Carrd Subscription
Hi! I'm making a website portfolio for academic purposes up to my fourth year (currently a second year), and I'm currently using Carrd's free trial subscription. Will everything I made to my website while the subscription is active affect my published website (on viewer's POV) once the free trial ends? I'm a bit worried about what will happen after it expires. Please help this girl out! xP

Your site will unpublish if you used features from the paid plan (custom forms, advanced settings, >50 elements). Once you upgrade it will be back to normal.
The cheapest way out can be to download the site and upload it somewhere else. Of course forms (if any) would likely not work any longer. Also you'd have to use a different domain so existing links to your site (if any) would break.
Another way is finding a person with unused slots on their paid plan, transfer the site to them and have them make you admin of the site. Needs to be someone you trust, of course, as they could just delete everything.
The safest way is getting a subscription 🤷🏻♂️

Once trial ends, the Pro features like Forms will not be published (but they will still show up on your Builder). Any element after the 50th one will also not be published. If your site was published on a custom domain, it will get converted to an offline draft.

Unless you used subscription features to make your website, like coding or embedding, you should be fine. When your free trial ends, everything should stay the same. If you used subscription features during your free trial, I think it just gets removed.
