The Birthday card is a single, self-contained index.html file — everything it needs (styles, animations, and content) lives inside that one file. Because there is no build step, no package manager, and no external dependencies, you can deploy it to any static hosting platform in minutes and get a shareable public URL without spending a cent.

​
GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages serves static files directly from a repository branch. It’s free for public repos and requires zero configuration beyond a settings toggle.
1

Push the repo to GitHub

Create a new repository on GitHub (or fork the existing one at https://github.com/erickcruzmision-heart/birthday), then push your index.html to the main branch.
git init
git add index.html
git commit -m "Add birthday card"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>.git
git push -u origin main
2

Enable GitHub Pages

In your repository, go to Settings → Pages. Under Source, choose Deploy from a branch, select the main branch, and set the folder to / (root). Click Save.
3

Open your live URL

After a few seconds, GitHub will publish the card at:
https://<your-username>.github.io/<repo-name>/
Copy that URL and share it with the birthday person!

​
Netlify

Netlify’s drag-and-drop interface is the fastest path to a live URL — no account setup required beyond signing in.
1

Sign in to Netlify

Go to netlify.com and sign in with GitHub, GitLab, or an email address.
2

Drag and drop your folder

On the Netlify dashboard, scroll to the “Deploy manually” drop zone at the bottom of the page. Drag the folder that contains index.html onto that area and release.
3

Get your live URL

Netlify deploys the file instantly and generates a unique URL such as https://quirky-name-123456.netlify.app. You can rename the subdomain in Site settings → General → Site details to something more personal.

​
Vercel

Vercel works from the command line and needs no framework configuration for a plain HTML file.
1

Install the Vercel CLI

npm i -g vercel
2

Deploy from the project directory

Navigate to the folder that contains index.html and run:
vercel
3

Follow the prompts

Vercel will ask a few questions (project name, scope). When prompted to select a framework preset, choose Other or simply press Enter to skip — no preset is needed for a single HTML file. Vercel prints the live URL when the deployment finishes.
If you only want to share the card with one person, you can skip hosting entirely and just email index.html as an attachment. The recipient double-clicks the file and it opens directly in their browser — animations and all.
The Birthday card has no external asset dependencies — no CDN fonts, no remote images, and no JavaScript libraries. Every style and animation is inlined in the HTML file, so the page loads instantly even on a slow mobile connection.
