Begin by navigating to the Wix Business Card Maker platform. Browse through the range of professional business card designs available and select a template that best represents your business style and industry. You can preview templates in a larger popup window to get a more detailed view of each design before making your selection.

When choosing a template, remember that this isn't your final design—you'll be able to customize every element later. If you're working with an existing brand in Wix, you can also access the Business Card Maker through your Brand Studio by selecting the relevant brand and scrolling to the "Design a branded business card" section.

Step 2: Add your business information

After selecting your template, it's time to add your essential business details. Include your name, business name, job title, phone number, email address, website, and any other relevant contact information that potential clients might need to reach you.

This information forms the foundation of your business card, so ensure all details are accurate and up-to-date. You can add more details later during the customization process, but establishing these core elements first will help you visualize how your card is taking shape.

Step 3: Customize your business card design

Now comes the creative part - customizing your business card to align with your brand identity. Click on any element of your template to edit it. For text elements, you can modify the content, change fonts, adjust sizes, and alter colors. You can also customize shapes, vector art, images, and the background of your card.

To work on both sides of your card, use the "Switch to Front" or "Switch to Back" options. You can reposition elements by dragging and dropping them, and arrange any overlapping elements using the toolbar that appears when clicking on an element. For a cohesive look, consider using your brand's color palette, fonts, and logo throughout the design.

Step 4: Refine your design elements

Take time to perfect the visual aspects of your business card. You can customize the color palette to match your brand, add symbols that represent your business, incorporate shapes for visual interest, and upload images such as your logo or professional photo.

For more efficient editing, you can select and group all elements on your card by pressing Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on Mac) and move them around the canvas together. This helps maintain the relationship between different design elements while adjusting their position. Remember that a clean, uncluttered design often makes a stronger professional impression than one with too many elements.

Step 5: Choose your paper type and quantity

After finalizing your design, click “Done” in the top right corner to proceed to selecting your paper specifications. From the dropdown menu, choose your preferred paper type, considering both thickness and finish. Options typically range from standard to premium papers with matte or glossy finishes.

Next, select the quantity of cards you want to order - usually available in packs of 100, 250, or 500. Consider your networking frequency and how quickly you tend to distribute cards when deciding on quantity. Once you've made your selections, click "Add to Cart" to proceed to checkout.

Step 6: Complete your order and track delivery
