CDI Website Platform

Website Builder

Build a complete dealership website from the data already inside CARF.

Choose from five professionally designed website layouts and let CARF use your dealership information, inventory, photos, financing options, promotions, contact information, and connected workflows to create a website that stays tied to CDI.

CARF handles the website infrastructure while your dealership controls the brand, content, inventory, and customer experience.

Connected from the start

What Website Builder does

CARF turns the dealership information you already maintain into a connected customer-facing website.

Instead of building a separate website database, the Website Builder works from the same CARF records used by your dealership for inventory, vehicle merchandising, leads, financing, marketing, and Sales & Deals.

The result is a website that can stay connected to the dealership as inventory and customer workflows change.

Five existing layouts

Choose from five dealership website designs

CARF includes five existing website layouts built for different dealership styles and customer experiences.

Each design uses the same CARF data underneath, so changing the website layout does not require rebuilding your inventory or dealership information.

One connected platform

Different design. Same connected dealership.

All five website designs work from the same CARF dealership records. Your inventory, photos, descriptions, pricing, promotions, financing links, dealership information, and supported customer workflows stay connected regardless of which design you choose. Switching the presentation should not mean rebuilding the dealership behind it.
