The best things in life are free. Now did you know you could add business cards to that list? You sure can. There are many websites that provide you with innumerable designs. All you have to do is register as a member, select the design you like and punch in the details you want on the card.

Once you do an online proofing of the text, take responsibility for any typographical errors, agree not to demand any changes on the card, and sign off by keying in your initials, or whatever else is asked for, you are ready to receive your free card. The deal usually is that the printing is free. You will, of course, have to pay for the shipping and processing of your order. You must also know that the free cards mostly come with the logo of the website that makes your cards.

If, however, you need to change this, and you do not want the website’s logo to appear on your card, or you want to change the fonts, their sizes, the colors, or replace an image with a logo, you will have to opt for the ‘customized’ business card. For this facility, websites usually charge anything in the range of $10 to $15, depending on your requirements.

While most free business cards websites work in the manner explained above, and you usually have to pay for the shipping, there are also those such as thepcmanwebsite.com, which is a web-based freeware site. This website allows you to add text by selecting your own fonts, colors, backgrounds, logos (you can even upload your own logo) and perhaps a slogan. All this, they claim, is for no cost at all. We’d advice you to exercise your better judgment and pick what suits your company best.
