--- title: "Creating a link in bio page or site" updated: 2026-03-10 --- # Creating a link in bio page or site > **Notice** > > This article covers the Website Builder, which is continuously evolving based on customer feedback. Some details shown here may differ from what you see in-app. A link in bio page or site is a simple, mobile-friendly landing page that hosts all your most important business and/or personal links in one place, perfect for sharing across social platforms. In the Website Builder you can create a link in bio page in two ways: - [**As a stand-alone site**](#h_01K9YS11GRJQZCD9W3Z34GRMN8) during the Website Builder onboarding flow. - [**As a default page within your website**](#h_01K9YS11GRJQZCD9W3Z34GRMN8). You can add your link in bio URL to any social platform, and if your [publication uses a custom domain](https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/14492990172823), the page will automatically reflect your brand and strengthen your professional presence. This article includes a short video tutorial, followed by step-by-step instructions for both setup options, plus a set of FAQs at the end. --- ## Watch and learn: How to create a link in bio page in beehiiv [Embedded video](//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/b-b9MgHkqZU?si=DPgBZhl5N5PNS49t) > **Disclaimer** > > The beehiiv platform has evolved since the filming of this video so parts of the user interface will be slightly different than what you see in your account.  > > Specifically, the custom page option (starting at 3:04) is no longer available. Link in bio custom page templates are now the default Link in bio page, available to all users. Custom pages using the Link in bio template created prior to this change can be found under the new Link in bio default page.

This option appears directly in the Website Builder onboarding flow, and you can always add more pages later as your content grows. 1. From the left panel in your account, go to **Website >** [**Builder**](https://app.beehiiv.com/website_builder_v2).    2. When prompted with ‘What are you here for?’, select **Link in bio**, then click **Next**. ![](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/36313978535831) 3. **Select a template.** On the template selection page, choose a template that fits your brand or style, then click **Next** to continue. ![](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/36314026458263) > **Tech Note** > > Most templates are available on the Launch plan, but some are exclusive to paid plans.
