Congratulate! ru - drive greetings!

November 10, we launched a new web project Pozdrav.ru ( www.pozdrive.ru ). What is the reason for launching this resource, if you don’t click anywhere in runet - the site of congratulations!

So, first of all, we want to make from the project not just a clone of any site of congratulatory topics, where every move contains the same greetings, and a project with unique - daily updated content. Not only that on many sites the same greetings, and besides, there are very few of them, and to be honest, the choice is not great.

Secondly, this site design. We wanted to move away from the standards, where there is a “dump” of references to holidays greetings at the sides, the description in the center - what kind of project is this ?, and the search for congratulations is very difficult.

Thirdly, there was a desire to make a bias for users who want to register on the site, write their congratulations or take advantage of features that will be available only to registered ones. For example, the reminder function - by selecting an interesting greeting, and clicking on the Remind icon - a greeting to go to a special section of your profile - Reminders. And the next moment - 2 days before the event (congratulation for any holiday), you will receive a message in the mailbox, reminding you that you probably wanted to congratulate someone. Also, there is the feature Favorites - where the best greetings in your opinion will be sent to a special section of your profile, and you will always have quick access to them. Of the main functions - this is a printout, send to a friend, insert into the blog. There is also a sort of congratulations by rating, alphabetical.

For any holiday there is a RSS feed. Therefore, if you are a fan of such Valentine's Day, subscribing to rss - you will be aware of all the latest earnings for this holiday.
