A digital business card has room for much more than a paper one, but more is not always better. The goal is simple: someone who opens your card should understand who you are and be able to contact you or buy from you within seconds. Here is a checklist that works for most businesses.
The essentials
- 1. A clear photo or logo. People trust a face or a recognisable brand. Use good light and a plain background.
- 2. Your name and one-line title. For example, "Interior designer for homes and cafés" says more than "Designer".
- 3. Tap-to-call and WhatsApp buttons. These are usually the most-used buttons on the page.
- 4. Email and website. Add them even if you mostly use WhatsApp — some clients prefer email.
- 5. Location with a map link. Essential for shops, clinics, salons and offices.
Things that build trust
- 6. A short about section. Two or three sentences on what you do and who you help.
- 7. Photos of real work. A small gallery of projects, products or your premises.
- 8. Social profiles you actually update. An inactive account can do more harm than good.
Things that bring in business
- 9. Products or services with prices. Even a starting price saves a lot of back-and-forth.
- 10. An enquiry form. Visitors can leave their name and message on the card, so a lead does not depend on them remembering to contact you later.
What to leave off
- Old phone numbers or emails you no longer check.
- Long paragraphs — keep text short and scannable on a phone.
- Too many links. Pick the five or six that matter most.
