Tips from making Volker Bourne Webilaro.net V Card
Craig Galloway offered free V card service through his Webilaro.net “Ignite” service on 5th February 2024.
He kindly agreed to using it for a Volker Bourne (an alter ego) – to create https://vcard.webilaro.net/vcard-volker-bourne
The “Basic Page” in the back end set-up looked like this ↓
I found the text entries to be fairly self explanatory and required very little, if any, editing.
What I found took more time were the images. They were those for the Profile, Cover, Services and Testimonials.
I thought others might find themselves in s similar position – so I put this page together to help guide through the image inputs.
They are not prescriptive – just what I found that worked for me.

From the VCard Templates I chose the right most template ↓
The Profile Image was one I already created (with the portrait already centred) ↓ and was uploaded “as was” – the image being that below (877px x 664px) ie. no editing needed.
It was a similar experience with the images for the “Services” cards. One of which is immediately below ↓
For the Cover Image a white background measuring 600 px wide by 314 px height was used with the wording and images centred.
For the Testimonials I re-used images I’d created as postage stamp mock-ups – each measuring 540px x 412 px No editing was needed. ↓
That’s it – the images used in the VCard sections –
Profile, Cover, Services and Testimonials
Thank you for your time – Chris Davis and Volker Bourne 😉
