Business Card Title

    What title do you use on your business card?

    I'm particularly interested in folks that wear multiple hats:
    Owner + Designer + Coder + Blogger + Photographer.

    Webmaster doesn't fit all of these. Multimedia Specialist maybe? Webmonkey?

    I would list out all titles. Will give clients a better understanding of what you can do.

    I like the words "design and development." I also like the words you listed, though, kineda, especially "multimedia specialist!"

    Right now mine is "Chief Gaming Officer"

    It's somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but most of the time when I give out my business card it's not to drum up business. If you want to get work form the people you're giving your card to, then think what would be best from their perspective.

    development sounds more engineer-like to me... less design, less blogger...

    I agree with drig. Your name and list specifically what you do. Make it clear exactly what you do.

    Thanks. While it might be easier to say "webmaster" they might not know that you also do content writing and seo. Best to say exactly what you do. No guessing, no fuss.

    I know alot of business owners that leave off a title. I'm the President of my corporation even though I wear many hats and only have a few emplyoees so mine says "President."

    I have...

    "company name
    Jon Wheatley
    Managing Director"

    ...written on mine. That way you can explain what it is you do and / or your company does on your website or on the card itself. It's very hard to give it a title.
