Carrd

A client needed a one-page site: simple, presentable, quick to build. A one-pager was the right scope and Carrd was the right tool for it. The design experience is easy, drag-and-drop blocks with a straightforward set of options, no steep learning curve. The site was up quickly and the process required little effort. A year on it is still live, the client is still using it, and there is no intention to move it. For that job, Carrd did what was needed.

The gaps become concrete the moment the scope moves. There is no blog or CMS section. That is not a missing feature in the sense of something likely to arrive; it is a constraint on what the product is. A site that needs to carry content over time, or that needs to rank on topic queries, cannot be built here and extended later. Form handling exists but is weak in practice. SEO capability is limited. None of these are edge cases. They are what you hit the first time any of them matter.

Durability scores 3 because the evidence runs in two directions. The client site has run for a year with no desire to change, and moving away would be trivial: one page is easy to rebuild anywhere, and lock-in is minimal. Carrd as a product is stable and long-running. Set against that, the roadmap is slow: the theme selection is still narrow and the absence of a blog section is still unfilled after a year. The score reflects both rather than averaging them away.
