What is Carrd?
In simple words, Carrd is a website tool that allows users to create a ‘one page’ website using drag and drop functions. Carrd sets the user up with templates for landing pages, profiles, or portfolios to start off with. Or, you can use a blank canvas. Carrd was created by founder AJ. He created Carrd in order to simplify the process of making a website. AJ’s concept was to create a website tool that was fast to use, free, and had no sign up required. AJ wanted the process of making a website to be under 5 minutes. If you have your own site already, you know that making a website in under 5 minutes is virtually impossible.

Carrd is beneficial to businesses and people of all business status’. Whether you are just starting out, or have a business thats been up and running for over 20 years, Carrd can be beneficial to you as a tech user.
