From Paper to Platform: Reinventing Business Cards for the Digital Age
Digital Business Card Platform · Professional Networking · Scalable & Responsive
We helped transform outdated networking into a sleek digital experience – a scalable web app that empowers professionals to create and share smart business cards, anywhere.
The Challenge
Traditional business cards are becoming less relevant in our increasingly digital world. Our client needed a solution that could preserve the personal connection of exchanging contact information while leveraging modern technology. The platform needed to support multiple professional profiles per user, integrate with physical NFC cards, and provide a seamless sharing experience across devices.

The solution includes a web application for profile management and a mobile-responsive design that ensures recipients can access shared information regardless of device.
