Epic Carrd Tutorial 🙌

Learn how to recreate the famous Buffer MVP website without code, using Carrd.

The Buffer MVP story

Late 2010, Joel Gascoigne had an idea for a social media scheduling tool called Buffer. To test the viability of this possible business, he made a 2-page Minimum Viable Product (MVP) website to check whether people would even consider using the app. It worked! The next thing was to validate if people were comfortable with paying for such a product. This time he added an extra page with pricing options and measured which plan people clicked on.

People were still clicking through and giving Joel their email and a small number of people were clicking on paid plans. Joel was happy with the results and didn’t hesitate to start building the first minimal version of the real, functioning product. Buffer is now doing $18M/yr.

Who made this?

Hi! 👋 I'm Bram Kanstein. Building useful things that bring value to (aspiring) entrepreneurs and makers is what I love to do.

It started with Startup Stash, a curated directory of resources and tools for startups, that ended up as the most upvoted product of all time on Product Hunt. Til date it has helped 800.000+ entrepreneurs from around the world.

This Carrd tutorial is part of my upcoming course No-Code MVP, where I teach people the mindset, process and tools they can use to rapidly turn their startup idea into a first product they can test with potential customers. All without knowing or learning how to code.

Obviously, this website is also built with Carrd, in about 20 minutes 😎
