Make your first Kard
One screen: your name, what you do, a number, an email and a photo. Everything else can wait.
Your Kard begins on the Kards list at /kards: press "New Kard" — a brand-new account also shows a "Create a Kard" button on its empty state. Your first Kard opens on one short screen, headed "Make your Kard"; a second one opens the whole form, headed "Create your Kard".
What a Kard does for your kind of work, with one made for it, is on a page of its own: yoga and meditation, salons and spas, shops and stores, lawyers and advocates, charities and trusts, consultants and advisers, doctors and clinics, freelancers, and home services.
Your first Kard fits on one screen
Your first Kard asks for what a card needs, all on one phone screen: your name; your job title and company; one phone number, with "Same number on WhatsApp" ticked (untick it to give another WhatsApp number); your email; and a photo. "Take a photo" opens your phone's front camera, "Choose one" your photos, and the photo shows in its circle at once. "Make my Kard" stays pinned at the bottom of the screen.
Everything else, the other ways to reach you, your address, pay buttons, Review us on Google, links and About, is under "Add more now", one tap away. Or leave it for later: once the Kard exists, its checklist brings you back to each.
One field is required
The form offers plenty — tagline, photo, contact channels, links — but only Name is required, between 4 and 100 characters. Fill in what you have: everything can be changed later.
Your first Kard starts with your account's name, if it has one, and its email address. If you typed your name into the try-on field on the eKard homepage, that is waiting there instead; and if you just sent your details from someone's Kard, the form starts with them, as the course on the exchange explains.
Already have a business card? The panel at the top of the page (on your first Kard, "Have a paper card?" opens it) reads a photo of your paper card or a contact file and fills in the form for you to check: Start from a paper card or a contact file.
Names shorter than 4 characters are rejected — "Name is too short (minimum is 4 characters)". A two- or three-letter brand name will not pass as typed.
Press Make my Kard
Press "Make my Kard" (on a second Kard, "Create Kard") and the card exists. You land on its owner view with a congratulations notice, and a welcome email arrives carrying the card's details — the share link, the QR attached as a PNG, and a "Download the QR" link. It starts on the Letterhead look, ivory paper and a red seal; six others are a click away (Choose a layout).
Your link is already working
Every new Kard is assigned a random five-character link — letters and digits, something like ekard.app/k3fp9 — and the public page is live there from the moment the card is created. The code is not yours to choose; named links are a separate matter, covered in the course on your link and your name.
Change anything later
Nothing on the form is engraved. "Edit Kard" on the owner view reopens it — headed "Edit your Kard" — and "Update Kard" saves your changes. Name, photo, channels, links: every field stays editable for the life of the card. The owner view around it, tab by tab, is the course on finding your way around, and the six first steps it suggests for a new Kard are in Get your Kard seen.
