Simple user interface is easy to understand and to master in no time. Extremely easy to work with. Nice and simple solutions for most of needs.
Font management is not so good, there is no preview. Limitations to only 1 page. More options would be nice.
This online user solution is a good and economical solution for simple and fast web design.
Carrd offers HTML input, WYSIWYG and jQuery input which requires zero coding to create landing pages.
I hate that Carrd only create one page, but integrate with Wordpress which boost it's capabilities.
Creating highly responsive landing pages. Product cataloging.
Website creation is simple and fast. Good for creating responsive and elegantly designed landing pages,it also has a library of pre-made templates.
Loading time is slow and it is not optimised for SEO. Google analytics integration is not included in free plan.
Building landing pages and email collection tool for early access of product.
Carrd's templates, even on the free plan, are clean and attractive. Think of Carrd as suitable for a digital business card, a portfolio with a few images, or a simple landing page. I would recommend this for folks who need a temporary website solution. As well, if you just need a basic, one-page website to advertise yourself or your service. Their best templates look like a business card that links to a page. You can't beat the price-point. As I write this it's $19/year. Dirt cheap compared to most web builders like Wix, Weebly, Abstract, Wordpress, all that. The closest I could find was Persona (by Cargo) at $26/year. And it does have an improved WYSIWYG editor. Regardless, Carrd's got everyone beat for pricing.
Carrd has major limitations in elements and styling. If you want to create a blog or even a simple article, it's not going to be easy. The styles will be out-of-the-box, and for someone like me, that's going to be a deal-breaker for most applications. I would not recommend this product to designers or folks selling complex products. It's excellent for looking clean and professional but will not have you standing out.
I used Carrd to create a placeholder website while building something more complex. It redirected to other places people could find me. And it looked good.
The first time I encountered this site I was impressed at how easy it was to set up a business card site or landing page. Then I looked at the pricing. $19/year for 10 sites which includes the option of adding a custom domain. Compared to the yearly cost of About.me, it's a great deal. Pay a little more and you can accept payments and get 25 sites.. Still cheaper than About.me Use the extra sites for all your niches. The page builder loads very fast as do the sites themselves. I like that a lot.
Only one page is allowed per card-site. Depending on your needs, I guess, this is either a bug or a feature.
I like the idea of having a simple, fast-loading, easy to implement and updated business card site. I just don't want to pay a lot for it. Carrd is perfect for this and a good alternative to About.me.
Easy to use. Premade templates. Help Center. One-page website templates. Great for a starter website. Customer support responds quickly
The lack of search features in the help center makes it time-consuming to find what you need. Not many design options such as adding a blog. Also, when adding compressed images, the website loads much slower. Carrd doesn't seem to be optimized and designed for much beyond one paragraph and one very small image. For people needing more robust design features and faster load time, Carrd isn't the best option. Not optimize for SEO.
I need to create a quick and simple one-page website for my coaching business. Carrd fulfilled this temporary need.
It is a website that allows you to build a page for anything you would like. It allows you to build a one page site for any idea you may have and it’s completely free!
I dislike how general it is, it doesn’t aim to a specific area of anything. I would prefer for it to explain their concept a little better. It’s really easy to use for that fact that it’s not aimed to a specific point.
Business problems would be that it doesn’t shoot to a specific point. Benefits would be that it is free and very easy to use and teach others to use.
Extremely affordable, very versatile, and easy to use Allows for 10 sites for $20/year, and it's very customizable and can be edited with other users
Formatting multiple sections at once does not seem to be possible, so if you make a formatting change (like switching fonts) you'll have to change each section of text separately

Clean and sleek templates, very intuitive builder, and lightweight. Carrd makes it so easy to get a nice-looking site up and running quickly. Great for any impulsive side-hustler itching to start something new. And the Pro plan, with 10 sites for $19/year, means no buyer's remorse when same side-hustler decides to abandon project and start a new one on a whim. Thanks Carrd!
Would love to see Carrd open a marketplace for third-party template designs.
Makes it so easy and affordable to build a website and try something new.
(i) The Pricing - hard to beat ~$20 a year (plus perhaps $10 for a domain) to get a website up and running. (ii) The ease of use. The templates are generally a great starting point, and it is easy & intuitive to customize your webpage from there.
The limit to a one-page website can be a little disappointing, but ultimately you get what you pay for. If you want to get online quickly and cheaply, Carrd is the way to go. If you want a more built-out website, then go for Webflow or Wordpress.
We used Carrd to put up a one-page website landing page for an email newsletter. It was very easy to setup, connect the domain, and then connect the email service provider (we used Mailerlite, though Carrd has connections for numerous email service providers).
Carrd's pricing is incredibly reasonable. For only a little bit of money, you can host a number of sites using Carrd.
Carrd takes some getting used to and you have to understand page structures a bit, but once you play around for a bit, it becomes very easy to create nice pages.
Carrd allows users to set up single page websites very easily. No more messing around with other page builders, Carrd is simple and quick. There are a bunch of starter pages/templates, and also a few websites listing great Carrd design.
Carrd is so easy to use and their pricing is very good. I use it for my business for clients to email me questions, see my prices, and fill out the order form.
You can't change your website name without deleting the whole page. Not that I've found anyway. That makes it a little troublesome if you typo, but it isn't a deal breaker.
Carrd has allowed me to put all of my information in one place and allow clients to fill out a form rather than having me ask them a million questions to get them a proper quote.
Using Carrd allows you to create websites on the fly that a super sleek, responsive, and have decent SEO value. It takes about 5 minutes to build a website thanks to the templates that are provided and about 15-20 minutes if you want to connect it to your own domain (which is also comparatively easier than other platforms).
Sometimes while adding a new element it will automatically go to the bottom of the page which then forces you to drag it to the top each time. It doesn't really change the experience but it is definitely an annoyance that adds up over time.
Due to the ease of use, anyone can log into Carrd and make adjustments on the fly. This has allowed for me to priortize other areas of the website.
Fairly straightforward and easy to use Free Price is fair and lowest among similar services for premium version
Interface Performance of the design interface and the design process feels a bit slow and clunky Self-hosting is cheaper
I needed a rudimentary web presence and Carrd solved that. If I need something very, very basic - the free version of Carrd is pretty good.
No time is needed to study and learn how to use features; it's straightforward.
I know it's a one-page builder, but sometimes just having two pages would be nice.
Quickly create a landing page and integrate it with other marketing software.
