How to design your Link Craft page
Your page is a template (structure) wearing a theme (style), filled in with widgets (your content). This guide shows how they fit together and the fastest path from draft to publish.
1) Start with a template
Templates are layout blueprints made of widgets. They come in two families — stacked (vertical sections) and grid (12-column tiles) — and choose a hero mode: card, band, or minimal. Pick the one that matches how you want people to scan your page.

Template Anatomy
A template is the structure of your page. It decides which widgets appear and in what order. Each widget is a self-contained unit — your identity card, your link list, a testimonial carousel, a media gallery — that plugs into the template.

2) Pick the right theme
Themes restyle the same template across four independent dimensions — palette, background, font pair, and button surface — plus a light or dark mode. Mix and match freely; every preset is built from these tokens.
Palette
Surface, accent, and content colors — plus light or dark mode.
Background
Flat, gradient, or image — applied to the page or just the hero.
Font pair
A curated heading + body pairing sets the brand personality.
Bold Headline
Friendly supporting text
Button surface
Radius, fill, and shadow — pick the button style that matches the mood.
3) Combine both for best results
Think of templates as the skeleton and themes as the skin. Keep the structure that converts for your goal, then explore style variations.

4) Add the widgets you need
Every template ships with a sensible set of widgets, and you can add more from the widget picker in the editor. Each widget has a role; mix them to match your goal.
Identity
Your avatar, display name, and bio — the first thing visitors see.
Links
Your call-to-action list. Group by section, mark one as featured.
Social
Compact row of social icons for quick follows.
Text
A headline or paragraph — perfect for context or announcements.
Media
Images, video, or a gallery to show your work.
Testimonial
Social proof from clients, customers, or collaborators.
Payment
A single payment link for tips, checkout, or booking a service.
Calendar · Event · Product
Specialized widgets for booking, events, and storefronts.
How the widget picker works
The picker shows you how many of each widget you can add on your plan (for example, 3 of 5 Link widgets used) and whether a widget fits the current template — a great fit renders natively, compatible still works, and degraded means the template will stack it in a simpler way. Switching templates reconciles your widgets automatically: matching widgets move to the new layout, and anything that doesn't fit is preserved as an add-on.
5) Follow this workflow
Use this simple sequence to get from zero to publish in minutes.
1
Choose a template by your goal
Pick the layout that matches your use case: creator profile, selling, coaching, or restaurant links.
- Simple Links: general creators
- Sell Something: products and services
- Fitness Coach: trainers and coaches
- Restaurant: menus, reservations, ordering
2
Pick a theme that fits your brand
Start with professional/minimal/fun/festive options and preview quickly.
ProfessionalMinimalFunFestive
3
Customize your widgets in the editor
Edit your identity, links, social icons, testimonials, text, and media. Add new widgets from the picker within your plan limits.
4
Preview and publish confidently
Use the live phone preview to check every widget, then publish to snapshot your draft to your public profile at /your-username.
Publishing freezes the current draft — visitors only see what you publish.
Pro tips
Use the suggested theme first
Every template includes a suggested starting theme that usually fits out of the box.
Test dark and light variants
Keep the same structure and compare readability before finalizing.
Keep link labels action-oriented
Clear CTA labels improve conversions regardless of theme.
Switch templates fearlessly
Your widgets and content are reconciled into the new template automatically — try a few and keep what looks best.
