Move your site from Carrd to yaya

What moves and what does not

yaya reads the public text, headings and image references on your live Carrd page and drafts a site from them. Carrd's site download includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images, but it is a static copy and forms stop working. Carrd lists the download feature on its Pro Plus plan.

Before you start

• A Carrd login and a yaya account.
• Your domain login.
• About 20 minutes, plus DNS wait time.

Move your site

1. Open your site in the Carrd editor.
2. Download the site if your plan includes it, and keep the ZIP as a backup.
3. Save the images you want to reuse.
4. Open yaya and start onboarding. Paste your Carrd address under Already have a website? (optional) and click Import from my site.
5. Read the description under What does your business do? and add details that were only in your images.
6. Pick your business type, location and language, then click Next.
7. Review the draft, upload your images, and publish. See Publish your site.

Point your domain to yaya

If you published to a custom domain through Carrd, open the domain's DNS records at its registrar and follow Move a domain to yaya. Connecting a domain you own works on every plan, and yaya adds no fee for it. A Carrd site often has one page, so redirects are rarely needed.

Use Switch DNS with no downtime for the order of changes.

Fix common problems

The draft has little text. Carrd pages are short. Write more in the description before you create the draft.

My contact form stopped. Carrd forms do not work in the downloaded copy. Rebuild the form in yaya.
