simple2.link vs Carrd
A one-page website builder vs. a ready-made links page.
Carrd is a flexible one-page site builder: you can make a portfolio, landing page or link-in-bio from templates and fine-tune every section. That flexibility means more design work. simple2.link has no builder — you type a name, add links, choose a theme and you're live. Choose Carrd if you want to design; choose simple2.link if you just want it done.
