Greetings Card Website (874399)

**SUMMARY OF PROPOSED SITE **SITE GOAL: To create a simple but sophisticated website enabling customers to customize and send greetings cards. SITE OVERVIEW: The site will be targeted at British residents and expats and those wishing to send greetings cards to British residents or those working / living abroad. It will provide a simple interface enabling customers to choose an appropriate card, add a message, customize design or text and send it either directly to the recipient or boxed and back to themselves (for posting separately). The site will enable uploading of files (i.e. photos, images or signatures) to be inserted into the cards. It will also enable names to be inserted into multiple cards (in a mail merge format). The site should load up swiftly and allow users to move around it seamlessly and quickly. ## Deliverables LAYOUTS/FUNCTIONALITY and PROCESS can be seen here? <[login to view URL]> GOAL: To build an online website and back office databases that enable the creation and sale of customizable greetings cards to UK and internationally based customers.
