How to Build a Link in Bio Page for Squarespace

Instagram used to only give you one link in your bio, and while you can now add multiple links, you might still want a branded experience or space to add more content, like email sign ups, images, and downloads.

Creating a link in bio page in your Squarespace website keeps your Instagram traffic directed to your own website instead of a third party. It’s also customizable so you can build a branded experience, styled with your fonts, colors, and images, and add additional elements like newsletter sign ups, contact forms, galleries, videos, and buttons.

In this guide, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a custom link in bio page in Squarespace.

3. Add Your Links

Use Button Blocks or text links to create your links.

4. Turn Off Page Navigation

Go to Page Settings > Navigation > Toggle off the page header and footer. This way, visitors can’t see your sitewide header and footer, and can only see the links you’ve added to your link in bio.

5. Go Live

Publish the page and copy its URL into your Instagram bio so your followers can visit it.
