Link in Bio Pages That Don’t Look Like Everyone Else’s
Your brand is unique. Your link in bio page should be too. HTMLPub uses AI to generate a completely custom bio link page — not another cookie-cutter template that looks like every other creator on the internet.
Why creators are leaving Linktree
Linktree made link in bio pages mainstream. But it also made them all look the same. Here is why creators, influencers, and businesses are looking for something better.
Linktree gave every creator the same vertical stack of buttons on a plain background. In 2020, that was fine. In 2026, it is the visual equivalent of a default email signature — functional but forgettable. When your audience taps that link in your Instagram bio, they land on a page that looks identical to thousands of others. No personality. No brand identity. No reason to remember you.
The free tier locks you into Linktree’s branding and basic themes. Want to remove the Linktree logo? That is $5/month. Want real analytics? $5/month. Custom domain? $5/month. And even on the paid plan, you are still working within Linktree’s rigid template system. You can change colors and fonts, but you cannot truly design something unique.
There are deeper problems too. Linktree pages have almost no SEO value — they are not indexed well because they are dynamically rendered within Linktree’s subdomain. You cannot add custom code, embed complex layouts, or build an email list without integrating third-party tools. For creators who take their brand seriously, these limitations add up fast.
⚠ Common Linktree complaints
- - Everyone’s page looks the same — no real differentiation
- - Limited customization even on paid plans
- - Expensive for basics: $5/month just to remove branding
- - No SEO value — pages are not well-indexed by search engines
- - No custom code, scripts, or advanced layouts
- - Email capture requires third-party integrations
✓ What creators actually want
- + A bio link page that reflects their unique brand
- + Full design control — not just color picker customization
- + Their own domain (not linktr.ee/username)
- + Built-in analytics without paying extra
- + Email capture and forms built right in
- + A page that actually helps with SEO

Link in bio pages built with HTMLPub
Three styles to show what is possible when your link page is not stuck inside a template.
A vibrant, full-screen bio page with a hero photo, animated gradient background, and large, branded link buttons. The creator’s personality comes through instantly — custom typography, signature colors, and a layout that feels more like a personal brand homepage than a list of links. Includes an email signup form for the newsletter and embedded latest YouTube video. This is not something a Linktree template can produce.
✓ What makes it work
- + Custom gradient background matching brand palette
- + Animated link buttons with hover effects
- + Embedded video and social proof section
- + Newsletter signup form built right into the page
🎯 Key features used
- + AI-generated custom design from brand description
- + Built-in form collection for email capture
- + Custom domain: links.creatorname.com
- + Analytics tracking all link clicks
A polished business bio page with the company logo, business hours, location map, and organized link sections — shop, book an appointment, reviews, contact. It functions as a mini landing page that drives real conversions, not just clicks. The page includes structured data for local SEO, which means it can actually appear in Google search results. Try getting that from a Linktree page.

A dark, moody bio page with a full-bleed background image, embedded Spotify player, and streaming platform links styled to match the artist’s latest album artwork.

And it was generated in under a minute by describing the vibe to HTMLPub’s AI.

More value than Linktree Pro
Linktree charges $5/month for basics like removing branding and getting analytics. HTMLPub gives you everything at $10/month — plus AI generation, full code control, and 50 pages.
Linktree Pro gives you theme customization, analytics, email collection (via Mailchimp integration), custom domains, and branding removal. But you are still limited to Linktree’s template system. You cannot write custom code, embed complex layouts, or generate unique designs. Every Linktree Pro page still looks like a Linktree page. For $5/month, you get polish on top of a fundamentally limited canvas.
HTMLPub Starter includes everything Linktree Pro offers and more: AI-generated unique designs, full HTML/CSS/JS control, built-in analytics, built-in form collection (no third-party tools needed), custom domains, no branding, API access, and up to 50 pages. For $5 more per month than Linktree Pro, you get a completely different level of design freedom and functionality. And if you just need one bio link page to try it out, the free tier lets you publish without even creating an account.
