With dozens of free postcard systems available on the internet, and several commercial postcard systems and services, why create another one?

Because the Webmaster for Chef Emeril Lagasse asked us to.

Professional Everything About iX Cards is Professional. It's designed from the ground up to be integrated into your web site -- not just the look and feel, but the traffic model, too. Thousands of hits a day? No Problem. The WebObjects foundation of iX Cards guarantees that your postcard system can scale. And it's proven on Emerils.com, a high-profile, high-traffic site. (Emeril's on FoodTV every day!). Robust And Scalable iX Cards Professional comes with a turnkey edition of FrontBase, the scalable, robust SQL data engine. If your enterprise already has a standard database, it's likely that iX Cards can use it.

Modern web sites need modern tools

Emerils.com wanted a postcard system that was perfectly integrated into their advanced web site--Flash navigation and the whole enchilada. Emerils.com worked hard to cook up a high quality web site, including advanced technology like an active navigation system based on Flash. Naturally they wanted a professional, world-class web postcard system, scalable, robust, easy to use and easy to maintain--not one that looked like an afterthought.

No such thing as Free Lunch?

The free postcard servers had scalability problems and suffered varying degrees of interface design issues (OK, most were downright clunky). The commercial systems lacked key features or had tasteless interface elements hard-wired into the product.

A novel idea

Working closely with Emerils.com, illumineX designed and implemented a world class web postcard server. Brand-conscious global enterprises spend months developing custom applications like iX Cards Professional, to build traffic to their site, re-enforce brand recognition, and stealthily market their products. Now, with iX Cards Professional your site can have a world-class web postcard system at a fraction of what others have spent.

The only other web postcard system built on the industry leading WebObjects technology isn't for sale at any price.
