Contact Cards by Cardea
Your contact details, your work and the next step — together in one link. Contact Cards by Cardea give the people you meet a simple way to save your details, book or get in touch.
The Cardea film
- Your business. Your identity.
- Share by link or QR code.
- No app needed to open it.
A one-minute silent film. A Cardea card is tapped and Topp Shelf Building’s Contact Card opens on a phone. A contact is saved, a second phone scans the card’s QR code and opens it, and a Google review is started. It closes on Cardea: one tap to connect with everything that matters.
Made for the business
Your business. A first impression worth sharing.
A builder’s workmanship. A barber’s latest cuts. A makeup artist’s portfolio. Pick a card that catches your eye and click through. Get a feel for the experience, then imagine what yours could be.

The conditions, in plain words
When your card goes live
Your card is "delivered" the day it's live at its address and I've sent you the link. The three free months count from then.
Cancelling monthly
Monthly: cancel any time; your card stays live to the end of the month you've paid for.
Your annual plan
The year: paid in advance. I'll remind you 30 days before it renews, and you can turn renewal off any time before then. Cancel before the paid year starts and I refund it in full; once it's started, the rest of the year isn't refunded.
Coming back after a break
Come back after a break and the current price applies.
When payments stop
Stop paying and your card comes down after 30 days. I hold your address for 12 months, so printed cards can be brought back.
Cards for your team
Cards for your team are priced at the session.
Your start payment
The $63 + GST is refunded if I can't deliver the card, or if you don't want it when you see it live, before the session.
What your subscription covers
Your card stays live at its address, with hosting, the engine and security kept up, and the Cardea mark switched off. Small changes by Joshua are included; a design change is quoted. Editing in Cardea when it is live.

Email JoshuaThe name behind the card
Cardea opens the door.
Cardea began with the better business card: one someone could open on a phone, save and pass on. It takes its name from the Roman goddess of the hinge — a small thing that makes a door work.
I’m Joshua Cleland, the designer and builder behind Cardea and Cleland Studio, based on New Zealand’s Kāpiti Coast. Contact Cards are where Cardea starts: a considered first connection between your business and the people it serves.
Before you begin
A few good questions.
Is this a digital business card?
Yes. If you’re looking for a digital business card, Contact Cards are Cardea’s approach: a mobile web page designed around your business, with contact saving and useful links such as booking, work and reviews. Cardea is the brand; Contact Cards are the product, created by Joshua Cleland at Cleland Studio.
Does the other person need an app?
No Cardea app or account is needed to open your card. They follow the link or scan the QR code and it opens in their browser. They need an internet connection to load it. Saving your contact details uses their phone’s normal contact-saving steps, including any confirmation it asks for.
Do I need a physical tap card?
No. You can share the web link or show the QR code on your phone. A physical NFC card can open the same link when held near a compatible phone. If you want that option, we’ll discuss the card, compatibility, supply and cost on the call; physical cards are not assumed to be included.
Can I keep my website or booking service?
Yes. Your Contact Card can link to the website and booking page you already use. The examples include links to SQUIRE and Booksy, as well as a builder’s callback page. The booking is handled by that service. You can also start with contact details and useful links if you don’t have a full website.
What if my details change?
Small changes by Joshua are included; a design change is quoted. Editing in Cardea when it is live. A contact someone has already saved to their phone is a separate copy; it doesn’t automatically update when the web page changes.
What does a Contact Card cost?
$63 + GST to start. Your card, designed and built by me. Three months free. From the day your card goes live, nothing more for three months. Then $63 + GST a month. No minimum term. Cancel any time. Or take the year: $630 + GST. Two months free. Take the year at your setup session and it's $390 + GST. The offer stays open for six days after your session. Your card is already built by then, so a yes that week pays for it. Prices in NZ dollars, + GST.
When does the year start?
Your year starts when your free months end, so your next payment is 15 months away. Delivery is the day your card is live at its address and I’ve sent you the link. The year at $630 + GST is available any time.
What happens if I stop?
Monthly: cancel any time; your card stays live to the end of the month you've paid for. The year: paid in advance. I'll remind you 30 days before it renews, and you can turn renewal off any time before then. Cancel before the paid year starts and I refund it in full; once it's started, the rest of the year isn't refunded. Stop paying and your card comes down after 30 days. I hold your address for 12 months, so printed cards can be brought back. Come back after a break and the current price applies.
Let’s make it yours
What should happen after hello?
Tell me a little about your business. Three questions, about a minute. If it's a fit, you'll pick a time for your setup session straight away.
