Show a single link with a Link block

The "Link block" is for featuring a single link. It's a good fit when you want to place just one link you most want people to see, like "Book now" or "See my latest work." You can choose from two views — button and link preview. Free to use.

To gather multiple links into a list, use the separate "Link list" block (Set up your profile and links).

Add a Link block

  1. 1
    Choose "Link block" from "+ Add block" at the bottom of the page (how to add blocks)
  2. 2
    On the "View" tab, choose the presentation (button / link preview)
  3. 3
    On the "Content" tab, enter the destination and so on
  4. 4
    Press "Save" to apply it to your public page

Show it as a button

The "Button" view shows a single link as a large button. Good for one button that prompts an action.

  1. 1
    On the "Content" tab, enter the label (the text shown on the button)
  2. 2
    Enter the destination in URL

A short, tap-worthy label like "Book now" or "See my latest work" works well.

Show it as a link preview

The "Link preview" view loads the destination's title and image and shows a rich card-style preview. Good for introducing a blog post, work page, or shop in a way that conveys what's inside.

  1. 1
    On the "Content" tab, enter the destination in URL
  2. 2
    Press "Fetch preview from link" and the destination's title, image, and description are filled in automatically
  3. 3
    You can freely rewrite the fetched title and description on this screen. If you don't want a preview image, remove it with "Remove image"
  4. 4
    Press "Save" to apply it to your public page

Some destinations don't provide an image or description. Even then, you can enter a title by hand and still show it as a preview.

URL is required

The Link block exists to send people to a destination, so a URL is required. Left empty, the editor shows "⚠ Required." Enter a URL and save, and it appears on your public page.

Link block vs. Link list

  • Link block — when you want to feature a single link large. Good for an action button or a preview card that conveys what's inside
  • Link list — when you want to line up multiple links like social accounts and shops (Set up your profile and links)

To make a banner image stand out with a link on it, you can also use the "Image" block (Add an image or banner with a link).

Set the design

The button and card colors, corner radius, and borders are set by your theme. You can adjust them from the page-wide theme or the block's "Design" tab. To change the theme, see Choose a theme and change the design.
