Choose the scope you need.

A link in bio page and a full website solve different problems. Compare scope, upkeep and cost to choose the one your audience actually needs.

Choose a bio page for a short journey

A small set of destinations works when visitors already know you from social media and want a quick next step.

Choose a larger site for depth

An extensive portfolio, content archive or complex catalogue often needs dedicated pages, navigation and search. A bio page can link to that site.

Keep ownership practical

Decide where the content is hosted, how it can be exported and who controls the domain. An HTML download gives you a file, not automatic hosting or a managed domain.

Illustrative workflow

Example: an author with an extensive back catalogue

The problem

A long list of every book makes the small bio page hard to scan.

A clearer route

Use the bio page for the newest book, a reading-order guide and events. Let the main author site hold the full archive.

Try it step by step

  1. Keep the bio page focused on the current visitor journey.
  2. Link to deeper collections rather than duplicating them.
  3. Review both pages when releases and events change.
