How to Create a Social Media Links Page in Squarespace
Create your own Linktree-style page directly on your website.
Setup the Page
Create a new unlinked page. I like to call it “Links” or ”Links Page” and make the url slug: /links.
Remove the header and footer. On version 7.1 of Squarespace, you can do this super easily, without any code. Go to Page Settings (click the gear icon next to the page name)
Click the gear icon next to the page title to open Page Settings
Toggle off Header and Footer under Navigation in Page Settings. Click Save in the top left corner.
Add Content
Center align everything.
3. Create a Mini Header
We’re going to create a mini-Header just for this page.
Add an image block to the top and add either a photo of you or the logo of the company, depending what make sense for your site. Tip: Link this photo to the homepage.
Add a text block. Put the name of the website/company. You can also add a short description, or the tagline. Tip: Use a text block, paragraph 2 style.
Add some combination of link to the website, social links block, or email address. The exact combo will depend on your specific site and how you think visitors will interact with this page.
For example, if the the main social media platform the company uses is Instagram, I’m assuming most people are going to get to this Links page from instagram, and therefore would not be interested in the link to the company instagram page right away, since they just came from there. So in that case, I would put the social links block at the bottom rather than the top.
4. Add Buttons
Add buttons for every link you want to include. Add links, and set to fill. I like to turn off “open in new tab” for these.
Aim for no more than 4-6 links.
You might want to include links to things like: services page, books page, latest blog post, current book/offering/workshop, newsletter sign up, contact form or email link, link to purchase tickets, link to make reservations, youtube or podcast link, etc.
5. Optional: Add mini-footer. Depending on the site, I might put a link to the website, the social links block again. If it’s an author, I put their most recent book covers and link them to Amazon or another platform to purchase.
6. Edit in Mobile View. Most people will be looking at this page on a mobile device, so your focus should be on the mobile view. But you also want to check the desktop view and make sure that still looks good in case someone ends up there.
7. Publish and put the link in your bio!
