September 27, 2023

The problem with Carrd icons and links

Carrd has an element called icons. It lets you add one or more nicely styled icons to your site. And for each icon it wants a link URL. So on desktop computers, when the icon is hovered it has a pointer cursor. And for when tapping/clicking the icon it will take users to that URL.

The problem: you can’t really use icons for decorational purposes like this. They would still look and be clickable. But there is a solution for using icons without link URLs.

How to use Carrd’s icon element without links

The solution is pretty simple. Instead of entering a URL or # or something else, enter

browser:none

When you type this for the URL of the icon’s link, it will

  • not show the pointing hand cursor when hovering on desktop
  • it will not be clickable/tappable

Here’s what it looks like in the settings:
