Carrd is a free online platform for building simple, fully responsive one-page websites for almost any purpose.
Purpose and Overall Positioning Carrd is aimed at users who need to quickly build a one-page website, emphasizing "simple, free, fully responsive." It is suitable for one-page scenarios such as personal profiles and landing pages.
Main Capabilities

- After a paid upgrade (Go Pro), more capabilities become available, including: publishing sites with your own custom domain and full SSL support (via Let's Encrypt); building and publishing more than three sites under a single Carrd account; adding contact, signup (supporting Mailchimp, Kit, ActiveCampaign, EmailOctopus, etc.), and custom forms with payment functionality enabled; embedding custom code and components from third-party services such as Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Typeform, etc.; enabling optional website analytics and tracking (supporting Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, etc.) to monitor performance; and publishing sites without the footer "Made with Carrd" branding.
How to Use After users log in to an existing account or register a free Carrd account, they choose a starting point (a template or a blank page), build the page in the browser editor, and publish it. Documentation provides answers and explanations, and the Changelog lets users learn about additions and changes. Upgrades can be tried free for 7 days, and PayPal as well as all major credit and debit cards are accepted.
Use Cases Suitable for quickly creating one-page websites such as personal profiles and landing pages, and also suitable for scenarios that need to collect contact or signup information through forms or make payments, as well as embed third-party components and enable website analytics.
