The first step in creating a new business card is to use the Design Wizard to select the a layout.
Initially the standard (both US and metric) options are available but you can choose from the entire list
of layouts by selecting the advanced option. This allows you to choose from a wide variety of paper stock,
including photo quality business cards, cd business cards, folded business cards and a lot more.
|
 
|
After selecting a layout in the Design Wizard you can choose a pre-designed business card from a list of specific-use
categories or choose to start with a blank card. Either way, you can fully customize your business card by adding
or removing the background, shapes, graphics and text after the Design Wizard is finished. You have complete control
over what appears in your business card and where it appears. Templates are meant as a starting point that can
be further customized or used as is.
|
 
|
One of the great features of the Design Wizard is the ability to specify your personal information
(name, title, address, phone, etc.) even before the business card is created. You can enter this
information directly or select a contact from the Names and Addresses database that is built into the
software. You can also specify a background for the card, the font to use and a logo for templates
that include logos. All of this and more can be done after the Design Wizard is finished as well.
|
 
|
The Layout screen allows you to adjust the layout of your design. The layout includes the number of rows and columns,
the space between rows and columns, page margins and other options. Adjustments made on this screen allow you to correct
aligment issues on the printer and use custom/proprietary paper stock that is not listed in the software.
|
 
|
The Pick Picture screen (Select Picture tab) allows you to select a graphic image for use in your business card. You can select images
from anywhere on your computer or scan them in using a scanner or digital camera. Just about any image
you have access to can be used. You are not limited to just the images included with the software.
|
 
|
The Pick Picture screen (Apply Effects tab) allows you to apply effects to an image you have selected. Effects include cropping,
mirroring, rotating, brightness control, contrast adjustment and more.
|
 
 
|
The Background screen allows you to select an existing background, customize the selected background or create
your own background. Backgrounds consist of either a picture, a gradient fill, a solid color or a combination
of each. You can even add backgrounds that you design to a custom list so they can easily be used in designs
you create in the future.
|
 
|
The Print screen is displayed when you choose to print your business cards. It allows you to specify the number
of cards to print, the starting position on the first sheet and the sides to print (front and/or back). You can also
choose to print crop and/or corner marks for assitance in cutting the business cards out yourself instead of using
pre-perforated paper stock.
|
 
|
The Print screen also offer a way to graphically select which cards on a single sheet you want to print.
Using this option is a great way to save partially used paper stock. You simply check the cards you want
to be printed.
|
 
|
The Personal Databases are a set of databases that allow you to store contact information and text snipets for easy re-use.
For example, you can keep the names, titles, phone numbers, etc. of employees in the Names and Addresses database then easily
select an employee to fill in the business card information when creating a card for that employee. Multiple categories allow
you to organize you data the way you want and user-definable fields let you store extra information that does not correspond
to any of the pre-defined fields.
|
 
|
Sometimes it is more practical to have your business card printed professionally by a local or online print shop.
The Save As Graphic screen allows you to save a high resolution snapshot of the card as a standard graphic file that
can be sent to the print shop for professional printing. You have control over the resolution and format of the
graphic so it easy to provide the print shop exactly what they need to print your business cards.

Here's what others are saying...
Business Card Designer Plus is the best business card design program I have seen, and I have seen lots. - Joe Tex, SharewareJunkies.com You have been the most helpful support for a system I have ever had, thank you very much Chris, You just saved my neck. If you are ever going to Spain just tell me. I love how easy the software is to use! I have tried many other business card programs and nothing compares to yours. With the Excellent Customer Service that goes with a really easy to use program you can be sure I will be upgrading soon. The Design Wizard is a great place to start when creating a new business card. It's simple, easy and I can have a card up and running in 2 minutes! With 50 employees it's a godsend. I have many employees that I create business cards for and the Personal Database and Save as Template are the best features. It saves so much time when I need to make new
business card. I absolutely love the new shapes and gradient fills. I upgraded my version even though I bought it last year. Keep up the good work! I downloaded several business card programs and either they were too simple or too difficult to use. Yours was just the right fit for us. You had all the features we were looking for and it was very easy to use. How can you sell such and awesome piece of software for so cheap? I recommend it to everyone I know! I was amazed to see a reply to my support question in my Inbox an hour after I sent it. Usually it takes 1 - 2 days to get a reply. You guys are great! I loved the fact that your software has a trial version and then when I bought it I almost immediately got my Registration ID and didn't have to re-download a different version. I was very impressed that you took the time to help me fix my graphic problems with my business card, for FREE. Not many companies take the time anymore to help out their end users. Kudos to you! I like to create a wild business card and love the new text tools you added! I was pleased to see the new version released. I have been using your products for many years and have come to trust them. Unlike other companies you are constantly updating your software so I know will will be able to use them with the latest versions of Windows today, and in the future. Great Job. The texture and gradient fill support for text lets me print some really cool looking text. I have not been able to find this in any other business card software. I am very impressed with the graphics support in your Business Card Designer Plus product. I was able to include some very complex images with no problems at all. And with support for so many of the popular formats I did not have to convert any of my images. Keep up the good work. I use Business Card Designer Plus to create business cards for my staff. I love the product because it saves me a fortune in print shop costs. I can make
a business card for everyone and print as many (or as few) as I need. The Design Wizard is a work of genius! I've created a template that I base each employees card on. To create a card for a new employee I simply choose the template, enter the employee's information (BTW the database of users is another great feature) and click Finish. It could not be easier. Simply the best business card program available!
