In the screenshots, you can see two digital business cards. And below you can read how to make one of them in 10 minutes.

When you create a digital business card, make sure that you provide:

02. All the contact options:

Then, users can choose a convenient option.

03. A save contact button. Clients only need to tap once, and the Contacts app is opened on their phones with the fields filled in. One more tap — and your contact info is saved.

04. Offline addresses. You can add a map near the list of addresses to make it easier for users to navigate. Also, you can link to map apps so that users can create a route.

It's time to move from words to actions. Follow the instructions below to create a digital business card which will be a website.

You can create a digital business card in a web builder. Use templates if you want to do it quickly. If you want a card that is unique, create it from scratch.

As an example, we show how to create an electronic business card on Taplink. This is a tool that allows you to do everything that was mentioned above for sure.

Choose a template that looks like the digital business card that you need. Don't worry if none of them is 100% what you need. Below we explain how to edit them.

First of all, you need to sign up.

After signing up, you are taken to a page with templates where you need to:

01. Choose a page type: go for Bio link to create a business card with one photo and same-looking buttons, or go for Lite website to create a business card with different buttons, photos, maps, and much more.

02. Choose a category relevant to your niche or About me.

03. Choose one of the templates. If you want to use the template we show in this guide, tap the link.

04. Tap Choose.

Now you need to remove the default information and add yours.

The next thing you need to create a digital business card is to specify your information. The templates have default information. These can be messaging app and social network profiles, phone numbers, emails, addresses, etc. You need to replace them with your actual info. You can also add more details and remove them.

You can see exclamation marks when you create your digital business card. They indicate elements that require editing.

Edit elements on your digital business card:

01. Tap a block.

02. Optionally, edit the link text. You can write not just "Call", but "Call me" or "Tap to call".

03. Optionally, add additional link text. It will be a small text under the main one. For example, it can tell the time when you answer calls.

04. Optionally, change the action that happens when a user taps the link. Select one of the options on the Action list. In the second screenshot, you can see all possible actions.

05. Enter your info in the field. The field may differ depending on what you chose on the Action list.

06. Tap Save changes.

Edit the rest of the blocks in the same way.

If the template you've chosen to create a digital business card doesn't have what you need, just add it. There are 18 blocks that you can use for it:

All blocks are added the same way. You can find detailed instructions for each of the blocks here. We will show an example with the Map block:

01. Tap Add block.

02. Select a block. In our case, it is Map.

03. Fill in the fields, they depend on the block you are adding. For example, you need to specify an address when you add a map.

04. Then you need to tap Add marker if you are adding a map. Repeat steps 3—4 if you want to add one more address.

05. Tap Save changes.

That's it, a new element has been added to the digital business card. In the screenshot below, you can see what it looks like.

You may need to delete page elements when you are creating a digital business card. This is how you can do it:
