for, or a short website that tells your story back to him with your photos. Cute works when it is specific: one inside joke beats ten hearts.
What is the 5 gift rule for boyfriends?
A way to keep gift-giving simple with five small gifts. Most versions go: something he wants, something he needs, something to wear, something to read and something to do. A digital gift fits in: a letter or an anniversary website can be the thing to read, and tickets or a class the thing to do.
What to get your boyfriend as an anniversary gift?
Start from what he does rather than from a gift list: tickets to see a band he likes, a class you take together, a trip or a dinner booked for the two of you, or gear for a hobby he never spends money on. Then add words that are only about him, a letter or a short website with your photos and your voice, so the gift says why and not just what. Our 1 year anniversary gift page has more ideas.
