Hi! I’m absolutely in love with the look of your carrd and was wondering how you customized it :) I’m new to the site and how to use it and stuff

Thank you! If you're not familiar at all with the site and want a really introductory crash course this post explains the basics of building elements on a site better than I could

Honestly I have not done anything fancy I really just slapped some elements on there and played around with the appearance settings until I liked it, even the grid background is something you can add within carrd. This page is just a text element (the header), buttons element, and some containers broken into columns so I could add the text and images next to each other. the only slightly weird thing is the "about" title with the little icons is actually an embedded HTML element which is only available with the pro plan features and I used it to add the font awesome icons (font awesome my beloved). There are lots of settings for adding borders, drop shadows, etc to different elements and stuff. My gallery page is just a gallery element I added a bunch of pics to as well. I would like to try doing more interesting stuff with carrd at some point but if you're fine with the structural elements being relatively basic I think there's a good amount of aesthetic customization you can do that's built in
