Birthday website or birthday card?

People search for a birthday website when they want something bigger than a text and more personal than a store-bought card. This gives you the part that matters on the day: a page made only for them, with an opening they interact with, your photo and your words.

What it doesn't do: many pages, a photo gallery, messages from a group of friends, or a custom web address. For a group, each friend can send their own link.

What to put on the page

One photo from this year, one memory, and one wish for the year ahead. That is three sentences, and it reads better on a phone than a long paragraph.

Stuck on the words? Borrow a line from the message guides and make it yours.

Questions

Is this a real website?

It is a single private web page at its own address, made for one person's birthday. It is not a multi-page site builder: there is no custom domain, no guest book for many people and no editing after you create it.

Who can see the birthday page?

Only people with the link. It is not listed anywhere or indexed by search engines, and you can delete it early from your private manage link.

Can the page open exactly at midnight?

Yes. Seal it until a date and time under Other options and the link shows a countdown until then. The time uses your own clock, so convert if they live in another time zone.

Can I add music or my voice?

Yes. Paste a link to a song (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music or SoundCloud) and they get a “Play our song” button, record a voice message of up to 60 seconds, or choose the music box opening, where a melody plays. Video can't be added.

Do I need to code or sign up?

No. You fill in a message and an optional photo in the browser, and the page is created for you. Neither you nor the birthday person needs an account or an app.

How long does the birthday page stay up?

The gift and its link stay until the sender deletes it; photos and voice messages are deleted 30 days after creation, and the gift then opens without them. Opening or replaying it never uses it up. If the gift has a photo, the recipient can save the photo from the opened card.
