A Carrd alternative for when a one page site is not enough
Carrd builds simple, responsive one page sites, cheaply, with Pro features for custom domains, forms that connect to email tools, embeds and analytics. OneCraft Sites starts where a one page site runs out: AI written multi page sites with forms, an inbox, a store and stats built in.

The short verdict
Carrd suits a personal profile, a landing page to capture emails or a simple one page site, at a very low yearly cost, with forms routed into the email tool you already use. OneCraft suits a business that has outgrown one page: several pages, enquiries in an inbox, a store paid through Stripe and visit stats, written by AI.

Where Carrd is better
Very low cost for simple pages
Carrd Pro is priced per year and covers several sites, which is hard to beat for a profile or a single landing page. OneCraft plans are monthly and aimed at business sites.
Embed almost anything
Carrd Pro embeds custom code and widgets from services such as Stripe, PayPal and Gumroad. OneCraft Sections sites accept no custom code; only built in sections.
Forms straight into your email tool
Carrd forms connect to a long list of email services. OneCraft collects sign-ups in its inbox and you export a CSV.
Where OneCraft is different
More than one page, written for you
The generator plans pages, writes copy and picks sections from a brief, with page level search titles, a menu that follows renames, and privacy and terms pages added for you.
Enquiries in an inbox, not a third party
Contact, quote and newsletter forms post to a messages inbox with filters, a handled switch, CSV export, email alerts and push notifications, with a honeypot against spam.
A store without embeds
Products with variants, stock, discounts, shipping zones, pickup and digital downloads, paid through Stripe Checkout into your own account, all from the same builder.
One page, until it is not
Carrd is honest about what it is: one page sites for pretty much anything. A one page site is right for a launch or a profile. It runs out when people arrive looking for different things, a specific service, prices, a shop, and one long page can no longer answer each of them well.
Replacing embeds with built in parts
On Carrd a store, a booking tool or a form backend is usually an embed from another service, each with its own account. In OneCraft the store, forms and stats are part of the site, so there is one place to check orders and messages, at the cost of less freedom to embed outside tools.
Moving from Carrd
Paste your Carrd site address into the generator so the AI reads your copy, then add the pages your one page site could not hold. Point your custom domain at the new site once it is published, on a paid plan, by adding the TXT and CNAME records from the domains card.
Who should stay with Carrd
Stay with Carrd for personal profiles, single landing pages and side projects where a yearly fee and a few embeds do the job. Move when the site needs several pages, a store or enquiries you can work through in one place.
Questions people ask
Is OneCraft more expensive than Carrd?
For a single simple page, usually yes: Carrd Pro is billed yearly and is low cost. OneCraft has a free plan for one site and paid plans from $8 a month that add a custom domain, the store and more sites. Compare by what the site must do, not only by price.
Can I make a one page site on OneCraft?
Yes. Choose Landing page or Link page as the kind, or ask for one page in the brief. A sticky call to action layout keeps a button on phone screens, and section headings can be menu targets on the same page.
Can I add a Stripe button like on Carrd?
Sections sites do not take embedded code, so a pasted Stripe button will not work. Instead switch the store on, add the product, and link to its product page; checkout runs through Stripe Checkout into your own account, with stock held while the buyer pays.
Does OneCraft connect forms to Mailchimp?
Not directly. Newsletter and contact forms send to the site messages inbox and your email. Export sign-ups as CSV and import them into your email tool. If live syncing into an email tool matters more than an inbox, Carrd forms integrations are the better fit for that job.
Can I use my own analytics?
You can add a Google Analytics measurement ID, and the built in counter gives visits, estimated visitors, top pages and referrers without cookies. Other analytics scripts, such as Plausible or Matomo, cannot be added to Sections sites, so choose between the built in counter and Google Analytics.
