About each tool
Carrd
Simple one-page websites for anything
Carrd lets you build simple, responsive one-page sites in minutes. Perfect for landing pages, portfolios, and link-in-bio pages.
Built by solo founder AJ, bootstrapped to $1.5M ARR with over 3.3M sites created. The definition of doing one thing well.
Cloudflare Pages
Fast, secure hosting for static sites and Jamstack apps with unlimited bandwidth
Cloudflare Pages is the “set it and forget it” hosting option. Unlimited bandwidth on the free tier means you never worry about traffic spikes — if your blog post goes viral, you do not get a surprise bill. The site you are reading right now runs on Cloudflare Pages.
The tradeoff is developer experience. Vercel and Netlify have smoother workflows, faster builds, and more integrations. Cloudflare Pages is more bare-bones. But if your priority is reliable, fast, cheap hosting that does not punish you for success, it is hard to beat free-with-unlimited-bandwidth.
