Carrd

Carrd is a web-based platform for building simple, responsive one-page websites. Launched in 2016, it emphasizes quick deployment and ease of use. Sites created with Carrd are hosted on the platform’s servers and can be published under a Carrd subdomain or connected to a custom domain. Carrd aims to provide a lightweight alternative to more complex website builders.

The service offers a visual editor with drag-and-drop components, a library of templates, and responsive design that adapts to desktop and mobile screens. Users can customize typography, colors, and layouts, add forms and embeds (such as videos or third-party widgets), and incorporate basic interactive elements. All sites include HTTPS and SSL security.

Carrd operates on a freemium model. A free tier provides core functionality with branding, while paid Pro plans unlock additional templates, enhanced form capabilities, more publishing options, and priority support. The pricing structure is designed to scale with needs ranging from personal projects to small business pages.

Use cases for Carrd include personal portfolios, landing pages, event or product launches, and simple marketing pages. Its strengths lie in simplicity, fast setup, and mobile-friendly output. Limitations include its focus on single-page sites and less extensive content management or e-commerce features compared with larger website builders. Overall, Carrd serves as a straightforward tool for quickly producing compact, visually coherent web pages.
