The content that markdown cards delivers are attractive, simple and to the point. As a result of the efficiency, more than 85% of our users have begun to use Markdown Cards. This is a boon to businesses who don’t have a mobile website as our Markdown Cards are effective to deliver all the necessary information and call to action.
Based on the some great feedback we have received from our growing customer base, we are continuously working on finding ways to make our customer experience better. And now, we present to you the most requested Markdown Card themes.
You can now override the default theme and go creative with your card. It is ridiculously easy to customize these Markdown Cards, and most importantly you don’t need an engineer to code. You can design your Markdown Cards by simply replacing the existing texts and images.
