A lot of time and care went into making this site reliable, fast, and enjoyable to use—and we don't charge a dime for any of it.

• Design and development — From the layout and colors to the code that runs every page, we built and maintain the whole experience so creating a card is simple and the result looks great on any device.
• Themes and customization — Multiple themes, custom messages, and the ability to add photos or media so each card feels personal, not generic.
• Shareable links and delivery — Every card gets a unique link you can send by text, email, or social. We handle the hosting and delivery so the recipient sees the card you made, not an ad or a paywall.
• Email and reminders — Optional reminders and newsletter delivery so people don't forget a birthday. That means reliable email infrastructure and APIs, which cost money to run.
• Security and privacy — HTTPS, safe handling of data, and ongoing updates so the site stays secure. No selling your data; we don't monetize you.
• Testing and fixes — We fix bugs, improve performance, and add features based on how people actually use the site. That work is ongoing and unpaid—we do it because we want the product to be good.

Every dollar goes toward keeping BirthdayCard.Online online and usable—not toward salaries or profit. Here's what we use it for:

• Server hosting — The site and all card content need to run somewhere. Hosting costs money every month so the site is fast, available, and backed up.
• Domain — The birthdaycard.online domain and its renewal so people can find and trust the site.
• APIs and services — Email delivery (reminders, newsletters, password resets) and any other third-party services that make features work. These often charge per use or per month.
• Security and reliability — SSL certificates, backups, and monitoring so your data and the cards stay safe and the site stays up.

When you donate, you're not buying a subscription—you're helping keep a free tool alive for everyone.

• You keep it free for everyone — No one has to pay to create or view a card. Your contribution helps make that possible.
• No ads on cards — We refuse to put ads on the cards people view. Donations help us keep that promise.
• You help people celebrate — Every card made here helps someone say "happy birthday" in a personal way. Your support is part of that.
• Any amount helps — One-time or recurring, a few dollars or more—it all goes to server, domain, and API costs. Thank you for considering it.
