What you'll set up
- A mobile-first bio page at your shortener domain — including title, avatar, themed link blocks, and social rows.
- Per-block click analytics showing relative popularity by country and device, with CSV export.
- Version history that lets you roll back to any of the last 20 published layouts with one click.
A bio page is a single Elido short link that opens a fully designed landing page instead of redirecting. Use it when you want to share many destinations from a single QR or social-bio slot — Instagram, TikTok, an event flyer, a podcast description.
Create a bio page#
- Dashboard → Bio → New bio page.
- Pick a slug. The page is hosted at your shortener domain — for example
f.elido.me/yournameon the free plan, orlinks.acme.com/yournameif you've added a custom domain. - Add a title, a one-line subtitle, and an avatar image (JPG/PNG/WebP, up to 1 MB, square crops best).
- Add link blocks. Each block has a label, a destination URL, and an optional icon. Drag to reorder.
- Pick a theme. The starter themes ship with sensible mobile typography; you can override colours and corner radius per page.
- Click Publish. The page is live the moment you save.
Block types#
A bio page is not a Linktree clone — it supports a few specific block kinds you can mix freely:
- Link block — a button that opens any URL. The most common type.
- Social row — a row of small icons (Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.) using a single short row.
- Embed — an audio player (Spotify/SoundCloud) or video (YouTube/Vimeo) inline on the page.
- Heading — a section title used to group several links.
- Spacer — a visual gap when one row of buttons feels too dense.
Analytics#
Every click on every block is a click event with the bio slug as parent — so a single bio page shows you the relative popularity of each link without you having to set up tracking parameters. Open the bio's Analytics tab to see clicks by block, by country, by device. Block-level CSV export uses the same flow as link export.
If a single block is a redirect to an existing short link, both surfaces collect clicks: the bio block counts an outbound, and the short link counts an inbound redirect.
Themes and branding#
Pro plans get the starter themes plus colour overrides. Business plans get full CSS overrides — pass any colours, fonts (via Google Fonts), corner radius, and shadow values. You can also remove the small "Made with Elido" footer on Business.
If you've enabled white-label, your reseller branding replaces ours on every bio page in the workspace automatically.
Custom domains#
Bio pages share the workspace's domain pool. The same links.acme.com that serves your short links serves your bio pages — the router decides based on slug. So links.acme.com/spring can be a regular short link while links.acme.com/yourname is a bio page; no special DNS work is needed.
Editing a published page#
Edits are atomic. You stage them in the bio editor, hit Save, and the new layout serves on the very next request. There's no rebuild step, no caching delay above 30 seconds (the CDN refresh).
Troubleshooting#
The page renders blank on a phone. Your theme overrides are likely setting a transparent foreground or font-size 0. Open the editor on a desktop, hit Reset theme, then re-apply your customisations one at a time.
An embed shows the platform's own error. YouTube and Spotify only embed videos/tracks that allow third-party embedding. Check the original platform's privacy / embed settings.
Clicks don't show in analytics. Click events are best-effort buffered for 1–2 seconds. If you tested by clicking and immediately refreshing analytics, wait 30 seconds and reload.
