haii i learned to code with carrd!! i got tired of making non pro crds and eventually bought standard! i then started editing the codes given in tuts to customize crds a bit more! and eventually i got plus and started taking a couple coding classes :3 tbh a lot of crd makers are self taught!! as for motivation id definitely say its this acc! i love making crds but i also rly love posting them for people to see :] i always recommend starting with taking pre existing codes (like the stuff you find in standard tuts) and editing them to see what does what! there’s also a bunch of resources online!! i hope your journey is fun <3
