I've landed a project to produce on-line ecards for a chain of comedy stores which are to be personalised with a message, sender and recipient info etc etc. Has anyone here had any experience with these before? And anyone willing to quote and work with me on the project?

PM me if poss.

When I say work with me I mean I'll take on the role of the client/middle man/chump.

Not if you don't know what your doing.
Don't want to fuck this job up ... it's for a decent sized client.

Thanks Mik, but isn't this just an email and list management tool? Mass marketing that sort of thing?

I'm looking for a way to let people personalise a card online and send it to their granny or something.

Had a hunt around and found popsoft.info, looks like it'll be fairly simple to set up but not sure how professional the finished product will be.

Any suggestions.

gray · 07-10-2005, 08:35

If you can get someone to design it, I can code it dead easily. Two or three days work max.

Mr Fred · 07-10-2005, 08:41

We sent 3500 last year online via some mail system - 4 got delivered and stick and I were included in that.

Won't be going down that route again

straight over to programmers talk and mark it up by 50%

Transmogrify · 07-10-2005, 08:49

Fairly simply.. just the same way you'd generate an HTML page on the server, with asp/php/.net - your server side language of choice. form to get the details - generate the code that'd make up the email. You'd then make a server call to create the email with attachments (ie. the images that make up the card) unless the images were to be stored on the server, then your email would just contain links to the images stored on the server. Send the email. job done. Roughly, anyway.

Mr Fred · 07-10-2005, 08:54

thought it was in flash?

fuck me - i am talking about something completely different.

Transmogrify · 07-10-2005, 08:54

Even in flash it'd be the same process, kind of.

You might be talking about something different though, unless I am.

gray · 07-10-2005, 08:54

haha i thought flash too
