You don’t build it. You fill it in.

Add your name, paste in your links, and pin the highlights. The layout is already handled, and you can switch the theme anytime.

An animation of a Linkfount site being set up. The page starts as an outline. Harriet Vale’s name, bio, and links fill in. She chooses Add, then Create list, and names a list Essays. She chooses Add, then Add link, pastes an address from her newsletter, and the essay’s title, picture, and date fill themselves in. It lands at the top of her page, and her Essays list fills in under it. She pins the essay, and it becomes a large card that opens the page. The buttons after the animation each show one more change to the same page.

Watch another change

Everyone wants a website. They don’t want a chore—especially not a never-ending one. So they cobble together a few links in a link-in-bio, or start a WordPress project that never gets finished. Or is finished and then quickly goes out of date. Linkfount makes setup a snap and maintenance a breeze, so you or your organization can have a website you’re proud to share.

Simple and flexible.

For a long time, people and small organizations have needed to choose between simple, inflexible solutions and flexible, complex, and fragile ones. Linkfount is designed as an opinionated middle way: it offers flexible organization, enough theme options to feel personal or branded, and carefully chosen defaults that virtually guarantee great results.

Philosophy

  • Do what’s good for users, not what’s good for conversion.

    No bullying pop-ups, no hidden paywalls, and no dark patterns that make it hard to export your work, cancel, or leave.

  • Convention over configuration.

    Solve problems like layout once, and well. Tools that try to be everything for everyone end up confusing, and so do the sites people build with them.

  • Use AI tastefully.

    Leave the writing to people; the web has enough slop. Use AI for the chores: keeping things organized, catching typos, and finding work you’ve already written.

  • Beauty, not vanity.

    Make sites beautiful by making them useful, so visitors find what they came for. Never trade that for effects that only impress.

  • Don’t colonize attention.

    Make it easy to find things and get the updates you want. Never try to keep you or your visitors scrolling; we aren’t paid for attention.

  • Charge fair prices. Don’t make users the product.

    Let users pay us directly, so we never need to sell your attention or your visitors’.

    Invite the people who should keep the site current. Editors add and update; owners approve, pay, and decide who’s on the team.

    Owners and editors
    Editors keep the content current. Billing, the domain, and site settings stay with the owners.
    Approve before it’s live
    Choose whether an editor’s changes and anything autosync finds go up straight away or wait for an owner.
    Hand it over
    When the person who set it up moves on, make someone else the owner. The site, its history, and its domain stay put.
    Your own address
    Use your organization’s domain or a subdomain of it, so the site looks as official as it is.

    Magazines fold and lose their archives. Every link you add gets two saved copies, so your clips outlast the sites that ran them.

    Use cases

    A writer and a communications team want different things from a website. Neither wants another project.

    • Personal websites

      A home for your work that stays current.

      For writers, researchers, podcasters, and anyone whose work is spread across the web. Your essays, episodes, papers, and projects in one place, with new ones added as they come out.

      Find your field

    • Press & media kits

      A press page as current as your coverage.

      Articles, mentions, interviews, releases, bios, and downloadable assets in one polished place. Add coverage the day it runs, without waiting on a website release.

      See press kits

    • Organization sites

      A useful website without a webmaster.

      Publications, people, projects, events, and resources, kept up by whoever is on the team. Editors update the content; billing and settings stay with the owners.

      See organization sites

    • Marketing teams

      Launch the page today. Update it tomorrow.

      Announcements, case studies, and resource libraries your team can change without filing a ticket. It sits beside your main website, so nothing waits on its release cycle.

    FAQ

    A website is a lot of work. A link-in-bio page holds too little. A newsletter or social account keeps your readers on someone else’s platform. Linkfount sits in between: your links, posts, PDFs, papers, books, and events, sorted into lists (and lists inside lists), with the design, search, and a Recent page handled for you.

    No. Paste a link and you’ll see your site before you make an account. After that, adding something means pasting a link or uploading a file.

    No. Six links, each with a line on why you chose it, look like a well-kept shelf. Four hundred look like a library. Your site is organized into lists you choose, so it doesn’t depend on how often you post.

    Not one that decides who gets seen. Linkfount has no feed that ranks, boosts, or buries anyone’s work. Readers follow you directly, by email or by subscribing to your site (or a single list) in any RSS reader.

    The people who use it. Linkfount is bootstrapped and paid for by subscriptions, not investors or advertisers. There are no ads, and nothing pops up when your visitors arrive.

    Yes, any time, on any plan. Download a zip of your items, lists, and subscribers as spreadsheets, with your images. If you use your own domain, point it wherever you go next.

    If you need a shop or a checkout, use a website builder; Linkfount doesn’t take payments. If you want a custom design, a builder or a developer will give you more control. And if you want an algorithm to find you an audience, that’s what social platforms are for.

    Make the website you’ve been meaning to.

    Start with one link to something you’ve made, and see your draft before you make an account. Free for as long as you like.
