"A fast and easy way to showcase your work."
5/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

I mostly appreciate the ease to showcase your portfolio in a very professional way. You have various opportunities to choose from - may it be in a gallery view or sorted into projects. And even though you have such vast customisation opportunities, you still are limited enough that you won't mess anything up. There is no need to use codes or buy different templates, if you feel like switching it up - you have total customisation and can transform your templates into different ones all by yourself.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

It was a bit difficult to get a hang of the different widgets at first, but when you use it for some time, it does get a lot easier. This might be the only downside at the moment for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, beautiful themes and design overall, and less focus on the technical more on creative. "

What do you like best about Carbonmade?

industry standard design tools and look/feel that would normally take someone with coding skills to apply to their site. Unique tool set and most importantly quick to use features for updating and branding myself online. Knowledge of other options out there and standing out from the rest with a number of features I was looking for in a product like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

Not much as most things I asked for that are missing seem to be in the pipeline and will get added eventually... Most commonly being able to add in custom code or embeds anywhere would be nice, and I would also like more control over where my portfolio pages are on the page as currently they all stack in one place, but it would be cool to be able to separate and move certain pages above a gallery or other area for instance. Just more and more flexibility to move and customize things without breaking that easy to use mindset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly"
4/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

Carbonmade is very straightforward to use. It's especially useful for those who are unfamiliar with web design or who do not want to deal with a web hosting service. Their customer service is helpful and I have seen responses in less than 24 hours with any issues I've run into. I chose Carbonmade because it is optimized for mobile phones, which is accounting for more and more web traffic as people rely on their phones rather than laptops or home computers to explore the web. Carbonmade offers easy-to-use formats and templates. All you need to do is add words, photos, or videos to make your site your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

The templates do limit the diversity or options for how your content is displayed. There is limited ability to customize your content, but as long as you aren't too particular about the formatting, it should be fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Carbonmade?

Carbonmade's free version is excellent. I never felt pushed to purchase the add-ons - only after years of happy usage I decided to upgrade. I'm no graphic designer, and the idea of making my own website has always been daunting - carbonmade is just the right amount of guidance and gives room to my creativity too. I've been using it for 8 years ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

Sometimes uploading and reorganizing my images and categories glitches, depending on the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisfied user"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

The portfolio building tool is easy to use and update. Plus, the customer support is attentive and responsive. In fact, a member of the staff contacted me to let me know my portfolio would be featured on the front of the Carbonmade landing page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

The FAQs could be more detailed for easier troubleshooting. I've missed client emails who have tried to contact me through the contact form on my portfolio site. It'd be great to add a feature on the landing page to let portfolio owners know when messages are in their mailbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience, but Needs More Customization"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

The simple user interface, the ability to apply a custom url, and the customer service are all fantastic. The price is also very competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

The templates are limiting by today's user-friendly web design tool standards. At the time, almost a decade ago, Carbonmade had template designs that put other to shame. But now, in the era of Wix and Squarespace, the templates are extremely limiting as far as design customization goes. One template does one thing upon rollover, but another does not. These should be simple toggle options. I'm a legacy user, so I probably won't migrate my stuff to another tool, but I can see many more people flocking to the other sites for this reason alone. This can be a simple pricing model for level of customization, as the other sites offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy building and aesthetically pleasing portfolios"
4/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

The user face is extremely simple to use and the options to design your portfolio are straight forward to use. I liked the options for layout and the preset design blocks made the whole portfolio designing process easy and quick. I also like the easy to read analytics provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

Though the preset design blocks were aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, I do wish there was an option to design your portfolio with more freedom. The premade design blocks were useful, but it would nice if there were some way to edit the actual option further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The expierence of the usage"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Carbonmade?

It's quite an easy-to-use app, I can recommend it. I rellay enjoyed the speed of the implementation, and the drag-n-drop feature is still a thing :)

I like the smooth animations of the tool while i'm working with that, the intuitive FAB on the right side, the text style editor is pretty nice, overall it's a modern, intuitive too, which i can recomment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbonmade?

A bit slow sometimes, this makes me close the app.

Perhaps the price is a bit overkill, but still not unreal.

I missed the animations, for example I'd really appreciate a Lottie support, or any animations possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
