Making a Linktree Alternative Using Squarespace
If you’ve ever used Instagram, you’re probably familiar with Linktree, the tool that lets you share multiple links from your bio. While it’s a popular option, many creators and business owners don’t realise that you can create your own custom Linktree alternative directly inside Squarespace at no extra cost.
If you already have a Squarespace subscription, you don’t need to pay for a third-party tool.
In this guide, I’ll show you step-by-step how to build a branded “link in bio” page that works just like Linktree, but lives on your own website.
Why Use Squarespace Instead of Linktree?
Before diving into the tutorial, let’s cover why this approach makes sense:
No extra subscription fees - it’s included in your Squarespace plan.
Branded experience - instead of sending people to a third-party site, they stay on your domain.
More control - full freedom to customize design, layout, and branding.
SEO benefits - traffic goes to your own site, not Linktree.

Step-by-Step: How to Build Your Link in Bio Page on Squarespace
1. Create a New Page
Go to Pages in your Squarespace dashboard.
Under Not Linked, click the + button and add a Blank Page.
Name it something like “Link in Bio.”
2. Add a Section for Your Links
Click Edit and then Add Section.
Choose a Classic Editor section - this makes it easier to stack buttons vertically.
Set the background color (white is clean and simple).
3. Add Buttons for Each Link
Add a Button Block for your first link. Example: View My Website - link to your homepage.
Add another button: View My YouTube - link to your YouTube channel (make sure external links open in a new tab).
Keep going with affiliate links, discount codes, or any other important destinations.
4. Make the Buttons Uniform
If button sizes look uneven, switch the section to Fluid layout.
Under Design > Fill, adjust each button so they’re the same size.
Stretch buttons for a cleaner, consistent look.
5. Optimise for Mobile
Always preview your page on mobile view.
Adjust button widths so text doesn’t wrap awkwardly.
Make sure everything looks balanced across both desktop and mobile.
6. Add a Title
Use a text block above your buttons.
Example: “View My Links” set as an H1 heading.
Center it for a polished look.
7. Save and Publish
Save your page.
Add the link to your Instagram, TikTok, or other social bios.
Now, whenever someone clicks your bio link, they’ll see your custom landing page with all your important links, hosted directly on your Squarespace site.
