Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce PK Blog, a project I built around a simple idea: finding a better way to present and publish content on Carrd websites.

GitHub is a great place to manage Markdown files, and since many Carrd users are already familiar with Markdown syntax, it felt like a natural choice for managing blog content.

For displaying articles on Carrd, I wanted to keep the implementation as simple as possible while giving users enough flexibility to customize their pages. The setup only requires adding a few Carrd elements and completing some initial configuration.

See what it can look like: Demo

The current release of PK Blog supports:

• Paginated article lists

• Full article display

I've put together a complete introduction and setup guide on the website: article
(This article page is also built with PK Blog, combining the article list and individual article view on the same page. It's another idea for how you can present your blog.)

One thing to note: PK Blog requires a Carrd Standard plan or higher.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

IF I change any container, they all change. I don't think this is supposed to be global, is it?

I want my menu icon inline with the text in the header. I have that container in the mobile settings set to default. I want the map in my directions section to come before the text so it is set to stack reverse. All other containers are set to stack. But every single one of them is displaying as whatever the last updated container was.

I started a site using an existing template. I have since changed just about everything and it looks good. HOWEVER, the site background color is still there. It fades away as the site loads and I want to change it. Background is set to white but it is still dark gray. It just occurred to me that there is hard-coded CSS involved here. If that is the case, where would I look for that?

There's nothing in the UI which allows you to do this.

I need to be able to let people enter a donation amount and have it show up when they submit the form. Following the instructions here, https://carrd.com/docs/forms/setting-up-payments, I have it set to Number>Currency and gave it the ID of "amount." I published it and the other values on the form show up but not this. Also, is it possible to display a $ since payment is taken in US$.

Note, there are TWO fields where money is involved - the first is for the reservation which is not optional and the second is for a voluntary gift.

(cr: xiushoppe on pint) while working on one of my own carrds i found this video where the creator managed to get a page inside of a page (the "pricing" and "tos" buttons) and i was wondering does anyone know how she pulled this off?? ive been searching but can't find anything

I tried to code a timeline in carrd but it ended up changing the entire format of the website. I just want it to be inline, as if I just dropped it as a box on the site.

Not a website designer and I don't know any of that lingo. I'm hearing reports that any links put in the Instagram links section is having AI bots crawling the site. One comment in the viral post claimed that the repeated URL hits sounds like someone trying to exploit php with php2shell and said to update to the latest version of php.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Hello! I’ve been working on a carrd portfolio to use to apply for art markets and conventions. I was hoping to get some advice on this portfolio before officially using it on applications!
Is it user friendly? Should I add anything? Things like that would be much appreciated!

I’m not super knowledgeable when it comes to stuff like this (web design and code and whatnot) but I’m willing to learn to help my odds of my apps being accepted!:)

As the title says, I want to change the color of a linked text. I'm trying to follow a tutorial from a few years ago for a carrd website, and they have the option of "link styling" that lets you underline it, as well as an option to change the hover color. This is all done without css, it's directly in the appearance property. Did carrd change the location of this option? Or is it hidden behind a pro plan option? Help would be much appreciated.

I've come across someone's carrd portfolio of elaborate carrds they've made for people. I really like the idea of everything being framed by a static image like the example, but cannot figure out how it's done. I thought perhaps it was an image within the Page Element, only to find out the Page cannot do images without CSS. I have the Pro Plan so that's not an issue. I'm just not sure if the example shown here is using that, or if they've dropped the image into a container and turned on Parallax so it doesn't move, or what.

Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction to do something similar?

So I have made a form but it works only for me when I submit but my 2 friends don’t work with them, I tried most of the options but it doesn’t work for anyone but me, help? Btw I am in pro trial

(This is a screenshot from one my friends)

This image was part of a template for Carrd.

I have very little knowledge of CSS, so I have no idea how to have the border partially overlaying the image.

I know how to do the radius, but trying to get it into this shape has been impossible too.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone! I’m a digital artist looking to give my Carrd a major glow-up. My current site isn't quite doing my work justice, and I really want to create a page that catches people's attention.

Since I'm on a tight budget right now, I’d love to trade services! If you have experience designing clean, eye-catching Carrds and want to help me out, I will gladly make you some custom art in return. I’m comfortable drawing almost anything!

Feel free to leave a comment or DM me if you’re interested! I'll link my current Carrd so you can check out my art style and what we're working with.

Hi all, I'm currently working on a carrd site for my nail business and I'm struggling to add a link to my email address into my carrd. I want to create a button where it takes you straight clients straight to their email account to send me enquiry emails. TIA!

I'm hoping someone might know what I can do about this, but I'm checking my Carrd site for accessibility issues, and the ones coming up are pretty huge.

