Creating templates

Use your favorite SVG editing application, like Inkscape, to create the business card you want. When design is done, you need to xml edit the svg: For each field that is dynamic you need to change the id attribute to match a field name of Remobox template, like pmail, twitter, name etc.

Inkscape comes with an editor, or you can opt to use your favorite text editor.

When done, upload the template to the application using the administration interface and make sure that the new template is marked as default.
