Carrd vs DragDrop

Carrd is the king of one-page sites, and it costs about as much as a sandwich per year. We mean that as a compliment. DragDrop is for the day one page is not enough: a blog, a projects section, a contact form that emails you, and room to grow.

Use Carrd if…

  • You want a site that can grow all the way to code.
Where they diverge

Key differences.

01

More than one page

Carrd is proudly single-page. DragDrop gives you real navigation, a blog, and collections for structured content. Free covers 5 pages, and paid plans go up to unlimited.

02

Still free to start

DragDrop Free includes your own domain with automatic SSL, forms with email alerts, and 5 pages. The only branding is a small Powered by DragDrop footer.

03

A ceiling you will not hit soon

When you want more than the visual tools offer, open any block as real code in the studio. Carrd tops out at embeds.

In the wild

The same job, two ways.

Shipping a page for one client in Carrd, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Migration path

Switching from Carrd, in three moves.

Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.

Step 1

Bring your content

Export pages, posts, and media from Carrd. Our importer maps them onto blocks, and our team helps with the fiddly parts when you ask.

Step 2

Rebuild with blocks

Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.

Step 3

Point your domain

Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.

Want a second pair of hands? Talk to the migration team. It costs nothing to ask.
