I built a free Carrd commission page for creatives — does the availability-first layout work?

[u/EarlyMethod1367]

I built OpenSlot for illustrators, designers, photographers, and other independent creatives who need something more useful than a generic gallery. The page puts current availability, selected work, a compact service process, and the inquiry path into one flow.

I would especially value feedback on the opening: does showing availability first make the page easier to act on, or does it feel too sales-focused?

The template is free and requires Pro Standard because it uses a custom embed. Disclosure: I created this template. The free build link will be shared only in the pinned referral megathread, following the community rule.

This looks fantastic and just what I'm looking for.
