Priority Business Card Maker

A browser-based business card generator built for Priority Tax Relief. Staff fill in a simple form, pick a color theme, and download two bleed-correct PDFs ready to upload directly to Vistaprint. Simple and done.

The Problem #

As a growing startup Priority Tax Relief onboards new staff regularly. Each time, the process changes and grows and gets better. In an effort to remove a bottleneck that didn't need to exist, I created a self-service tool for the operational staff to pick up and run with.

The Tool #

The cards follow a fixed brand system, only the contact details change, so the configurator presents a clean form: name (wraps to two lines automatically), title, phone, optional extension and second line, email, and website. A live card preview updates as you type. When ready, download the front and back as separate PDFs- each at 3.62 × 2.12 in with 0.06 in bleed on all sides and an embedded trim box, so Vistaprint centers the artwork automatically on cut.

Color Themes #

Twelve brand-approved themes cover the full range from the original Ink (black front, white back) to PTR Green, Bone, Orange, and several off-guide variants. Staff pick from the palette, no free-form color entry, no way to go off-brand by accident.

Technical Notes #

The tool is entirely client-side JavaScript, no backend, no server, no data sent anywhere. PDF generation runs in the browser. Hosted on GitHub Pages means zero infrastructure to maintain and zero ongoing cost. Output files carry a trim box so the card artwork lands centered once cut, with no extra scaling or margin step required at the printer.

Outcome #

An office manager can generate and order a business card for a new hire in under two minutes with no file handoff. The custom work bottleneck is gone.
