Like to know what you think!


Little backstory:
Over a year ago I wanted to send a friend of my who moved out of the country an online greeting. I had received "e-cards" before but had never bought one myself so I went online looking. Hundreds of sites later I couldn't find what I was looking for. I wanted a "card" with a front and inside to it like a real card but all I could find was flash movies. I figured if I wanted to send them a movie clip I could just send a youtube url so instead I made a little flash program with a card I made that you could open and also had my signature on the inside.
Some time later I thought that if I wanted something like this, perhaps other people did. I got together with my brother and started work on this website. To add to the "virtual card" experience we decided to include a shelf like real card stores to browse and shop from. I programmed the site and designed the dynamic shelf while my brother designed the skin to contain the shelf area and also made most of the cards you see here.
Many, many hours of work later we are done! Hope you enjoy...
