Embrace simplicity with business card WordPress themes

Have you ever needed a website, whether for yourself or someone else, simply to communicate simple contact information, and perhaps a simple about paragraph? In those cases, a blog theme just wouldn’t really fit—then it’s overkill. Instead, something typically called a “business card” theme might be a better fit.

I have a few friends who, being professionals learning the internet ropes (so to speak) for the first time, really need a solid presence online. These days, having a Facebook and a Twitter account is nice but doesn’t really work as a solid anchor for an online identity. So I’ve given myself the task of helping these friends get simple, effective sites online using WordPress, and a business card theme.

What makes a business card theme?

Rather, what makes a business card? There’s really no solid answer to this one. Business cards come in all shapes, sizes, and designs, but in the end the one thread that ties them all together is they communicate necessary information, in a concise package. A business card theme is no different.

With only contact information and the briefest of information, anyone can populate a business card theme and be good to go. While you can’t use any of these themes to get started blogging, the hope is that someone using one of these themes might become more comfortable with WordPress, with having a real presence online, and eventually start up a proper blog themselves.

Before we get into the list of recommended business card themes, let’s get into the proper mindset with the king of business cards himself. Is your card die cut?
