I’ve seen some really nice carrd pages but I think people paid for pro. I’m not sure what comes with it or what the difference is yet though since I haven’t gotten it.

I do have the pro version. TOTALLY worth it at $50 a YEAR vs all the other hosting sites I've dealt with.
You CAN do some customization, but not to a certain extent. T.T

Ooooh. Some of the others I've played with are wix, squarespace, and weebly.
The only other thing I can think of is work with a professional company but that's more expensive, I'm sure.

I know I host my photography stuff on Fabrik, but I know that's rather different.

No worries! I am checking out all the options so thanks for the input! Imma check out Fabrik.

I have a site on Portfoliobox that looks semi decent, maybe worth a look?

will definitely take a look.

I don't know if it will suit your needs, but Neocities may be worth a look if you're comfortable making a site from scratch.

I actually don't mind building from scratch. I find it fun! However I wished I learned JS more... I would have at LEAST had better understanding.

I have pay for a custom webhosting and webdomain, and I'm using wordpress for all my website needs... it's easy to install and maintain on basic level, but if you want to fancy it up, you might need some know how if you can't find a theme that doesn't work for you. That being said, there are a lot of themes out there, both paid and free, and wordpress isn't your only option, so if you need the flexibility, just swapping from godaddy to a better webhost might be good.

https://www.radicenter.eu/ is where my site is hosted and I've never had problems with them, outside them retiring the mini plan I used to use (was about 2 eur cheaper/month compared to my current one) ... they are EU based, Estonian I believe, so I'm not sure if they're an option for people outside EU, tho.

Not an option unfortunately, I did check them out... T.T but thanks for the info!

Maybe Squarespace?

Tried em... don't like their plans at all. I remember when hosting used to be CHEAP... XP
All these bigger names are getting too outrageous with their prices.

Yea, its what im sitting on right now. Dx they got a real nice website builder, but they are $$$

I went with Hostinger Neolucky recommended. They give me A LOT more than what I was getting from Gdaddy.
LUCKYILY for me though, I can do some coding XD so building a website via wordpress or scratch is fairly easy.
kekekekekke

im excited!
Also just saw that i missed the deal, lol boo

For me, I take advantage of GitHub for some "cheap/free hosting" but you'd need to know how make your own site, preferably as an HMTL5 project, and you'd need to pay for a custom URL separately if you don't want the ".io" as the base URL, PLUS you wouldn't have all the useful doodads that places like Carrd offers like payment processing. Everything would have to be done from scratch. But that's free for you.

I don't mind the free, but I what a little bit more than what github offers.
Ecommerce is a whole other field I'll deal with later or just sign up on etsy for (T.T)
Thanks for the info!

NP.

I use Hostinger, it's cheap it has a great website builder and its reliable <3

Out of all the options suggested. Hostinger seems to be giving me the best offer so far.
They have a NICE deal too going on for 4 years, secured @ $130

SUCKS that it ends in 12 hours... T.T
BUT! I still might get it. Thanks for the deets!

I done it. Got Hostinger. XD
Looking GREAT so far!

Awesome :D hope ya have fun, I really liked it! I used to use wix for years but they went insane with pricing, an hostinger was the closest I could find to it!

Hostinger seems to be giving me the better deal, but I am LIKING this Generated Press Theme.
I mean... it's been YEARS... WP SHOULD have some better themes/plugins by now.

Carrd is nice, but from my personal experience, when you put alot of images in it starts to choke. Also its not completely customizable. I also used pro version, but honestly its not great for hosting a gallery.

I invested in hosting and custom domain and use wordpress with themify ultra. Serach for Hogan Chua on youtube for tutorials and free theme download. He explains it from start to finish.

oohhh ok this is GOOD to know.
I will probably keep carrd like a linktree then. Simple and sweet.

if you have a google account you can do google sites for free, their pretty easy to use

gods no... goggle got their hands in everything I do already.
I'm ok with them not being in EVERYTHING. XD

I run a server and do hosting if you want to drop me a note.

Someone else in your comments already mentioned it, but I just use GitHub's repositories to host a pretty barebones one-page website. The hosting itself is free, but you still need to know how to code your own stuff and pay for a domain URL to direct to it.

I use anubianhost and can't say enough good about them. They're also run by a community member for years.

It has some site builders and the usual WordPress stuff. DM me if you want some help.

Carrd is really great and I've been using them for my portfolio site for a long time now!

But If you want more customization, I will say I've been working with wordpress more and more for my part time job, and they definitely have that. I'm not an expert by any means, but it seems to have both ease of use for people who don't know code, and more in depth options for people who do.

And as a side note, not sure if you're interested in hiring someone to help you with it, but if so I can point you to my boss at: https://piratechs.com/
No worries if not though! <3

Is this why your velvetbunny site is down,? I got a new art set up cause my laptop harddrie might be unfixable and I'm trying to redownload everything I've bought ;^; then kept getting errors on your site

YUP. Gonna have to stop using this damn site cause they kept auto-update my themes when I SPECIFIALLY opted out of those options and thus stripped my site of securities and fucked it all up.

NO plans to redo the site, just gonna have to take a different path now.

Ahhhh noooo that sucks so darn hard! I'm sorry to hear that! Also good news is I think I got all the bases I had bought redownloaded ^^
