Choose a layout
Default, Links, Restaurant, Letterhead, Jharokha, Mohur, Yantra — all free, all one dropdown away.
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.
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. (Organization cards ignore the parameter unless the organization 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 an organization's card, the dropdown's blank row reads "Use organization default": save it and the card follows the layout your organization has set, until you pick one of your own.
