How do I customize a Carrd template after purchase?

After buying through Carrd checkout, open the template in the Carrd editor. Tiny Design Shop publishes step-by-step guides for the Product Landing and Coming Soon templates — edit text inline, delete or duplicate blocks, change colours, and add a signup form.

Customize a Carrd Coming-Soon Page

why waitlist

What a Carrd waitlist page should do.

Visitors should understand the product in seconds, see one visual proof point, and submit email without scrolling past distractions. Pick a waitlist template from the waitlist picks or the Templates of Carrd catalog, then customize with the steps below.

step 1

Edit headline and signup copy.

Replace placeholder headline, subtext, and button label with your launch promise. State what subscribers get — early access, beta invite, or launch day pricing — in one short line above the form.

Editing waitlist copy on a Carrd template — Lead with the launch promise and what happens after someone signs up.

step 2

Remove extra sections.

Strip footer links, secondary CTAs, or proof blocks that pull focus from the form. A pre-launch page can be shorter than a full landing.

Deleting a section from a Carrd waitlist template — Delete blocks that compete with the signup form on a coming-soon page.

step 3

Add screenshot or proof rows.

Duplicate an image row to show product UI, mockups, or social proof logos. Archen and similar templates are built for screenshot stacks — duplicate rows until the preview feels credible.

Duplicating a screenshot row on a Carrd waitlist template — Duplicate image rows to show more product shots without rebuilding layout.

step 4

Match brand colors.

Update background, button, and text colors to your palette. Keep the submit button high contrast so the form stays obvious on mobile.

Changing colors on a Carrd waitlist template — Align button fill with your brand accent — waitlist pages lean on one primary action.

step 5

Connect the signup form.

Select the form element and choose your provider in Carrd — Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or Carrd’s built-in form handling. Test submit on the published URL before you share the link.

Carrd’s form docs cover provider setup and field mapping: carrd.co/docs/forms.
