Endless Possibilities

The images below is designed for explanation purposes. The aim of these images is to help you visualise the customisation options available to you. Each design is showcasing different colours and “footer” ideas. Before we get too technical, lets talk about your colour options. We don’t have set colours to choose from – we can match your brand colours (or any colour of your choice).

3 Default Content Areas

The basic structure

At DBCX, each digital business card have 3 default content areas.
We labeled them as: Header, Contact, and Footer – Area(s) or Section(s).
Everything in these sections are editable, optional and completely customisable. 

(1) Header Area

The "Header Area" usually contain 4 elements (Background Image, Logo, Photo, Full Name +Title).

(2) Contact Area

The "Contact Area" usually contain 6 elements (clickable buttons) for instant actions like: Click-2-Call (phone) , Click-2-Chat (WhatsApp), Email, Website (URL), Save to Contacts (VCF), and QR Code. We will explain the last 2 at a later stage. You can add or remove and even change things around, elements in this section is 100% optional and completely customisable. Round buttons, square buttons, etc.

(3) Footer Area

The "Footer Area" usually contain extra things like: Campaign Banner, Social Media Links, Slogans, a clickable link to download a PDF document, or whatever you might need.

Special request

These are ideas and suggestions, not requirements. You can add, remove, or mix-&-match any of these elements. You can even provide a pre-designed idea / concept for us to match.

Extended Content

All extended content (as per the Extended and Pro package) will be placed below the Footer Area (Section 3): Photo Galleries, Products, Services, etc.

Since we do not offer a one-size-fit-all pre-design template layout, it is difficult to provide an editing function in line with each and every possible layout of custom designed cards. While self-editing may not be available at the moment, our team will work closely with you to ensure that any changes you request are implemented accurately. DBCX is actively engaged in research, development, and testing of multiple self-editing options and solutions. Throughout this process, our primary focus remains on upholding the utmost standards of accuracy and security. We are dedicated to exploring innovative ways to empower our clients with the ability to make edits themselves. While there are various solution providers offering the self-editing option, none of them offer custom designed cards with structural layout flexibility. We also have to ask ourselves, how frequently does individuals or companies change their phone numbers or company logos? Even if changes are not that frequent, it is still important to have a process in place to update business cards when necessary. Change Request Form

Our digital business cards operate on a subscription or yearly fee model for several reasons:

  1. Ongoing Maintenance and Updates: Digital business card platforms require regular maintenance and updates to ensure they are compatible with the latest devices, operating systems, and security standards. The subscription fees help cover the costs associated with these continuous improvements and provide ongoing support to users.
  2. Server and Infrastructure Costs: Hosting and maintaining the infrastructure necessary to store and deliver digital business cards can be resource-intensive. Subscription fees contribute to the expenses of running servers, bandwidth, data storage, and other technical requirements.
  3. Feature Enhancements and Development: Digital business card providers invest in the development of new features and functionalities to enhance the user experience. Subscription fees support ongoing research, development, and innovation efforts to offer users the latest tools and capabilities.
  4. Customer Support and Assistance: Subscription-based models often include access to customer support services. This ensures that users can receive assistance, resolve issues, and receive timely responses to their inquiries.
  5. Sustainable Business Model: Subscription fees provide a sustainable revenue stream for digital business card platforms, enabling them to continue offering their services, maintain quality standards, and invest in future improvements.

A fixed “reusable” QR code refers to a QR code that remains constant (do not change) and can be used repeatedly for various purposes. With a DBCX reusable QR code, users can scan the code and access the digital business card of the person or business associated with it. The digital business card typically contains contact information, links to social media profiles, company details, and other relevant information. While the fixed/reusable QR code never changes, the information displayed on the digital business card can be updated or changed without the need for a new QR Code. This approach offers convenience, as the same QR code can be shared across various mediums such as email signatures, websites, advertising and marketing material, or other physical materials.
