What are Templates?

A template is a pre-designed format or layout that can be used as a starting point for creating a document, webpage, or other types of content. Templates often include placeholders for specific information, such as text, images, or data. They can be customized to fit the needs of the user. In the context of digital business cards, a template may include a card's layout, design, and branding elements, as well as placeholders for contact information and other details specific to the individual team member. Templates can save time and ensure consistency in the appearance of your cards.

In Social Card, templates are the starting point for all your cards. Cards can not be created without an active template.

Every workspace has at least one template, and teams on our business plan can create unlimited templates. Multiple templates are excellent when you have numerous brand identities or are preparing for a special event like conferences.
