I've spent countless hours using Carrd, never using templates and working out how to build sites from scratch. You can do this, too, if you know some basics.
I’ve written a free mini guide, which works as a beginners quick start Carrd tutorial.
I created it because I really believe in Carrd as a perfect place for makers to start an online presence for their side projects.
Shortcut the learning curve and start building with confidence
In it I share my own process and main steps to get a site started, which can save you time and frustration.
It guides you through how to set up a site, create basic elements, add detail to your site, and finally publish your site.
So if you're a beginner and not sure where to start in Carrd, this mini guide tutorial will give you the initial steps to confidently start building a site from scratch – without using a template!
