a carrd on the basics to making a carrd!

one of the most confusing things when you're initially making a carrd is figuring out how to add another page to your carrd. im going to try to explain this in a very straightfoward way!

  • step 1. press the + button in the top left (depending on your device it might be the top right) corner of your screen

  • step 2. a list of controls will drop down. at the bottom there should be an option that says "controls" (has the # symbol)

  • step 3. a list of customizations will appear on your screen. there should be an option that says "type" and you want that type to be "section break"

  • step 4. once you see this there should be a dotted line at the bottom of your page that says "section_01" if you want to rename this, scroll down in the customization section and rename it.

now you want people to be able to access this second page and in order to do that you have to embed the section. you can do this in multiple ways. you could embed it onto an image, an icon, or just a simple link. the point is whatever you choose; when someone clicks on it it will bring them to the second section.

to be able to do this there has to be an option to insert a url. in that little box you will put the name of the section. for example, the section i am working on now is called #sectionbreak so i would type in "sectionbreak" pretty straightforward !

now that you know how to divide sections, it is important that you add a container to each one. a container basically holds together all of the content of ur carrd and makes it neat. here is how you add a container:

  • step 1. press the + button on your screen

  • step 2. a list of controls will drop down. at the bottom there should be an option that says "container" (has the image of a dotted square box)

  • step 3. when you click on it there should be an option that says "type" . choosing the type depends on how you want the layout of your page to look.

once you do that a greyish box should appear and it should say "empty" and that is your container where you put all your content in!

adding pictures is pretty simple and straightforward. you probably already know how to do it if youve attempted to make a carrd before but i will still include it ! adding pictures gives your carrd f l a v o r

  • step 1. press the + button on your screen

  • step 2. a list of controls should drop down. there should be an option that says "image" (has the picture of a background)

  • step 3. once you click on that there should be an option to upload an image. upload the image you want, crop it how you want, and youve added a picture!

if you want to embed a section onto your image, scroll down to the option where it says "link url" and insert the name of the section you want. (ex. #pictures)
this makes it so when someone clicks on the picture, it will take them to that section.

icons can be used for anything, but i mainly use them to either provide a link to my social media (twitter, insta, you name it) or to help people navigate through the sections of my carrd. there are tons of pretty icons you can choose from. here's how to add them

  • step 1. press the + button on your screen

  • step 2: a list of controls will drop down. find the one that says "icons" (has a picture of a diamond)

  • step 3. choose which icon you would like (there are TONS to choose from)

under that should be an option to insert a url. again you can put any link in here. to use it to navigate through sections you would put the name of the section you want. (ex. "#navigation"
