## Replace your Linktree with a real website.

To replace a Linktree or other link-in-bio page, build a small website on your own domain and put that address in your bio instead. Keep a links page on the site for the buttons you still need, and give everything else, such as what you offer, prices, booking details and a contact form, a real page of its own. With Ember you describe what you do or import your Instagram profile, and Ember builds and hosts the site; you change it by chatting rather than editing blocks.

You can build and preview a site for free with 150 starter credits; publishing it to the web needs a paid plan, from $9 a month ([pricing](https://embersites.com/pricing/)).

### Link-in-bio page or website?

|  | Link-in-bio page | Your own website |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Shape | One page of buttons | As many pages as you need |
| Where visitors end up | Somewhere else, after a tap | On your pages, reading about you |
| Search engines and AI assistants | Little text to read or quote | Pages they can index, read and cite |
| Enquiries | Links out to email or DMs | A contact form with an inbox and email alerts |
| Address | Usually the platform's own | Your own domain |

A link-in-bio page is still handy for one thing: sending followers to several places at once. You can keep that on your website as a links page, so nothing is lost when you switch.

### How to replace your link-in-bio page with Ember

- Start a site: describe your business in a sentence on [Ember's builder](https://embersites.app/build), or paste your handle into the [Instagram import](https://embersites.com/import/?from=instagram) so Ember brings over your bio and recent photos.
- Tell Ember which links you want to keep, for example your shop, booking page, newsletter and latest video. Ask for a links page at an address such as yourdomain.com/links.
- Ask for the pages your links were standing in for: services and prices, a portfolio or gallery, an about page and a contact form.
- Preview it on your phone, since that's where bio-link visitors arrive, and ask for any changes in plain words.
- Publish on a paid plan, connect a domain you own or buy one inside Ember, and swap the link in your bio for your new address.

### What to put on the site

- A home page that says in one line who you are and what you offer.
- A links page with the same buttons your followers already use.
- Services, products or a menu, with prices if you share them.
- A gallery or portfolio of your best work.
- A contact form, so enquiries arrive in an inbox instead of your DMs.
- Answers to the questions people always ask, which also helps search engines and AI assistants recommend you.

### Frequently asked questions

### Can I keep a page of links on my Ember site?

Yes. Ask Ember for a links page and it builds one in your site's design, with your buttons in the order you choose. Put that page's address in your bio if you want followers to land on it first.

### Will my links page look good on a phone?

Yes. Every Ember site is responsive, and you can check the mobile view in the preview before you publish.

### Can I import my Instagram profile?

Yes, if the profile is public. Ember brings over your name, bio, profile link and recent photos and builds the site around them.

### Do I need my own domain?

Every paid plan includes a custom domain, and a domain of your own is what makes the site yours. Connect one you already have or buy a new one inside Ember.

### What does it cost?

Building and previewing is free with 150 starter credits. Publishing needs a paid plan, which starts at $9 a month.
