Cliux vs Carrd
Pick Cliux if you want a multi-page site with a store, bookings, a blog or members behind it, on a freeform canvas. Pick Carrd if you want a one-page site for a few dollars a year, with a free plan that publishes three of them.
In Carrd’s own words: “Simple, free, fully responsive one-page sites for pretty much anything.”

Moving over
How a move from Carrd works
There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.
There is no import tool, and Carrd's Pro Plus download is not something Cliux reads. Open the Carrd page beside a new Cliux site and rebuild its sections on the canvas; a one-page site usually becomes one long Cliux page or a few short ones.
Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old page live until you are happy.
Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.
