Choose a layout

Open Kards in the header, click the Kard, then go to Settings → Layout — "Choose how this Kard's public page looks." Pick a look and press "Save layout". The flash confirms "Kard layout updated successfully", and saving refreshes the cached copy of your public page, so the new look shows up promptly.

The seven looks

All seven are free, on every plan — the four named looks are the ones the eKard home page calls its voices. In the order the picker lists them:

• "Default" — dark and photo-forward: your photo full-bleed over near-black, a serif name, one orange accent.
• "Links" — a light link-in-bio list: pastel gradient, round photo, a white button for each channel and link.
• "Restaurant" — a velvet menu cover in deep green, cream and brass that sets your uploaded documents as the menus — see the course on menus for restaurants.
• "Letterhead — engraved & formal" — ivory paper, near-black ink, a hairline frame and a red seal.
• "Jharokha — heritage gold & ink" — deep red ink and zari gold, your photo in a carved-arch frame.
• "Mohur — midnight foil" — a pale pressed card in a near-black velvet box; the gold foil shifts as the phone tilts.
• "Yantra — machined instrument" — a warm-black casing with keycaps that press, engraved mono labels and one saffron pay key.

New Kards start on Letterhead

A new Kard starts on Letterhead, and so does a new team, whose Kards wear its look. Kards made before keep the look they have: nothing is switched for you. Under the picker, "See your card in every design →" opens the fitting room, where every look is drawn with your own details; "Use this layout" under one switches your page to it, after asking.

If your own Kard still wears Default, opening it from your Kards list shows a note, "New designs: try yours on": "Your Kard wears the 2024 design. New Kards start on Letterhead now, one of 4 new designs." "Open the fitting room" goes there, and "Hide this note" puts it away. Either one ends the note for good, and nothing changes on your public page until you pick a look. Team Kards don't get the note, since a team's admins choose its look.

Same data, different clothes

A layout changes nothing you have entered. Links, documents, contacts, payment details, About — everything stays; each look only re-dresses it. Your documents, for instance, appear as "Menus" on Restaurant, an "Index" on Letterhead and "Enclosures" on Mohur. Your link and QR do not change either, so you can switch looks any time without breaking anything you have printed or shared.

Preview a look on the live card

Add ?layout=<name> to your card's URL — say ekard.app/k3fp9?layout=mohur — and that visit renders in the requested look. The names are default, links, restaurant, letterhead, jharokha, mohur and yantra; anything else is ignored. On a personal card this works for anyone who has the link, which makes it a preview you can send — the same card in two looks, compared before you save either. (Team cards ignore the parameter unless the team has switched it on.)

When the picker steps aside

Two rows of small print. A published custom design — a page you write in your own HTML — replaces the built-in looks entirely; while one is live, Settings notes that the layout picker is ignored. That path is covered in the course on designing your own page. And on a team's card, the dropdown's blank row reads "Use the team's default": save it and the card follows the layout your team has set, until you pick one of your own. See the course on team branding and links.
