Start with one page. Grow to a whole site.

Carrd wins a tiny one-pager. Frontpage wins the brief: that first page, then pricing, about, and a blog when you ask, on your domain.

  • One page or many
  • No drag editor
  • Ask for page two

Free plan to start. No credit card. Carrd still wins a tiny one-pager.

What Frontpage does

Frontpage starts with a landing page. Then you ask for the next one.

Carrd wins if you want a tiny one-pager and you are happy dragging and nudging. This page is for everyone else. One-page ceiling, templates that look alike, Pro for a domain and forms, and a wall when you need page two. Frontpage builds that first page, then pricing, about, and a blog when you ask.

A first page that can grow

Start with one landing page. Ask for pricing, about, and a blog. Frontpage wires the nav.

Looks like the brand

Color, font, and copy from the first draft. Not a shared Carrd template. See editing by chatting.

The problem

Carrd is built around a single page. Then you hit the wall.

Carrd is built for one page. The moment you need more than that page, real navigation, a blog, or a layout that is not on the template list, you hit a wall. You are still dragging elements and nudging spacing by hand. Custom domains and forms sit behind Pro. A lot of Carrd sites end up looking like Carrd sites.

Built for one page

Real multi-page navigation, a blog, or a deeper structure is awkward or out of scope.

You still drag and nudge

Lighter than most builders. Elements and spacing are still placed by hand on every section.

Templated by default

Most Carrd sites start from the same small set of templates, so they tend to look alike.

The project will outgrow it

Forms and a custom domain need Pro. Once the idea needs more than a one-pager, the usual path is a rebuild elsewhere.

How to switch

Three steps past the Carrd ceiling.

  1. 01

    Describe the first page

    A link-in-bio or a full launch. Frontpage drafts it. Getting started.

  2. 02

    Refine by chatting

    Reword the headline, restyle a section, add a page. Chat is the editor.

  3. 03

    Publish, then grow it

    Go live on your domain. Ask for the next page when you need it. Connect your domain.

Without the one-page wall

What you get when you leave Carrd.

Page one now. Page two when you ask. Same site.

A first page that can grow

A landing page now, then pricing, about, and a blog when you need them.

Your brand from the first draft

Colors, type, and copy. Not a shared template.

Navigation when there is more than one page

Menus, footers, and internal links are wired as pages are added.

Search basics

Growth and undo

The gaps we fill

What you get when you switch.

Launch the first page. Ask for the next one. Publish on your domain. Carrd can keep the tiny one-pager.

  1. 01

    One page or a full site

    Start with a landing page, then ask for pricing and a blog. Frontpage builds the pages, routing, and nav.

  2. 02

    Describe it, then review it

    Ask for a centered hero, an email capture, and three benefit cards. Frontpage builds that on brand.

  3. 03

    Look like the brand, not a template

    Color, font, and copy from the first draft. A restyle is one sentence.

  4. 04

    Grow after it is live

    Growth Advisor suggests. You accept or decline. Autopilot tests on Scale. Rewind if a change misses.

Search after the launch

Give the launch page a path into search.

People search the launch, land on the page, and decide. Frontpage writes titles and structure so a one-pager, or the site it grows into, can still be found. Open SEO tools.

  • Clean descriptions as pages are added

See it in action

Start with one page. Ask for the next.

Describe the newsletter launch, then add about and an archive with another sentence.

If the project needs pricing or a blog next month, say so.

frontpage · your site
Build a one-page launch for my newsletter. Email capture, three benefits, and a sample issue.
Done. Centered hero with an email form, three benefit cards, sample-issue band. Want an archive page later?
Yes, add an about page and an archive, and put them in the nav.
Both pages added, nav wired. Analytics are on. Growth Advisor will suggest. Rewind is there if you want last Tuesday back.

Why switch

Why people switch.

Keep the first page. Lose the ceiling.

Page two

The next page is a sentence

Pricing, about, a blog. Frontpage wires the pages and the nav. No rebuild on a second tool.

  • One conversation
  • No one-page wall
  • Nav is handled

Honest split

Carrd still wins a tiny one-pager

If you want a single tidy page and you are happy dragging, stay. If you will need page two, a domain, or a look that is not a shared template, leave.

  • Carrd wins the tiny page
  • Frontpage wins the next page
  • No Pro hunt for a domain

After publish

Questions

If you already have a Carrd page.

Is Frontpage a good Carrd alternative?

Yes, especially once you need more than one page. Frontpage builds a single landing page or a full site from the same conversation.

Can it still build a simple one-page site?

Yes. A clean link-in-bio or a single launch page is a normal first brief. You are never boxed into one page.

Will the site look different from other Carrd sites?

Frontpage builds around brand color, font, and copy from the first draft instead of a shared template.

Do I get forms and a custom domain?

Ask for a form. Connect a custom domain with SSL. You do not hunt through Pro tiers to unlock the basics. See pricing.

Does Autopilot run on every site?

No. Autopilot is Scale only ($99). Growth Advisor starts at Growth ($49). Free plan exists.

What happens when the project grows?

Ask for a pricing page, an about page, and a blog. Frontpage builds and links them. No rebuild on a different platform.

Start the first page.

Describe the launch. Frontpage builds the page. Ask for the next one when it is time. Free plan. No credit card.
