Carrd

Carrd is the website builder for people who do not need a website builder. It makes one-page sites, it makes them fast, and it makes them cheap. If your goal is a personal bio page, a product landing page, or a simple signup form, Carrd strips away everything you do not need and lets you ship in minutes.

What Carrd Does

Carrd is a one-page website builder that focuses exclusively on single-page sites. You pick a template, customize the layout with a clean visual editor, connect a custom domain if you want one, and publish. There is no CMS, no blog engine, no multi-page navigation. That simplicity is the point. Carrd handles the one thing it does extremely well: fast, attractive, single-page websites at an unbeatable price.

Key Strengths

Incredibly affordable. Pro plans start at $9 per year. Not per month. Per year. That is less than a single month of most competitors.
Dead simple editor. The interface is minimal and intuitive. You drag sections, edit text, upload images, and publish. No learning curve, no overwhelm.
Fast load times. Single-page sites with optimized assets load almost instantly. No bloated frameworks, no unnecessary scripts.
Great templates. Carrd ships with dozens of well-designed, responsive templates that look professional out of the box. Each one is fully customizable.
Form integrations. Pro plans support forms that connect to Mailchimp, Google Sheets, Zapier, and other services. Collecting leads and signups works seamlessly.

Limitations to Know

Single page only. Carrd builds one-page sites exclusively. If you need multiple pages, a blog, or any kind of content management, you need a different tool like Webflow or WordPress.
Limited customization depth. While the editor covers common needs, you cannot achieve the design precision of Webflow or Framer. Advanced CSS control and complex layouts are not available on standard plans.
No e-commerce. There is no built-in shopping cart or checkout. You can embed third-party payment buttons, but Carrd is not designed for selling products.

How It Compares

Carrd vs. Squarespace: Squarespace is a full website platform with multi-page sites, e-commerce, and blogging. Carrd does one page only, but costs a fraction of the price. If a single page is all you need, Carrd saves you significant money with zero compromises on quality.

Carrd vs. Wix: Wix offers a free plan with multi-page support, a drag-and-drop editor, and app marketplace. Carrd is more focused and far cheaper for simple pages. Wix makes sense when you need a full site. Carrd wins when simplicity and speed matter most.

Common Questions

Can I use my own domain with Carrd? Yes, on Pro Standard and Pro Plus plans. Carrd supports custom domains with free SSL certificates through Let’s Encrypt. You point your domain’s DNS to Carrd’s servers, and the connection is handled automatically.

Is Carrd good for business websites? It depends on what you need. For a simple business landing page with contact information and a lead capture form, Carrd works perfectly. For a business that needs multiple pages, a blog, or e-commerce, you should look at a more full-featured builder.

Can I collect form submissions with Carrd? Yes. Pro Standard and Pro Plus plans include form support. You can connect forms to services like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Google Sheets, and Zapier. Pro Plus adds custom form actions with webhook support for more advanced workflows.

How many sites can I build on Carrd? The free plan allows 3 sites. Pro Lite supports 3 sites, Pro Standard supports 10, and Pro Plus supports 25. All sites are managed from a single account dashboard.
