The Card Is Only the Visible Half: Here Is the Management Behind It
Most comparisons of digital cards look at the side the customer sees: the design, the buttons, the speed. But the real difference between a card that works and a card that is forgotten sits on YOUR side, after publishing: how easy it is to update, what happens to incoming enquiries, and what you know about who opened it. This is a tour of that side, as it works with us today.
An editor that looks like the card itself
Editing happens against a live preview of the card: what you change is shown immediately, in the same order the customer will see it. Change a phone number, swap a gallery photo, update opening hours: everything is saved as a draft and goes live only when you choose to publish. There is no file to reprint and no supplier to wait for.
A wording assistant, not an automatic writer
On the longer text fields, such as the about section and service descriptions, there is an improve-the-wording button. It works only when you ask, shows its suggestion beside your own text, and changes nothing until you accept. More important is what it does not do: it only rewrites. It does not add prices, years of experience or promises you never wrote, because a fact that did not come from you does not belong on your card.
Enquiries that do not get lost
When someone leaves their details on the card, the enquiry is stored in an organised leads inbox: name, phone, message, and when it happened. You can set a status, add an internal note, and delete when you are done. It is a mini-CRM that comes with the card, with no extra system and no digging through message threads.
Knowing what works, in numbers
Every card has its own analytics: how many views, which actions were tapped, and where visitors came from. That is how you know whether the QR on the counter is actually scanned and whether the link in your email signature brings visits, instead of guessing.
Control: publish, unpublish, even hide from Google
The card goes up and comes down with one action: draft while you work on it, published when it is ready, archived when it should come down. And anyone who prefers their card not to appear in search results, for example professionals who guard their privacy, can mark that in the card settings: the link keeps working normally, and the card is simply left out of search engine indexing.
And when there is a whole team?
A business with employees manages every card from one account: one brand template, employee import from a file, and publishing or switching off in bulk. The full detail is on the for companies page, and every card can also connect to a physical NFC card.

Create a cardFrequently asked questions
Can I edit the card after it is published?
Yes, at any moment. Changes are saved as a draft and go live when you approve them, and anyone opening the link immediately sees the current version.
What happens to enquiries left on the card?
Every enquiry is stored in the card's leads inbox with the name, phone and message. You can set a status, add notes and delete, all from the dashboard.
Can the AI change my card without me knowing?
No. The wording assistant works only on an explicit tap, shows its suggestion beside your text, and saves nothing until you choose to replace. It also never adds facts you did not write.
