Define Your Brand Identity

Decide on two to three brand colors, a primary font, and the overall tone you want your card to convey.

Tip: Match your card colors to your website or LinkedIn banner for consistent branding

Choose a Template That Fits Your Industry

Browse NexaLink templates and select one that aligns with your profession, whether creative, corporate, or tech.

Tip: The minimalist templates tend to look professional across all industries

Add a Professional Headshot

Upload a high-quality photo with good lighting, a clean background, and a natural expression.

Tip: Photos with a plain or softly blurred background perform best on small screens

Curate Your Information Hierarchy

Lead with your name and title, follow with your most important contact method, then add secondary links.

Tip: Less is more. Include only the links and details people actually need to reach you

Preview on Multiple Devices

Check how your card looks on an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, and desktop browser before publishing.

Tip: Ask two or three colleagues for honest feedback on readability and visual appeal