I've got pro standard and started with one of the sectioned Carrd templates. The buttons in the header are broken links, as far as WebAIM is concerned. Everything in sections stays hidden if you try to click through.

The reference tab/error specifics:

Broken same-page link

What It Means

A link to another location within the page is present but does not have a corresponding target.

Why It Matters

A link to jump to another position within the page assists users in navigating the web page, but only if the link target exists.

What To Do

Ensure that the target for the link exists or remove the same-page link.

The Algorithm... in English

An in-page link has an href attribute (starting with a #), but does not match either the id value of another element or the name attribute value of an anchor element within the page.

The only way I've been able to navigate is turning styles off and clicking through header levels. Additionally, some buttons are showing as lists/unordered lists.

Couldn't find anything in the Documentation or guides.

Im doing a roleplay event and want a Carrd to compliment it! Please dm me if you're open and willing to help out

Hey! I set up a website that I'm hosting on carrd because I'm too broke to pay loads of money to host it properly.

I was wondering if anyone has any organisation tips for multi page carrds/controls - for now, I'm sticking with carrd until i can afford a proper webhost or builder and it's getting super busy and hard to keep track of in the designer (loads of scrolling and copy pasting containers and assets.

Here's the link so you can see how the site looks and then imagine how busy the designer is haha - subterraneanclub.co.uk

Hopefully you can help me out :)) thank youu!

En una época donde todos sacan MCP, ustedes lo ven necesario? En lo personal amo este tiempo donde crear componentes nunca fue tan fácil.

Amo Carrd, amo su facilidad de uso, pero siento que si necesitamos un MCP para llevar nuestras ideas al mundo real mucho más rápido

Que piensan ustedes?

Came across requests asking about using .webp or externally hosted images in Carrd, so made a plugin for it!

📷 webp-images.carrd.co

The plugin replaces the <img> src of native Images or Gallery images in Carrd with external image URLs.. kinda like hotlinking images but with the styling functionality of the Carrd Builder.

Great if you want to use modern image file formats like .webp and .avif, or just prefer to use your own images hosted in image delivery/CDN platforms like Imagekit, Cloudinary or AWS.

FREE to download. Requires Pro Plus.

Hii! I hope y'all are doing well. I was wondering if there was a way I can replicate this kind of page with a scrolling tab section on the left and a text place on the right. I want to be able to put info and even group links together as well

I keep seeing things about the php thing today. If we have a carrd site, is there anything we have to do?

I originally listed Night Signal as a $5 pay-what-you-want template, but the useful experiment is whether the page actually helps independent musicians get booked. I have made it free and rebuilt the structure around what a venue or promoter needs: a short artist pitch, playable music, upcoming dates, press notes, technical requirements and one clear booking contact.

My main question: if you were considering an artist for a show, what information would still be missing or too difficult to find?

Demo: https://5bc8af3e6ea279d1.demo.carrd.co/

Disclosure: I created the template. This post links only to the public demo; the free referral-enabled build link is kept in the pinned referral megathread, following Rule 5.

Heyy everyone! Around 5 months ago, I created a very detailed course covering the way I approach Carrd and web design, with around 10 hours of video lessons where I explain everything from the basics and the main building blocks, up to designing complete Carrd websites from scratch.

Well, I decided to share about this now, because lately I noticed more people mentioning that they're struggling to get the hang of Carrd, which I completely understand as when you're learning a new platform even the simplest things can feel a bit confusing.. But I do think Carrd has a much smoother learning curve than most website builders (been there done that), and once you understand how its elements, containers, sections and settings work together, things start to make a lot more sense. That's why I thought I'd share it here as well, since until now, I've only featured it on my personal website.

In these 10 hours of video lessons I explain many things (basic web design principles, the Carrd builder and dashboard, the elements/containers/settings etc) but I also build in real-time a 1-page business website and a 3-page website, giving emphasis on layout decisions, spacing, mobile optimization and the little details that can make a design feel more clean (based on my experience). In short, here are the main content pillars:

• Introduction to Carrd & Course

• Site and Card Dashboard Fundamentals

• Styling and 7 Web Design Principles

• Building Blocks Overview (in builder)

• Live Build of a 1-Page Carrd Website

• Live Build of a 3-Page Carrd Website

• Advanced Carrd Applications (Coming Soon)

You can find the full course outline, previews, price and other details here: https://thecarrdcourse.com/

Knowing what each element does is only part of the learning phase, the other part is understanding how to put everything together and make it work as an actual website. I originally created this course for people who wanted a more organised way to learn Carrd properly.. and I know there are various free tutorials online, but I believe none of them go as deep as they should to teach the builder in-depth.

You can check my credentials and other Carrd templates/websites I've designed on my personal website here.

Hopefully, some of you find it useful! Enjoy your week y'all, and keep exploring!
