Note: Review Based on personal experience with the website!!! No offenses please and do remember that opinions differ from Person To Person!!!!
Hehe Geek airlines flying high in the sky with new aircrafts & pilots..:) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey friends many a times these days as the cost of sending the courier out of the country has become a little expensive, How many of you wanna send not normal cards but animated cards to your near and dear ones for free????(Excluding the monthly Internet Charges You Pay!!) From every corner, the answer of the question would be, Oh yes.....and yes...yes me...i wanna send free cards....yes me, will all the people would shout loudly. Then the R&D(Just kIDDIN!) started and came to a resolution in the form of a website through which cards for free could be sent to any email address anywhere across the globe..Out of the whole lot of website, One of them who did it for me came to be known as 123greetings.com, A Perfect Solution!!
President of the Website : Sharad Kajaria
Developed In Year: 1996 -
ABOUT THE WEBSITE!!!
As soon as you type the web address, The website showing lots of cards , cartoons, animated pictures making funny sounds, advertisements will load and amaze you within seconds. On every side which includes left and right, you would see a loonnnnnnggggg list of different categories containing the desired card content. This site has something or the other for everybody....The card collection ranges from Birthdays to Anniversaries, Festivals(New Cards get uploaded of a festival currently going on!!!), Friends , Miss-you cards, Love, Religion, emotional, sympathy, support, wedding and MANY MORE!!!
Out of all of them, the Family Ecards Collection is the best according to me!!! The specialty in these cards is the type of animation and decent matter which is present in each and every one displayed, Believe me-are sooooo cute and jovial. But make sure you have flash player installed otherwise 'Thun Thun Gopal'.......You wont be able to see anyone of them.
Coming to the design portion, Full credit should go to the designer/developer, he's done a marvelous job, I would say- Simplicity At it's best!!!, made in plain White,Light and Dark Green Combination adding more sophistication to the whole thing!!!! The tabs have no outer boundary and the matter is in plain text format. ~~~For those of you thinking that it's got high-fi colour combinations etc, Please change that though for god sake~~~ Recently say about 2 years back they upgraded the website and due to that surfing or navigation through it is now much easier .....and the best part is that you don’t have to register or so for being eligible for sending an electronic greeting.
SEND A CARD BY FOLLOWING JUST 5 STEPS:
1. Open the website.
Browse through the categories & Select the card you want to send.
Fill in the header, footer with words so they appear on the card itself.
Enter the email address, name etc of the recipient and sender.
Choose the date at which you want to send it....
Hurrrrrrraaayyy Card successfully sent for free.
DISADVANTAGES
Everybody dosent have an internet connection or a computer or an email address, so it's not possible to send an ecard to them for free!!!!
Sometimes the delivery fails or bounces back (Happened thrice with me).
There is an own symbolic meaning of those hard paper cards available in the market.
Time Consuming- Rare but it's true!!
~~~~The website should include a 'Search Space', so that the consumer can type the name of the category of card he wants enabling him to do his job faster~~~ So to sum it up, the website is useful for those who cannot send a hard paper card to their loved due to some reasons. From this point of view, the website is amazing. BUT ECARDS ARE USEFUL FOR SOME & NOT USEFUL FOR SOME.....
