Carrd

Carrd is one of the fastest landing page builders out there. You don’t even need an account to start building a page. Just head to the Carrd website, select one of the themes, and get to it. Once you’re ready to publish your site, that’s when you’ll need to sign up.

Most of Carrd’s editing tools are simple to use. Click an image block, and a sidebar opens where you can upload a new image and add alt text and a link. Editing text is a bit confusing since you can’t edit it inline—again, you click the text then edit it in the sidebar—but it does support Markdown formatting for a quick way to customize your copy.

Many of Carrd’s themes only let you move items up and down to reorder them. That’s a bit restricting, but it keeps your content lined up. Or you can add a container from the + menu and set it to have multiple columns if you want to have items side-by-side. That’s also how you can add more text, videos, and other items to your page.

Carrd’s free version limits some key landing page features: you can’t use Google Analytics; embed third-party widgets from Stripe, PayPal, and Gumroad (so you can take payments); or add forms so you can collect email addresses. To get the most out of it, you’ll need to upgrade to at least a Pro Standard account.

Carrd price: Free for 3 sites with basic features; from $9/year for Pro Lite which unlocks more templates, but you need the $19/year Pro Standard plan to use advanced features like embeds, forms, custom domains, and Google Analytics.
