It is a portal specialized in greeting cards, some animated, others available in video format, suitable for any occasion and to be sent by e-mail. It is only available in English, but considering the huge assortment of content and the possibility of customization offered, this is not a flaw. Moreover, its use is quite intuitive even for non polyglot speakers.
