Far Beyond Linktree & Bio Starter Sites

What Is a Bio Site?

A digital business card for the modern world.

A bio site is a simple, single-page hub designed to share your most important links in one place. Think of it as a clickable business card that works 24/7.

The most well-known example is Linktree, but there are plenty of other platforms, like Beacons, Campsite, and Koji.

The Coast & Cottage Difference from Linktree

Comes with NFC & QR Code Permanent Business Card

The Coast & Cottage iPIX-Micro pages offer a far richer, more immersive brand experience than a standard Linktree interface.

Rather than presenting a vertically stacked list of links, it greets visitors with a polished hero message—“Elevate your real estate experience to extraordinary”—paired with direct contact options like “Call or Text” and an email link. Beneath, you’ll find clear, branded calls-to-action for exploring Terry’s full site, featured listings, and property search tools—plus options to visit his main website or easily save your contact. This layout feels curated, professional, and tailored to the real estate context, offering a seamless narrative and easy navigation. The design speaks of intentional branding and user convenience—something a typical Linktree, even at its best, can’t fully replicate PixelFix Films.

While Linktree is fast to set up and optimizes link organization, its design is inherently templated—limited to themes, buttons, and background tweaks—and often lacks narrative flow or context beyond links.

In contrast, the Coast & Cottage iPIX-Micro transforms a simple hub into a compelling mini-site—one that builds trust, clearly communicates purpose, and seamlessly guides users through an experience designed just for agents.

What Is a One-Page Brand Site?

A mini-website designed to tell your story.

While a bio site focuses on links, a one-page brand site is all about brand storytelling.

It’s a streamlined website that lives on a single scrollable page—ideal for small businesses, personal brands, or entrepreneurs who want to showcase their personality and expertise, not just their links.

Common Features

A hero section with your tagline and brand message
About section to tell your story
Featured content or services
Embedded social feeds or videos
A contact form or newsletter signup
Call-to-action buttons like “Book Now” or “Shop the Collection”

Why You Might Upgrade

Many people start with a bio site—and that’s smart. It’s quick, easy, and free.

But as your brand grows, a one-page site gives you:

More control over your design and messaging
A stronger first impression that feels professional
A place to showcase services or products directly
The ability to grow into a full website later

Think of it as graduating from a digital handshake (bio site) to a digital storefront (one-page site).

How to Decide Which Is Right for You

Choose a Bio Site if:

You’re just starting out
Your main goal is sharing social links or content
You don’t have time or budget for a custom site

Choose a One-Page Brand Site if:

You’re ready to establish your brand identity
You offer services or products that need explanation
You want to make a memorable first impression
You need to collect leads, bookings, or email signups

Final Thoughts

Both bio sites and one-page brand sites are valuable tools—but they serve different purposes.

Bio sites are perfect for quick, lightweight sharing and social media growth.
One-page brand sites are ideal when you want to go deeper, tell your story, and create a polished digital presence.

Start with a bio site to get the ball rolling, then upgrade when you’re ready to turn your online presence into a true brand experience.
