Web 2.0 - Cardvio Greeting Cards

Thought I would start by sharing our first press release, enjoy!!

Cardvio™ Provides Mother’s Day Solution for the Next Generation

Now you can design and send high quality greeting cards from your PC

April 21, 2006, Malden, MA – Cardvio, the leading innovator in “Net-to-Mail” greetings solutions has announces Version 2.0 of its online greeting card design studio at www.cardvio.com. Just in time for Mother’s Day, Cardvio has stocked its supply of themed cards and upgraded it’s capabilities to include features for design such as:

  • Enhanced drag and drop positioning for text and photo
  • An expanded font list to include most fonts found on standard PC’s or Mac
  • The addition of thousands of cards to search through, including an extensive set of blank backgrounds

Whether sons and daughters want to go the extra mile and design a personal card with their own photos and art, or if they simply do not have the energy to drive to the card store, Cardvio will make this holiday and others, more special. Cardvio takes advantage of new capabilities available to Web 2.0 applications to bring WYSIWYG editing simplicity and design to a new level for creating personalized greeting cards. Cardvio couples that with next day, in the mail, convenience for users who don’t have the time or ability to get to a card store and the post office.

Says CTO Bill Spencer “AJAX, Rich Internet Applications, and Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flex are the rage nowadays, but few companies have been able to capitalize on the promise of these powerful new interfaces. Cardvio™ 2.0 is a convincing demonstration that the promise is already here.”

Launched in January of 2006, Cardvio has captured the imagination and the attention of individual consumers and business alike. Cardvio’s client list includes WorldWise Education, Inc., Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, Norkom Technologies, Inc., among others. Cardvio draws its themed-card content from Paramount Cards Holding Corporation, America’s oldest and third largest greeting card company, with a library of more than 20,000 beautifully designed greeting cards.
