A business card doesn't need to look homemade just because you didn't hire a designer. The difference between a card that looks professional and one that doesn't usually comes down to a handful of small choices. Here they are, in order.
1. Start from a real template, not a blank page
Wish Cards has five business card layouts to choose from: Classic, Minimal, Sidebar, Centered Badge, and Bold Header. Each one lays out your name, title, and contact details differently, so it's worth trying a few with your own details filled in before settling on one. What looks right depends a lot on how long your business name and job title are.
2. Add your logo, even a simple one
Every template has a spot for a logo. If you don't have one designed yet, even a clean circular monogram, your initials in a plain font on a solid color, looks far more finished than no logo at all. Upload it once and it appears correctly sized on whichever template you pick.
3. Keep the front simple
The front of a good business card usually has four things and nothing else: the business name, your name, your title, and a short tagline or one-line list of services. Resist the urge to put your phone number and email on the front too, that's what the back is for.
4. Put everything someone needs to reach you on the back
Phone, WhatsApp, email, website, and location all belong on the back, along with a slightly longer list of services if you offer more than one thing. This is also where a QR code earns its place, someone can scan it straight to your website or WhatsApp instead of retyping your number.
Making a QR code for your card
Wish Cards doesn't generate the QR code itself, you make one for free on a site like qr-code-generator.com for your phone number or website, then upload the image under "QR code" on the back. Until you add one, a sample pattern shows so you can see where it will sit.
5. Check it in more than one language if you need to
If your customers read Arabic, Kiswahili, or another supported language, switching the app's language changes the card's own labels, Phone, Email, Website, and so on, while leaving your actual name, number and email exactly as you typed them. Only the labels translate, never your business details.
