Thank you! We're basing it off the price of other website builders. (For example, Webflow's Basic plan is $12 without their CMS feature). From what I know, Carrd only give you 1 page per site. (We're also building our own CMS feature right now :D) And yes, it's the editor itself that is our biggest selling point, and we did have users who preferred to use the editor as a software, and then export the code and host th…

Hi there! As I read this I wanted immediately to check it up and sign up right away since my ccard pro plan happens to expire tomorrow. Then the price... It would be great to get some kind of very basic plan. I really only need a single page but it was pretty ridiculous in the end to get my website to look ALMOST (I wasn't able to get it to do what I wanted and in the end I wondered if I could not have fought with th…

Got it, thanks for the feedback. You could give it a try with the free plan which allows you to publish 1 page for free, but you won't be able to connect a custom domain unfortunately.

I'm not sure if you're saying you want to add html/css or you don't, but just letting you know that we do have a Code Injection feature to add code to the and .

I noticed there're some trackers in the pages. Is it possible to completely remove all tracking and make the site have better privacy?

Yes it's possible. By default we include a Google Analytics tag on published sites, but you can contact us to disable it on your site.

Your product looks nice! Just a suggestion about the tracking; disable all tracking by default and provide an easy to find option to enable Google Analytics, etc.

Thank you, that makes sense! We actually just released a built-in analytics feature a couple weeks ago

Whenever I test out a new website builder, the first basic thing I try to do is change the entire background color to some ugly color.

Here's how that went:

- Right clicking on the page outside the boxes, ok no special contextual menu

- Went into the page settings (three dot menu) and try to find the option there

- Tried to create a new block, saw "container" and see that I can add a background color and resize it to full width. That's not exactly what I want but it's close enough

- Get rid of all the other blocks except container, now the second contextual menu to resize it is hidden at the top outside the viewport.

- Create a navbar just to add a little space and be able to click it :)

- Resize the box and add the background color (unfortunately for me, I can only choose presets of non-ugly colors)

Besides this, I really like how if you already use notion you'll feel right at home. :)

Edit: Just saw the "custom color" box at the end there. My bad.

>Much like Notion and other block editing methods, site content is represented in a JSON format. Each block has a type, for example, a block of Paragraph would have the type "Paragraph" and would be represented by {"type":"paragraph", "text": "Hello World"}, and an image would have the type "Image" represented by {"type":"image", "url":" http://placekitten.com/200/300 "}. A page consists of an array of blocks represe…

I mean, you don't see any value in being able to declaratively state an entire app? ...

Yes we actually did have a couple questions on how to change the background color, and realized that using a container is "doable" but "not intuitive", so definitely something we should improve on!

And yes the context menu is covered when it's near the top , a bug we need to fix.

About the color, I am not sure whether you want the ugly color or you don't lol, but you seem to have figured it out :D

Thanks for the feedback!
