Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a better alternative to Carrd?
For technical users: UIXDraft HTML templates ($35 one-time, unlimited sites) give full design control, better PageSpeed (88–97 vs 65–80), and unlimited sites vs Carrd's per-site pricing. For non-technical users who just need a simple bio page: Carrd remains excellent at $19/year for 1 site.
Is Carrd good for SEO?
Carrd has limited SEO features — you can set title, description, and some basic meta tags, but you can't control canonical URLs, schema.org structured data, Open Graph tags, or add custom tracking scripts on free/lower plans. For SEO-focused sites, plain HTML templates give complete control over every SEO element.
How many websites can I make with Carrd?
Carrd Pro Lite ($19/yr) = 1 published site. Carrd Pro Standard ($49/yr) = 3 sites. Carrd Pro Plus ($99/yr) = 10 sites. UIXDraft HTML templates: $35 once, unlimited sites on any host. For agencies or anyone building 3+ sites, UIXDraft is significantly cheaper.
What is better than Carrd for a portfolio?
For developer/designer portfolios: UIXDraft HTML portfolio templates score 88–97 on PageSpeed, allow full custom JavaScript and CSS, and include schema.org markup. This makes them better for SEO and performance than Carrd. For non-technical portfolio: Carrd is simpler but limited. For visual artists: Adobe Portfolio (included with Creative Cloud) is a strong alternative.
Can I use Carrd for commercial projects?
Carrd's Pro plans allow commercial use. However, for agencies delivering sites to clients, Carrd creates a platform dependency — clients need to access Carrd to update their site. UIXDraft HTML templates allow client handoff of pure HTML files — clients or their developers can host and edit without any platform accounts.
