every birthday site wears a theme: the paper, the type, the nav, the scrollbar, even what the buttons are called. ten are ready, and one is free.

the demo site's front page in Sticker Saga: a torn kraft strip of colour stickers for a nav with home starred, SAMLAND as a big pink die-cut sticker with a sparkle, a stack of taped photos and four blob friends

what never changes.

a look is how the site is dressed, never what's in it.

  • every friend's card: the note, the doodles, the photos and the clip.
  • the island, the cake, the board and all 12 festival games.
  • the card maker friends use: no account, about two minutes.
  • phones and reduced motion: every look fits a small screen, keeps its words readable and holds still when the device asks.
