It looks very nice, but the front of card implies that the URL is enguindesign.com and the email on the back uses enguin.com... I realize you probably use both, but their mix on the card is a bit confusing.

I debated about the confusion of the two for quite a while.
Ultimately, two things made us decide to stick with the shorter domain name in the email address while keeping the longer for our business URL:
1. In actual use, our clients haven't had issue with the different domains when sending emails.
2. People have been much more likely to mis-type x@enguindesign.com than they are at typing @enguin.com for email addresses for some reason. 3. People prefer the URL enguindesign.com to enguin.com when typing URLs.
There seems to be something about addresses with a certain number of syllables that are more memorable, for some reason. People have issues remembering enguin.com, but they don't have issues remembering bernard@enguin.com or enguindesign.com.
I don't fully understand it, but that's what my experience has been.
However, we have all x@enguindesign.com email addresses redirect to x@enguin.com, just in case.
