This project is called BirthdayCard.online

It is a free web application for creating digital birthday cards.

The creation process goes in stages to allow the users to select the image, enter the card recipients name, add a message, customize the display of the card page, add a comment section, and add music or a video to the page.

The page is made with PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap, MySQL, and OpenAI API integration.

The pages include the main page to view the site and quick preview of cards, a browse page to see the cards others have made, the create page to make your own cards (no signup needed), a registration page to create an account (for notifications and editing purposes), a account page to view your account info and created cards, and an admin panel to see analytics, card management, user management, and analytics reports.

The goal is to add ads to the page, share it on Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn as well as internal networks to get views and have it be adopted as the primary site for birthdays across the globe and eventually either sell it to a large organization that specializes in the birthday niche or team up with other companies like Shopify or a small company that can add on an e-commerce element so that users can have custom items ordered for the birthday ahead of time and allow for things like galleries, combining birthday cards over years, and allowing the pages to act more like event pages, so users can advertise their own parties, sell tickets, post a birthday registry, etc.

Current marketing efforts involve searching social media platforms for users that have their birthday publicly displayed and created cards for them so that users start to see the ease of use and utility of the service. Reddit r/birthday
