Atelier201 and Carrd, side by side

Based on each company's public pages and docs, November 2026. A check means it does the job, a dash that it does so partly or for an extra fee, and a cross that it doesn't, or that we couldn't find it.

The pricing page of Carrd, as it looked on November 5, 2026.

For a single page, Carrd is cheaper than we are, and it's a good tool for that job. Carrd prices are in USD, and Atelier201 prices exclude VAT.

Three differences that matter

Room to grow past one page

Carrd makes one-page sites, and it's very good at them. A business usually outgrows that: a page per service, a blog, a price list. On Atelier201 pages, lists and languages come with the one plan.

More pages, more ways to be found

One page has one address to rank with. Atelier201 gives each service and each post its own page, with a sitemap, JSON-LD, llms.txt and a Markdown copy, for Google and AI search.

Nothing gets lost

Every change on Atelier201 is a version you can go back to, and your own AI agent can work on a draft. Nothing goes live until you publish.

Moving from Carrd

A Carrd site is one page, so this is a short move. Your agent or our assistant reads it and turns its sections into real pages, and your domain comes along.

Each page gets a form made from its content. Made-up data.

What comes across

  • Your text and images, from your live page
  • Each section, as a page of its own if you like
  • Your domain, through DNS
  • Your form, as an embedded form

What doesn't

  • Carrd's templates and its exact look
  • Your Carrd plan: it's yours until it runs out

Questions

Can Carrd make a multi-page website?

Not really. Carrd builds one-page sites, and sections can imitate several pages at one address. There's no CMS or blog. Atelier201 has real pages, each with its own address, and no page limit.

Is Carrd cheaper than Atelier201?

Yes, for one page: $19 a year with your domain, against €90 before VAT. If one page is all you need, Carrd is a good choice. Atelier201 is for sites that need pages, a blog, languages or a team.

Can I export a Carrd site?

On Pro Plus, at $49 a year, you can download your site. On Atelier201 you can pull or export the whole Astro project on any plan, even a draft.

Does Carrd have version history?

We couldn't find one, and it's a complaint in reviews. On Atelier201 every change is a version, and you can roll the live site back in one click.

Is one page bad for SEO?

Not for a simple offer. But one page has one address, so it's harder to appear for several different searches. Separate pages for each service or place give Google and AI assistants more to read and cite.

Is Atelier201 a good Carrd alternative for SEO and AI search?

Every Atelier201 site is static HTML built with Astro, served from Cloudflare's network, with an XML sitemap, hreflang, JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every page. That makes it easy for Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and other answer engines to read and cite, which is what generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) are about.

Can I build my website with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini?

Yes. Connect your own AI agent, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor or Codex, through the MCP server, the CLI or the REST API. It can create the site, edit pages and content, run a build and prepare publishing. Those calls cost nothing on Atelier201, so you don't pay for AI twice. People without an agent can use the built-in assistant.

Do I own my website and its code?

Yes. Each site is a standard Astro project in its own Git repository. You can pull it with the CLI or export code, content and media at any time, on any plan, then run npm ci and npm run build and host it anywhere. There is no vendor lock-in.
