FAQs

Willow & Hearth FAQ
Are all the items in your shop digital? +
Yes, absolutely! All templates and any accompanying perks are entirely digital products.
Do the templates come with instructions? +
Yes, but only for the custom code sections or code embed elements included in the templates. Carrd itself is very intuitive however, I would recommend consulting their excellent documentation pages here. This ensures you can easily personalize those advanced features without a hitch.
Where can I buy your Carrd website templates? +
You have two convenient options! You can purchase my templates either directly from Carrd's official Maker Program or from my Gumroad page. Just click the template picture on this page to go straight to Gumroad, or click the buttons underneath the product image to view or purchase it on Carrd.
Buying the websites on Carrd vs. Gumroad? +
While you get the same great template, purchasing on Gumroad often comes with extra perks! These can include bonus color palette suggestions, curated Google Font pairings, and helpful demo copy to make customization even easier. Check each product description for specific Gumroad bonuses.
Do I need a Carrd Pro account to use these templates? +
Most of my templates do require a Pro Standard account because they utilize advanced features like custom forms, code embeds, or advanced publishing options. I always clearly list the specific required plan level in the product description and on the product images, so you'll know exactly what's needed before you buy. A Carrd Pro Standard plan is an incredible value at just $19/year!
How do I install a template once I purchase it? +
Once you complete your purchase (whether on Carrd directly or via Gumroad), the template will be automatically added to your Carrd templates library. Carrd makes it super simple and beginner-friendly, guiding you through the installation step by step right within your dashboard. The procedure on Gumroad is quite similar; however, you will need to wait for me to manually send you a link (within 24 hours) to the template via the email address linked to your purchase.
Can I change the template’s layout or design completely? +
Yes, absolutely! Every template is 100% customizable. You have full control to edit the text, images, colors, fonts, and even the layout. Feel free to make it truly yours! While the basics are easy, keep in mind that very advanced layout changes might require a bit of extra Carrd know-how.
Are the templates mobile-friendly? +
Totally! All my templates are designed to be fully responsive, meaning they're built to look stunning and function perfectly on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers. I recommend testing your final site on multiple devices to ensure everything looks exactly how you want it.
Can I try out the template before purchasing? +
Of course! I want you to be confident in your purchase. Every template comes with a live demo link so you can fully preview the layout, features, and overall aesthetic before committing. Take a look and see if it's the right fit for what you need!
Can I sell or redistribute the template I purchase? +
No. Reselling, redistributing, or using them commercially (i.e., making new products from them to sell to others) is not permitted.
const items = document.querySelectorAll('.faq-item'); items.forEach(item => { item.addEventListener('click', () => { item.classList.toggle('active'); }); });

My creative projects are built upon the three C’s.

While each project is unique, I typically adhere to this standard structure as a guideline for best practices.

1. Consult

First, I obtain as many details as possible about the goals and objectives of the project. With this, I develop mood boards based off of the client’s vision.

2. Concept

After outlining the ideas, I work through sketches based on what was discussed. Developing at least 3 rough concepts. Then review with the client to finalize a direction.

3. Creation

The design and production stage, In which I create all assets or prototypes for the client to review. Just sit back, relax, and wait to get your designs!

4. Review

I engage with the client about design or text modifications prior to finalizing the assets, which may include 2-3 rounds of proofs.

5. Finalize

Then finally, I refine and prepare the finished design(s) for the client to receive.
