Ive been working on a new card design. Is it too busy or is it ok?

Humm, I think it is a little busy. If you want some tips:
1. Just put your website on there, and make sure the site has contact info easily available on it. That way you don't have to put your email right on the card.
2. Put the business name in a different font or make it stand out more

I have done quite a few business cards.... I would suggest, possibly changing the left side text to the same color red and removing the address all together since you have a number and website. If your website has a link for E mail, I would remove the E mail address so as to channel them directly to your wesbite.
Possibly add an image or photo?
Change the all black background to a gradient?
take the text on left and center on th ebottom left and right such as
portraits - weddings - special events - corporate - sports
I am more a symmetrical type guy so the busy look is not my style. TOP half looks fine..Bottom half is too busy.

IMO you can cut off everything after your website address, with the exception of a phone number and name - you could just have the rest of your contact info on the website.
The one thing I find myself looking for on a business card is a name and a number.
BTW, what's on the flip side?

I'd agree it needs an image and the font is tough to read. Your exsisting design is right side heavy.

Why not put the bottom half below the web address on the flip side?

Definitely change the information font to something more fine lined and no frills. Your "logo" should stand out from the rest of your information. It's just such a basic layout...there is nothing on your card that will make people remember you. If nothing else...hire a good graphics designer to create a logo for your business. (I'm affordable;))

The black background doesn't work for me. I prefer simpler, classier, white background with a touch of blue, may be.
