Weekend Project: Build Your Own 'Link-in-Bio' Website in Under an Hour

Your Instagram bio allows one link. So does your Twitter profile. But you're a multi-faceted professional in 2025. You have a LinkedIn profile, a personal blog, an online portfolio, and a new article you’re incredibly proud of. How do you share it all?

You could awkwardly swap out the link in your bio every few days, but there is a much more elegant and professional solution: a "link-in-bio" page. This is a simple, beautiful, single-page website that acts as your personal landing page and digital business card, housing all your important links in one place.

And the best part? You can build one for free, with no coding skills, in less than the time it takes to watch an episode of your favourite web series. This is the perfect weekend project to instantly upgrade your online presence. Let’s get started.

Step 1: Choose Your (Free) Tool

First, you don't need to know HTML or be a web designer. We'll use a simple "no-code" tool. While there are many options like Linktree and Bio.link, our top recommendation for its blend of simplicity, power, and professional designs is Carrd.co. Carrd allows you to build up to three one-page websites for free, which is more than enough to get started.

Step 2: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building with Carrd

This entire process should take you less than an hour. Grab a cup of chai and let's build your new online home.

1. Choose Your Starting Point

Head over to Carrd.co. You’ll be presented with a range of templates. For a link-in-bio page, the "Profile" or "Landing" page categories are your best bet. Find a simple, clean template that you like the look of. Don't worry, you can customize everything.

2. Add Your Core Information

Once you select a template, you'll be taken to the super-simple Carrd editor. The page is built with "elements" like Image, Text, and Buttons.

Image: Click on the placeholder profile picture and upload a professional, high-quality headshot of yourself.
Text: Click on the placeholder name and bio. Type in your full name and a short, descriptive bio (e.g., "Digital Marketer & Content Strategist based in Mumbai" or "Software Engineer specializing in Fintech").

3. Add Your Links (The Most Important Part!)

This is where you'll use the "Buttons" element.

Click on the placeholder buttons to edit them, or click the "+" icon to add new ones.
In the settings for each button, you'll see a field for "Label" (this is the text that appears on the button, like "My LinkedIn Profile") and "URL" (where you paste the link).
Create a button for each of your key online profiles.

4. Customize Your Style

This part is optional but fun. Click on the "Background" tab in the editor menu. You can change the background from a solid colour to a gradient or even upload an image. You can also click on any text element to change the font and colour to match your personal brand.

Step 3: What Links Should You Include?

Not sure what to add? Here's a quick checklist of essential links for any professional:

✅ Your LinkedIn Profile
✅ Your Online Portfolio (a must for designers, writers, developers, etc.)
✅ Your Personal Blog or Website
✅ Your Professional Social Media (like a well-curated X/Twitter profile)
✅ A link to your most recent project, proudest achievement, or a new video you've published.
✅ You could even add a button for people to "Book a Call" or "Contact Me."

Step 4: Publish Your Site to the World!

This is the final, exciting step.

Click the "Publish" icon in the top right corner.
Fill in the "Title" and "Description" for your site.
Under "Publish to a .carrd.co URL," type in a simple, professional name (e.g., yourname.carrd.co).
Click "Publish".

That's it! Your personal website is now live on the internet. You have a single, clean, professional link that you can put in your Instagram bio, your Twitter profile, your email signature, and on your business cards.

Conclusion

In under an hour, you have created a centralized hub for your entire online presence. It’s a small project with a massive impact on how professionally you present yourself to the world. It shows you're organized, tech-savvy, and serious about your personal brand.
