Frequently Asked Questions

The master-slave system is Ivan's smart approach to digital business cards. One HTML file serves two purposes:

• Master (your version) — Full card with owner-only tools: QR code generator, send menu (text/email/tap-to-share), home screen tips, and all your contact buttons
• Slave (public version) — Clean, professional card that hides owner tools. Perfect for sharing with prospects, clients, and on social media

The slave version is triggered by adding ?share=1 to the URL. When someone opens that link, they see a polished card without any behind-the-scenes controls. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

A digital business card from Ivan's Brand Builder costs $149 as a one-time payment. This includes the master-slave card system, QR code generation, PWA support, vCard download, custom branding with your colors and logo, and your contact information, services, and portfolio.

There are no subscription fees or monthly charges — you own the card outright. Compare this to agencies charging $500 or more for similar work. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

PWA (Progressive Web App) technology lets your digital business card behave like a native app — without the app store. When someone opens your card on their phone, they can add it to their home screen so your card icon appears alongside their apps. It opens instantly in full-screen mode without a browser address bar, and basic info loads even without internet.

For iPhone: tap Share → Add to Home Screen. For Android: tap Menu → Add to Home Screen. It's the professional way to make sure your card is always one tap away. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

Sharing your digital business card is easy with multiple built-in options:

• QR Code — show it on your phone, they scan with theirs
• Text Message — send the link via SMS
• Email — send the link with a professional intro
• Tap to Share — use your phone's built-in NFC or AirDrop
• Social Media — post the link on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram
• Print — add the QR code to physical materials

The master card includes a send menu with all these options. The slave card is what recipients see — clean, professional, and ready to save to their contacts. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

A QR code is a scannable barcode that makes sharing your digital business card effortless. Every Ivan's Brand Builder card includes a QR code that generates instantly on demand. Anyone with a phone camera can scan it and instantly view your card.

You can print the QR code anywhere — business cards, flyers, signs, tables, vehicles. The QR code links to your slave (public) card, so people see the clean professional version. It's perfect for networking events, trade shows, or leaving at local businesses. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

The vCard download feature lets anyone save your contact information directly to their phone with one tap. A vCard is a standard digital contact file format that works on iPhone, Android, and all major contact apps.

When someone taps the Save to Contacts button on your digital business card, their phone downloads your vCard and prompts them to add you to their contacts. Your name, phone number, email, website, and photo are all included automatically. This eliminates the need for them to manually type your info, reducing errors and ensuring they can always reach you. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

The master card is your full version with owner-only tools including QR code generator, send menu with text/email/tap-to-share options, home screen tips for iPhone and Android, and all contact buttons.

The slave card is the clean public version that hides all owner tools. It shows only your professional information — photo, name, title, services, portfolio, contact buttons, and vCard download. The slave version is triggered by adding ?share=1 to the URL. When you share your card, you share the slave link so people see the polished professional version without any behind-the-scenes controls. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

No technical skills are needed to use your digital business card. Ivan builds everything for you and provides simple instructions. To share your card, you just open the link on your phone and tap the share options. To show your QR code, you tap one button. To add it to your home screen, you follow the simple on-screen tips.

If you ever need help, Ivan is just a call or text away at (502) 999-3354. The whole point is to make professional technology accessible to everyone, regardless of technical ability.

Yes, with PWA technology, your digital business card can work offline for basic information. When someone adds your card to their home screen, the PWA caches key data so your name, photo, contact info, and services load even without an internet connection.

However, features like QR code generation and external links require connectivity. The offline capability ensures that your card is always accessible, even in areas with poor signal like basements, rural areas, or crowded events. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

To add your digital business card to your iPhone home screen, open your card link in Safari. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen — it looks like a square with an arrow pointing up. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen. You can edit the name if you like, then tap Add.

Your card icon will now appear on your home screen alongside your apps. Tap it anytime to open your card instantly in full-screen mode. This uses PWA technology, so it works like a native app without downloading anything from the App Store. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

To add your digital business card to your Android home screen, open your card link in Chrome. Tap the Menu button — it looks like three dots in the top right corner. Tap Add to Home Screen. You can edit the name if you like, then tap Add.

Your card icon will now appear on your home screen alongside your apps. Tap it anytime to open your card instantly in full-screen mode. This uses PWA technology, so it works like a native app without downloading anything from the Play Store. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

A digital business card from Ivan's Brand Builder typically takes 2 to 3 business days to complete. This assumes you provide your content (photos, text, logo, contact information) promptly. Ivan will give you a clear checklist of what he needs. Rush delivery may be available for urgent projects — just ask. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

The best way to share your digital business card at a networking event is to use the QR code feature. Open your master card on your phone, tap the QR code button, and show the code to the person you are talking to. They scan it with their phone camera and instantly see your professional slave card. They can then save you to their contacts with one tap, add your card to their home screen, or share it with others.

This is faster and more memorable than handing out paper cards, and it ensures they always have your most current information. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

Since you own the files, you can technically make simple text edits yourself if you are comfortable editing HTML. However, most clients prefer to have Ivan handle updates to ensure everything stays perfect. Minor updates like text changes and photo swaps are often free or very low cost. For major changes like new sections, redesigns, or added features, Ivan will quote you fairly based on the scope of work. He also offers maintenance plans for clients who want ongoing updates and support. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.

This page alone can dramatically improve your visibility in both traditional Google search and AI-powered answer engines. Contact Ivan at (502) 999-3354 or ivanjdeleon40@gmail.com.
