Their landing page doesn't work without JS enabled, not even a single line of text. I wouldn't recommend this to build a landing page.

If the objective of a landing page is to reach the largest audience possible in a sustainable, fast and efficient way, I wouldn't choose any SPA solution. And I must add that this comes from experience. For few years I did try to go the SPA way, with server side rendering, but the extra work and overheads are just not worth it.

IMHO, nothing beats static pages for landings.

I dunno. This means you're excluding people who disable JS from your audience. I'm going to stick out my neck a suggest that they're probably very few and very unlikely to spend money on your product (my bias)

I'd say the other way around, this tool will get you a fast, single page site in shorter time than it will take for you to decide which static site generator to use (I'm being facetious)

+1 to this solution. I've been using Carrd for small landing pages ever since this summer, as it is so easy to set up and use - in less than an hour you will probably have a highly-polished mockup.

And once you get the hang of it, it takes less than 15 minutes.

I just logged in to say thanks, this looks like a great tool.
Man... that's an awesome tool
