Sells Free one-page website builder with optional paid tier for custom domains and advanced features
// scorecard
Headline 'Build one-page sites for pretty much anything' is clear but generic; subheader explains free + responsive well.
'Choose a Starting Point' is vague; 'Click below to get started' lacks specificity and urgency.
Lists integrations (Stripe, Mailchimp, Let's Encrypt) and mentions free tier; no user count, testimonials, or case studies.
'No signup required' lowers friction; free tier with 3 sites is generous; Pro pricing ($19/year) is transparent.
Clean, minimal design with good hierarchy; no screenshots of actual sites or product UI shown.
Tight, benefit-led copy ('Simple, Responsive, Free'); 'yup' adds personality but some sections feel list-like.
// 6 leaks + fixes
The main CTA reads 'Choose a Starting Point' which doesn't clearly signal what happens next. Visitors don't know if they're signing up, logging in, or starting a free trial.
Replace with 'Start Building Free' or 'Create Your Site Free' to make the action and outcome explicit.
The headline 'Build one-page sites for pretty much anything' doesn't lead with the core differentiator. 'Free' appears only in the subheader and feature list, not in the hero headline.
Rewrite hero to 'Build Free One-Page Sites in Minutes' or 'Free Website Builder for Creators' to lead with the free promise.
The page describes features (Simple, Responsive, Free) but shows no actual Carrd site examples, interface screenshots, or before/after visuals.
Add 2–3 real Carrd site examples or a GIF showing the builder in action to prove the product works and looks good.
No mention of how many sites have been built, user testimonials, or social proof beyond integration logos.
Add a line like 'Join 100,000+ creators building sites with Carrd' or a short testimonial from a real user.
The 'Optional: Go Pro!' section is positioned as an afterthought, and the $19/year price is buried in a long feature list.
Highlight the Pro price earlier and more prominently: 'Unlock Pro features for just $19/year' to make the upgrade path feel natural.
'Try it free for 7 days' appears only near the bottom, after the Pro features list, and doesn't stand out.
Move the free trial offer to the hero or repeat it near the primary CTA to reduce perceived commitment.
