By best tip would be to hire a professional graphic artist.

For my website I will start working on adding images once all the concept is in place. I really have no idea what I will put in but that sounds like a good idea to use the same kind of design as my business cards. Thanks for the idea, I will definatelly try it.

I think you misunderstood. I meant, why not usethe same background as on the verso side for your website background, but use it as a website background faded 60% to keep reading easy

Hello AGians,

This card looks great... I like how it states what you work on.

Luxory, Exotics, Sports

Hope you took before an after pictures. Lets see!

Thank you guys. Funny story, I shattered my arm snowboarding in February so I had alot of time on my hands. I just searched google and YouTube for things I liked and started watching and doing tutorials.

5 months later I now am ready to launch, just need some more projects for before and after pics.

A big thing is to keep your logo consistent (website, business cards and for me vehicle logo)

I know a fair amount of people who work design, selling, marketing etc and all the tips from them seem to be paying off.
