I paid $180 to have 1,000 cards custom designed by www.kbkgraphics.com and he also had them printed for me which was included in that price. The next time I order it will only be $80 and that is the heavy duty card stock with rounded corners and gloss finish.
I am VERY happy with Kieths design and he was easy to work with.

vistaprints make a good card at a cheap price. i would recomend the gloss finish. i put my card holder in the wash and the cards came out not bad at all. if you are ok with someone else haveing a card that looks alot like yours then i would say do it. if u want your own then pay the $$$ or get a program and do it your self

I used vista print and I took a jpg of my logo and used that as a picture, and then added info on the text lines. They came out great and look just like the lettering on my truck, clothing and lawn signs.

I've used gotprint.com many times. Very good rates.
Get a graphic designer to put your card together with logo for $50 or so, and get them printed. You should have them in a week or so.

overnightprints.com....top quality, double-sided, rounded corners, glossy cards... about $60 per 1000 i think... they have an online designer, very easy to use, with tons of templates and stuff you can use.. they ship really fast too...
i'm really happy with them...

so what do you want on it? does that one work for ya with some mods? a logo can't really contain too much text.... you just add it to the business card in a corner or something....
name and slogan...that's about it... maybe phone number or website if you're focused on getting ppl to your site....

when a customer wants to design a house, they go to an architect... you wany cards or shwag.... go to a local print shop. i sat down with the designer of my local printshop and she came up with dozens of good ideas and we settled on the one i have now which my avitar is the "W" in world. i paid her $55 for her time and i think $50 for cards and i now own the image. with it i have shirts, signs, lettering, etc.
find a local print shop and let them do some rendering for you... if you don't like it they will change it... if you still don't like it, don't buy it and go somewhere else!!

hey W.... i just checked out your site... it's pretty basic... i think you should get a better one, maybe with a photo gallery (there are many free ones out there)...
and more important, in your contact section you are saying: "For more information, or to set up an appointment for consultation, please contact us by calling or via e-mail.", but I couldn't find a phone number on the entire site....
and also.. that hit counter at the bottom of the page that had 100,000 as a start point, that needs to go....
