Bio website and about me page ideas for 2026

A bio website is a page that tells people who you are, what you do and how to reach you. It can hold a short introduction, links to your work and a contact option. You don't need a full website if that's all you want people to find.

Heya is made by the team that wrote this guide, so read its row with that in mind. Prices come from each company's own pages, checked between October 29 and November 9, 2026.

What to put on a bio website

Start with your name and a short line about what you do. Add who you work with or what you're interested in if that's part of the introduction you want to make. A photo is an option, not a requirement.

Give your work some space. You could link to a portfolio, a project or something you've written, but you don't have to include everything you've ever made, and you can leave out work you no longer want to share.

Then decide what you want someone to do next. Get in touch? See your work? Choose a clear label for that link or button.

Keep contact details you're comfortable making public. An email address or a link to a contact form is enough. Add social links you want people to visit, and check each link before you publish.

Writing your about me text

Write as yourself. "I" is fine for a personal page, and you don't need to describe yourself as though someone else is introducing you at an event.

Start with what you do now. If your job title needs explaining, use plain words rather than adding another title. Say what you make, what you help with or what you're working on, then add a detail from your background if you want it there.

What would you say to someone who asked about your work? Write that down first. You can tidy the wording after you've got something on the page (no need to make the opening line clever).

Keep it brief. A short introduction and a little more detail underneath are enough to start with. Read it aloud, cut phrases you wouldn't say, and finish with a clear way to contact you or see your work.

A bio page, a link in bio or a full site

Choose a bio page if the introduction is the main thing: who you are, what you do and where someone can contact you. about.me is an option for that, while Carrd offers a free Basic experience and paid plans for publishing without its branding.

If your page is mostly a collection of destinations, look at Linktree. Its Free plan includes unlimited basic links. You can keep the introduction short and let visitors choose where to go.

But do you need separate pages? Heya supports one-page and small sites, including up to 5 pages per site on Free. Wix offers customizable website templates and Premium options for connecting your domain.

Decide what you want to publish before choosing a paid plan. Check the custom-domain and branding rules, then use a free option to build the page you have in mind.

FAQ

What is a bio website?

A bio website is a page about you, with a short introduction and a way to reach you. It can also include work samples or links to other places online. It doesn't have to be a full site with separate pages; a single page can hold what you want to share.

What should an about me page include?

Include your name, what you do and a way to contact you. Add relevant background or links to your work if you want readers to see them. You can include a personal detail too, but you don't need to turn the page into your whole life story.

Is about.me free?

Yes. about.me offers a Free plan for $0, including a page and an email signature with your free link. Standard is the cheapest paid plan at $5 per month, billed as $60 annually. You'll need Pro to connect a custom domain or remove about.me branding.

How long should an about me page be?

Keep it short enough to read without a big commitment: a brief introduction, some relevant detail and a contact option. If you have more to share, put the introduction first and the longer background below it. You don't need to stretch a short bio into a long page.
