I'm open to your ideas, but if you didn't like the colors, I chose them because printing requires CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow and Key (black)).

No offense mate, you've had your try; you should hand it over to a real designer now.

(just so you know, your second layout was far better than the first one or the latest one.)

Personally I think the design is perfect for the site and would use the site regardless.

Yeah, I think I'm going to leave at at this (maybe slight changes) and start marketing. If the site starts doing well, I'll redesign it with better ordering features.

Thanks to everyone for their critique and help...now who wants business cards?

So if something starts doing well, you change it? Seems like a bit of backwards logic to me.

It would be best to hire someone now before you waste time and money marketing the site in its current state.

I'm with Gareth. What's the use in wasting valuable time and money in marketing something which many potential customers might not take a second glance at. Hire a designer. If you have a good design, people will expect a good service. At the moment, it would appear that you're kicking yourself in the teeth with this design.

Also; think about a new name. ZippyBizCards really doesn't have any sort of ring to it. Think of something new and creative, but make sure it sticks in people's mind!
