Free Carrd Templates for a Small Business
Most free Carrd templates you find online are made for personal pages. For a business, the place to look is Carrd's own template chooser. We counted it on 7 October 2026: 324 starter templates, of which 202 can be selected on a free account and 122 need a paid plan.
- Landing (36 free, 66 paid): one offer, one button. The closest fit for a service business that wants calls or bookings.
- Sectioned (8 free, 7 paid): a longer page with separate blocks for services, about and contact. The closest to a small company website.
- Portfolio (24 free, 3 paid): image galleries. Useful when photos of finished work do the selling.
- Profile (134 free, 12 paid): a name, a short text and links. Fine for a freelancer, thin for a company.
- Form (0 free, 34 paid): every template built around a form needs a paid plan.
That last line is the one that matters for a business. A free template gives you the design, but a contact form that sends you enquiries is a paid feature, whichever template you start from. The next section shows what each plan unlocks.
Do Free Carrd Templates Work on a Free Carrd Account?
Partly. A template is only a starting design; what your site can do depends on your Carrd plan, not on the template. Here is what each plan unlocks, from Carrd's own pricing page:
- Free plan: your site lives on a carrd.co address, shows Carrd branding, and has a limit on how many elements a page can use.
- Pro Lite ($9/year): removes the branding and the element limit, and adds premium URLs. Still no custom domain and no forms.
- Pro Standard ($19/year): adds your own domain, forms, embeds and analytics. This is the plan most business sites need.
So a free template is fine for a personal page or a portfolio on a carrd.co address. The moment you want your own domain or a contact form that sends you enquiries, you need Pro Standard, whichever template you start from.
When is a paid template worth it? When the site has a job to do: get a small business found, show your services and bring in enquiries. Our Carrd templates are built for that, each with a live demo and 1 month of email support.
