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.
