Upgrade when custom domain or workflow matters
Can LayoutPages replace a simple Carrd page?
Yes, if the user wants room for projects, posts, paid offers, or client workflow. Carrd may still be a better fit for a tiny static page.
Why not start with a one-page builder?
A one-page builder is fine until every new proof item, offer, or private client page becomes another manual workaround.
