Carrd is great for simple sites.
But once you start building real products, landing pages, or content-heavy layouts, you hit limits fast.
That’s why I built Code for Carrd, a growing collection of drop-in widgets, generators, and UI enhancements that extend Carrd without turning it into a crazy project.
No bloated frameworks. No page builders on top of page builders.
Just small, focused tools that solve specific problems.
Here’s what’s inside.
Layout & interaction upgrades
Tools to break out of Carrd’s rigid layout model:
- Clickable containers
- Colored container columns
- Mixed column containers
- Scrolling container columns
- Show / hide toggles
- Smooth scrolling
- Sticky announcement bars
- Dark mode toggle
These help you create more app-like pages and modern landing layouts — without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Text & visual effects
Subtle UI polish that actually improves clarity and hierarchy:
- Typewriter headlines
- Animated text backgrounds
- Extra inline text styles
- Colored text blocks
- Image effects
- Custom fonts
Useful for highlighting key ideas, improving scannability, or adding motion without going overboard.
Content & components
Reusable blocks for common website needs:
- FAQ sections
- Testimonials
- Minimal blog embed
- Key stats widget
- Contact chips
- iMessage mockups
Drop them in and move on.
Utilities & generators
Small helpers that remove annoying setup work:
- Footer generator (with auto year)
- Mailto generator
- Auto-updating footer year
- Floating maker badge
- Custom font setup
These exist so you don’t waste time Googling snippets.
Data, galleries & dynamic elements
For when static pages aren’t enough:
- Dropbox gallery
- Searchable galleries
- Up counters
- Flip-board countdown timers
- Dailee tracker widget
- Custom testimonials from external sources
Perfect for product launches, dashboards, and marketing pages.
If you like Carrd’s simplicity but want more control, this stuff saves hours. Code for Carrd is built for people who actually want to push Carrd to it’s limits.
