Creation of a CD Card is done in phases. The first phase is the Design Phase. Once we have some information from you, such as an outline of content, text copy, a logo and any other images you would like to include, we then create a look for the CD Card interface. Once the look is approved, the Development Phase starts and during this phase the actual set up and programming is done for the CD Card and a prototype is created for review. Once the prototype is tweaked to your liking and approved, the Finalization/Testing Phase begins. In addition to testing, any artwork for the CD Card's labels and/or sleeves will be created at this point. Once this is complete, the final files will be sent to the vendor that does the output of the CD Cards. The total process takes several weeks.

There are several costs involved with creating a CD-Card for your business. These include CD-Card content design and development and programming, creative design of label plus sleeve and/or mailer if needed as well as output/replication charges. To estimate the price, we ask that you email us a description of your content and ideas. This will give us an idea as to the type of CD Card you want. We will then send you an estimate of cost and will discuss other options if need be.

E-Cards: E-Cards are similar to CD Cards except you attach them to your email messages or simply provide a link. Like CD Cards, you can include various multimedia content. However, since you will be sending them out as email attachments or links, some file size restrictions apply. A typical E-Card starts off with an intro animation and background music playing and has graphic interface with a menu of links to web pages, displays information on various pages, audio clips, downloadable documents and the like.And when compared to CD Cards...an additional benefit is that they cost much less since they are less complex to create and no output/replication and packagng fees apply.

E-Albums: E-Albums as the name suggests are digital multimedia albums which generally display photos and information and can include narration, video, music
and more. Their uses include to share memories, show portfolio samples, artwork for sale, and more. Each page flip is animated. Background music plays. Albums can include a clickable table of contents, index, and thumbnails to large view. The possibilities for looks of these albums is endless. Photos are placed on pages with decorative frames. Digital albums can be screen savers, standalone desktop applications or distributed on DVD/CD-ROM, by E-Mail or Web. E-Albums can be simple like such as those for wedding and other special occasions...or real complex works with videos and animation.
