What Carrd is (in plain English)

Carrd is a friendly builder for simple, good‑looking, one‑page websites. You pick a template (or start blank), drag a few blocks around, write your text, and hit publish. It’s free to start, works on phones and desktops out of the box, and you can upgrade when you need extras like custom domains, forms, and analytics. (carrd.co)

Why Carrd is useful for Back Office teams

• Move faster than docs and email threads: Spin up lightweight pages for policies, requests, and status updates so people can self‑serve instead of pinging Ops.

• Mobile‑ready by default: Field teams, vendors, and execs can open your pages on any device without fiddling.

• Trust and governance built in: Use custom domains with SSL, password protection for sensitive pages, and meta controls for clarity.

• Capture and route information: Add forms to collect requests or signups; with advanced forms you can push data to Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, or even take payments via Stripe Checkout.

• Plays nice with your stack: Drop in widgets/embeds (Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Typeform) or your own code.

• Collaborate and hand off cleanly: Share editing access and transfer site ownership as processes move between teams.

• Scale without drama: Start small and grow to dozens—or hundreds—of microsites using higher site‑slot tiers when needed. (carrd.co)

What you can build in minutes

• Internal hubs: SOPs, onboarding checklists, “start here” pages that point to the tools your teams use.

• Request portals: IT tickets, equipment checkout, vendor intake, PTO—standardize submissions with structured forms and route them where they belong.

• Project one‑pagers: Roadmaps, timelines, and decision logs that stay tidy and on‑brand.

• Event or partner microsites: Agendas, FAQs, and payment‑enabled registrations using embeds or advanced forms.

• Team directories and bios: Quick profiles with contact options and links to key resources. (carrd.co)

Features that keep operations tidy

• Templates + visual editor: Launch fast, no code required; expand with slideshows, videos, and high‑quality images as needed.

• Forms (Pro Standard): Add contact and signup forms that plug into popular email tools (Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, and more).

• Advanced forms (Pro Plus): Build custom forms that integrate with Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, send data to URLs, and include Stripe Checkout for payments.

• Widgets + embeds: Use third‑party widgets (Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad, Typeform) or paste custom code.

• Analytics + meta: Add Google Analytics, meta tags, and control canonical URLs on public pages.

• Access controls: Password‑protect pages when needed.

• Branding polish: No Carrd branding on Pro, local fonts, site icons, share images, and more.

• Collaboration + handoffs: Share editing and transfer sites between accounts.

• Scale up smoothly: Choose plan variants with more site slots—up to 1000 if you need serious scale. (carrd.co)

Quick tips to make Carrd your internal “front door”

• Create a single source of truth: One clean page that links to SOPs, calendars, dashboards, and key tools.

• Standardize requests: Replace scattered emails with structured form submissions that auto‑route via Zapier/Make to your helpdesk, CRM, or spreadsheets.

• Ship small, iterate often: Publish a minimal page, watch Analytics, and improve based on real usage.

• Use custom domains for trust: A clear, branded URL reduces confusion for employees and vendors.

• Protect sensitive info: Gate internal pages with password protection when needed. (carrd.co)

If you want quick, tidy, and reliable pages to support operations—without taking on another heavy app—Carrd is a low‑cost, high‑leverage choice. It keeps information easy to find, makes requests trackable, and plugs neatly into the tools your Back Office already runs on. (carrd.co)
