Creating a sticky button in Carrd’s free version requires some creativity, as the platform’s built-in features are somewhat limited without a subscription. However, you can achieve a similar effect using the following workaround:
Create the Button: Start by building your button on the Carrd site. Use the ‘Button’ element to create the design and position it where you want it initially. Customize the text, color, and size to fit your needs.
Use Positioning Options: While precise sticky behavior isn’t natively supported, you can try to manage the button’s placement through creative positioning with sections or adjusting margins to keep it relatively fixed, depending on page structure.
Experiment with Backgrounds and Overlays: Introduce a background or overlay in your section that provides color or contrast. This can help the button appear more sticky in look and feel, somewhat separating it visually from other scrollable content.
Manual Adjustment with Help from Visuals: If you can limit the number of sections, make use of Carrd’s scrolling behavior visuals (like fixed background images) to keep the button visible as users move down the page.
HTML and CSS Workarounds (If Possible): Some users leverage the ‘Embed’ element to insert custom HTML/CSS but note that the free plan might restrict certain advanced features. This approach often requires a basic understanding of CSS.
Ultimately, these creative strategies can help give the appearance of a sticky button, though true sticky functionality is a premium feature in many site-building platforms. To fully implement this, consider upgrading to a paid plan for broader access to customization tools.
