How to Create a Digital Business Card (In 4 Steps)

In this blog I'm going to show you how to create a digital business card. Plus, sharing your digital business card is super simple whether you're at an event or just connecting online.

Creating a digital business card isn’t rocket science. You’ll have your card ready in minutes, and here’s how to do it:

STEP 1: Create a Wave account

Head over to our website and sign up for an account. The great thing is, it’s super fast, and within two minutes, you’ll be good to go. We offer a free digital business card version, but trust me, the premium features are worth it if you want to really impress.

STEP 2: Add your contact details

Once you’re in, start adding the essentials: your name, job title, contact details, and social media links. Want to stand out? Throw in a quick bio and a high-quality headshot. You can also share your website links, portfolio, or any other relevant links. Think of it like your digital handshake.

STEP 3: Design your profile

You can easily customize the card with your brand’s fonts, colors, and logos. Want to go beyond templates? We offer a drag-and-drop editor that lets you get creative and truly make the card yours.

STEP 4: Share your profile with others

Now that your card looks great, it’s time to start sharing. Generate a QR code for easy scanning, embed it in your email signature, or send it through messaging apps like WhatsApp. Sharing is limitless, so you can share it as many times as you like.
