What is Carrd?

Carrd is a one-page website builder. Carrd has a ton of use cases like email newsletter sign-up, making a user purchase something, etc. This landing page builder helps you create pages focused on conversions.

Now let’s discuss its features, we’ll be going into each of them one by one:

• Responsive designs
• Beautiful templates

Carrd has a total of 80 templates and all of them are good-looking and responsive. They have different templates for different purposes like newsletter subscriptions, profiles, portfolios, landing pages, etc. The images are below –

We took one of the templates and took a look at its editor interface, its ease of use, and more. Here are the results:

1. The editor is easy to use and best of all, it is drag and drop.
2. It has various elements like texts, images, buttons, timers, icons, etc.
3. You can edit separately for mobile devices.
4. The pages and text are animated.
