Landing vs waitlist vs shop vs portfolio vs SaaS.
Each template type solves a different first page. Match the shelf row to what visitors should do on arrival.
- Landing page — one focused offer with a clear CTA. Use for product launches, course sales, or a single service pitch.
- Waitlist / coming soon — capture email before the product ships. Pair headline, proof, and a signup form.
- Shop — multiple products or tiers on one Carrd site. Pick layouts with repeatable product rows or category blocks.
- Portfolio — work samples, case studies, or photography grids. Prioritize image blocks and light navigation.
- SaaS — feature sections, social proof, and pricing or trial CTAs. Often shares layout DNA with product landings but tuned for software.
price tiers
What the price bands mean on this shelf.
Templates of Carrd spans roughly USD 1–99. On the catalog, use price filters to narrow the list:
- Under $5 — quick one-screen layouts for fast experiments.
- $10 and under — focused pages with fewer sections; good for waitlists and micro-sites.
- $25 and under — most landing and waitlist picks, including bestsellers with FAQ, testimonials, or multipage options.
- Above $25 — heavier shop or multi-section layouts when you need more structure out of the box.
Price reflects layout depth and customization surface — not Carrd hosting. You still need a Carrd plan to publish.
demo vs buy
Preview live, then purchase the template file.
View demo opens a live Carrd preview in a new tab. Scroll the real layout, check mobile width, and confirm the sections you need exist.
Buy template goes to Carrd’s checkout for that layout. After purchase, duplicate the template into your Carrd account and edit text, images, colors, and forms in the Carrd builder.
Buy when the demo matches your content plan. If you only need one section type — say a product hero or a waitlist form — open the matching tutorial guide after purchase.
