A Bio Site is a beautiful, mobile-friendly one page website that links to everything you offer in one place:

Bio Sites one page websites

 

In this video tutorial I show you how to create a free link-in-bio website using the Bio Sites from Squarespace.

We start by installing the Unfold mobile app (visit App Store or Google Play), adding profile details, integrating links, customizing the design and even adding a tip section for donations. Make sure you stick around until the end for several Bio Sites FAQs. Let’s get started!

ps. if you are on iOS we have an exclusive OPL30* coupon for 30% off Unfold Pro – learn more.
