Carrd is an online builder for one-page websites, launched in 2016. It describes itself as a way to make "simple, free, fully responsive one-page sites for pretty much anything": a personal page, a profile, a portfolio, a landing page or a launch announcement. Everything is built in the browser, from templates or from a blank page, and every site adapts to any screen size.
Its free tier is meant to be used rather than escaped: a free account publishes up to three sites with all the core features. What the free tier keeps back is the equipment around the page, such as a custom domain, forms, embeds and analytics, which come with the paid Pro plans. Those plans are billed by the year, start at $9 and scale with the number of sites an account holds.
What the free plan includes
- Up to three sites per account.
- All of the core building features.
- Dozens of templates.
- A responsive layout that adapts to every screen size.
What the Pro plans add
The free tier leaves out custom domains, forms (contact, signup and payment forms), widgets and third-party embeds, site analytics, and the removal of the "Made with Carrd" branding. The Pro plans lift these in three families:
- Pro Lite: premium URLs, no branding, high-quality images, large media uploads, unlimited elements, premium templates, video uploads, slideshows, site icons, social sharing images, QR codes and site transfers.
- Pro Standard: everything in Pro Lite, plus custom domain URLs, forms, widgets and embeds, analytics, meta tags and local fonts.
- Pro Plus: everything in Pro Standard, plus advanced forms, advanced settings, site downloads, redirects, password protection, variables, site files, update frequency control and canonical URLs.
