Take A Tour Of Quillcards

Quillcards is a membership-based service, and you must be a member to access the majority of our services.

We charge a yearly membership fee because we produce all our own images that are unique to Quillcards - and because our service includes benefits such as tracking your ecards to their destination.

You can find details of our membership pricing, here.

Non-members can access our free 'Ethical Causes' ecards and send ecards that feature images and information about worthwhile causes that we support.

Some Of The Advanced Features Of Quillcards

  1. Send your cards immediately or schedule them to be sent later. You can schedule your ecards to be sent up to a month later, if you wish.
  2. Whenever you send an ecard, you are automatically notified by email when your card is viewed by the recipient;
  3. You can send an ecard to up to five recipients at one time. If you send an ecard to more than one recipient, you will receive a separate notification by email for each recipient to tell you when they view your ecard.
  4. A copy of all your ecards and the images you used in the cards is stored in your own My Quillcards folder where you can read and re-read what you wrote in any of the ecards you sent in the past year;
  5. You can write up to the equivalent of two typewritten sheets of text in your messages, if you wish;
  6. You can use Markdown markup language in your messages to make your text bold, italic, a larger font, etc;
  7. When you send a card to a new recipient, check off the name and from then on you can address your ecards to that person with one click;
  8. You can import your contacts from Yahoo, Gmail, MSN, etc;
  9. You can store your favorite images and choose any of them and import it to the Compose screen with one click;
  10. You can store your special dates in a list and in a calendar;
  11. You can also set up email alerts for birthdays & anniversaries;
  12. As a member, you will enjoy automatic discounts off our other products.
  13. Finally - there is one thing that you will not see in our ecards, and that is advertisements.

Logging In

When you log in as a member, the Join button disappears and a My Quillcards button appears in its place below the logo.

Clicking this button gives you access to your favorite images, the important dates you have stored, the ecards you have sent and those you have scheduled to send, your contacts, and your profile - as well as the log-out button.

Using Mix And Match

We work on the principle of 'Mix And Match', which means you can choose any image from any category and pair it with any of our greetings and colored backgrounds to make the card you want.

That way you are not hemmed in to choosing a 'Birthday' card - because we don't have a 'Birthday' category.

We do have some categories for the traditional festivals but, for example, you can choose an image from our Valentine's Day category - or you might want to choose an image with a quotation from the Romantic Love category in the Quotations World theme.

You might also want to choose an image of a flower from the Flowers category in the Natural World theme.

It's up to you - your choice, your freedom.

Browsing The Ecards

You can access the ecard images at any time by browsing the themes in the sidebar.

You can also browse the thumbnail images on the homepage. Each image on the homepage is a key image from the different categories, and clicking a key image will open up all the ecard images in a category.

The categories are simple to browse - with names like Trees, Inspiration, and English Cottages - to name just three of the forty categories.

Once you find an image you like, just click on the thumbnail and check the large size version.

Composing Your Ecard

Clicking Send This Ecard will take you to the Compose page where you can choose a greeting, choose a suitable background color that appeals to you, and write your message.

Writing Your Message

You can, of course, write a short message or a long message. It is up to you.

However, the message box expands as you type and you can write up to the equivalent of two typed pages of text, if you wish.

Then it is just a question of adding the details of your recipient. If you have already added their details to your Contacts, you can simply click to add their details from the drop-down list.

Sending To Multiple Recipients

As you can see from the image above, the Compose page enables you to send a card to up to five people at one time if you wish.

Enjoying Our Technology

We use straightforward HTML technology and we do not use Flash™. Therefore you can send and receive our ecards on any computer, any smart phone, and any tablet - including the iPhone and the iPad.
