Inspired by Carrd website designs, we built these examples in Taplink, a mobile-first, no-code website builder for creators and small businesses. They show what this Carrd alternative offers across different niches.
These features provide more room for content and sales:
- Multiple pages within one website: Menus, About sections, and service details can have separate pages, keeping the main page focused. Carrd limits each website to one page.
- More content blocks: Taplink adds maps, price lists, pricing plans, FAQ, and digital products. These formats make content easier to browse and reduce the time needed to arrange individual elements or add widgets.
- Built-in sales of digital products and services: Product pages, checkout, payment connections, and automatic file or link delivery let creators sell digital products and services without a separate store.
Most website visits now come from mobile devices, so the mobile version needs to be the priority. Taplink puts this experience first, while its websites also look good on desktop.
Readable text and easy-to-tap buttons help visitors from social media browse offers, buy products, or send requests from their phones.
The 11 examples below include live websites to explore and templates for creating your own.
For anyone looking for Carrd portfolio examples, this website offers a creative way to use photos beyond Carrd’s gallery block:
- Photo links and preset previews (screenshots 2 & 3): Images make the social links a showcase of the photographer’s style, while paired photos help visitors compare preset effects before buying. The Custom block brings these layouts together with freely arranged images, text, shapes, and buttons. It allows photo collages and clickable tiles of different sizes without code.
This feature helps the musician guide fans to a live show:
- Venue map (screenshot 3): Showing a location directly on the website helps visitors plan their visit. Here, the map and address show fans where the upcoming performance will take place. Taplink’s Map block can also display a studio, office, or store location without code or a separate widget.
Here’s how the author shares more about herself without crowding the main page:
- About page (screenshots 2 & 3): Details about the author’s qualifications and experience help readers feel more confident about buying her book. The “Learn more about me” button opens an internal page with her background and podcast links. View the About me page. This keeps the main page focused on the book while making her credentials easy to find. Taplink supports these separate pages within one site, beyond Carrd’s single-page format.
Two features support the buying process on this website:
- Photo packs (screenshots 1 & 2): Selling photos in packs lets customers buy a whole collection at once. Each pack opens a product page with a preview carousel and a description of the included images. See the photo pack page. The Digital products block supports ZIP files, so an entire collection can be delivered together. Buyers automatically receive access by email after payment.
- Buying questions (screenshot 3): Answers about purchasing, photo use, previews, and custom work help clear up doubts before a sale. The FAQ block keeps answers collapsed until opened, so visitors can find the details they need without scrolling through every explanation. It also saves the photographer from answering the same questions individually.
One layout idea stands out on this website:
- Benefits grid (screenshot 2): A custom layout makes key information easier to scan and groups related text and images together. Here, three short descriptions sit alongside travel photos to explain the guide’s value. The Custom block lets you freely arrange text, images, buttons, icons, and shapes without writing code. It also works for product showcases, promotional banners, and other layouts.
This website makes it easier to compare coaching options with the following feature:
- Coaching plans (screenshot 2): Clear plan details help visitors choose the level of support that suits them. Each card explains who the plan is for, what’s included, and how to sign up. Visitors can swipe through the options without scrolling down a long list. The Pricing plans block keeps descriptions, features, prices, and buttons together, so each offer doesn’t need to be built from separate blocks.
Here’s how this marketer makes her guides available to buy:
- Digital guides (screenshots 1 & 2): Selling guides gives this marketer another income stream, and automatic delivery saves time on order fulfillment. Visitors browse the guides on the main page, then open a product page to learn more and purchase. See the product page live. The Digital products block supports customizable product pages, payments, and automatic delivery of files or links by email.
Two features help clients prepare for their visit:
- Service prices (screenshot 2): A clear price list helps clients check their budget before booking. Services are grouped by category, and dotted lines connect each treatment to its price, making the list easy to follow. The Price list block keeps names and prices aligned without manually formatting each row.
- Salon location (screenshot 3): The map helps new clients see where the salon is and how it fits into their travel plans. Placed below the business hours and above the address, it brings the practical details of a visit together. The Map block displays the location directly on the website without a separate map widget.
Here’s how this website handles common booking concerns:
- Tour FAQ (screenshot 3): Clear answers help travelers understand what to expect and whether a tour suits their plans. The questions cover guides, group size, what’s included, and changes to travel plans. The FAQ block lets visitors open each answer separately, keeping these details compact. Its design can also be customized — here, red cards match the website’s buttons and headings.
This example shows a practical way to organize a content-heavy site:
- Separate menu page (screenshot 3): Moving the menu to a separate page keeps the main page short and lets guests browse dishes when they’re ready. The “See menu” button opens a separate page with dishes grouped by category. View the menu page. While Carrd keeps each site to one page, Taplink allows internal pages for menus, events, and other details within the same site.
Here’s how the specialist adds a digital product to her services:
- Digital recipe book (screenshots 2 & 3): The book makes the specialist’s knowledge available to people who prefer to learn on their own. Visitors can open its product page to read the description and see what’s included before buying. View the book page live. The Digital products block automatically emails the PDF after payment, so the specialist doesn’t need to send it manually.
