TLDR: I’d choose Carrd Pro Standard for a simple one-page business site: $19 a year, plus a domain. Choose WordPress.com for a blog, or Square Free to start taking store orders with no monthly plan fee.
Latest guides
TLDR: I recommend Carrd for a small service site, portfolio, or landing page. Pro Standard costs $19 a year and adds a custom domain and forms. Choose a different builder if a blog, large shop, or many separate pages are central to your plans.
TLDR: I would start with Rafa to show your work and write a blog. Creativ Axis suits a one-page agency site. All five templates are free to copy. You still need to budget for hosting: Rafa has four CMS collections, more than the Basic plan allows.
TLDR: Choose Bricks Builder if you want fine control over a WordPress site and can spend time learning it. Shared styles and dynamic content suit freelancers; a simpler builder may fit a one-page business better.
